Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I MISS YOU DADDY

If you were with me now
I'd find myself in you
If you were with me now
You're the only one who knew
All the things we planned to do

I want to live my life
The way you said I would
With courage as my light
Fighting for what's right
Like you made me believe I could

And I will fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
On my father's wings

This world I'll never see
My dreams that just won't be
This horse's stride
with one days ride
Will have covered more
distance than me

But I will fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
On my father's wings

Someday with his spirit to guide me
And his memory beside me
I will be free to

Fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
On my father's wings
On my father's wings

Hey Mr.Chris,
I just wanted to let you know that I miss you. Noah is turning out to look and act more like you. I took a picture of him the other day and he looked identical to you. Its very cute. I think about you alot. I try not to talk about my father much around Noah because I dont want to upset him but I still feel bad when the subject comes up. I wan you to know though, Noah knows how great you are and he wont let anybody tell him different. He loves you so very much. I know that everyone down here misses you. Kendall is adorable. I know she was sent to jennifer from you. Well I better be getting off here. Ill stop by again later. love you and miss you!

Hey Dennis,
Boy, it amazes me every time I sign on here and read all the reflections written by those that loved u. There r so many!:) I wanted to tell u that my son George, my nephew BJ and one of George's friends r going to the police academy together. U were such an inspiration. George looked up to u and will never forget all the talks u had. He was so happy when u brought him the application and really appreciated all ur help and advice. As his mother, I am so affraid for him, but it's his choice and I trust he will remember all the lessons and guidence u gave him. I know u will watch over my boy and keep him safe. We miss u very much and will always love u! :)

Dennis,
I can't believe it's been almost 7 months. We all miss you very much, yet some times its like you are sitting right in the room with us all. There isn't a day that goes by that someone starts strolling down memory lane about you and how you always told those stories and made everyone laugh. Patti, the kids, your fellow officers and friends get together often and you are always the first topic of conversation, and I know you must love that! LOL!I also know how "PROUD" you must be to see how you have been honored and remembered. How everyone has worked so hard to do the very best they can to show their love and respect for you. You were so loved and cared about, you knew this even before. All the planning and work done by your comrades during some pretty hectic and busy work schedule's was out standing and they should be very pleased with the out come of it all. Washington was a wonderful week of showing respect to you and other fallen officers. To us, your life will always be remembered with love and dignity, nothing negative is worth our energy, we miss you and love you as always! :)

Daddy,
Well I figured since I have finally calmed down from the trip to Washington I needed to talk to you. I just wish you were here. I miss you so much. I was at work the other night and was telling stories about all the things we used to do and all the stuff you used to let me get away with. I had to tell the story of when we were down visiting Gram and Grandpa and went bike riding and those two little old ladies on the golf cart ran me off the path. I don't ever recall you ever moving as fast as you did when you stopped that runner and got them to call 911. I can honestly say I think I was the only child that had two fire trucks, an ambulance, and three cop cars show up for a scraped knee. I think evryone was right when they said I had you wrapped around my little finger. I was a Daddy's girl then and will always be. I love you.

As I sit here and look at your photo, I cannot help but remember and laugh about how you whined and fussed when I had to take the picture for your I.D. card. I still haven't changed your chair out in my office. It is still uncomfortable and I miss you coming in; falling in it...complaining "Chap, when are you going to get a chair I can fit in?" Then we would laugh.
As a minister, it was a blessing for me to discuss the Word of God and pray with you from time to time. I knew it took grit and a determination to want to make changes in your life. I watched from a distance as God worked in your life through many things; then Friday came. Chaos, confusion, prayer, desperation, fear, nausea, faith, tears, professionalism, determination, sorrow, grief, anger, numbness....the list goes on. All those feelings in the space of 24 hours. I have tried to make sense of your leaving from a worldly standpoint, as we often do. I cannot. From a godly standpoint, it makes all the sense in the world to me. As a gardener tends to his roses, he manicures, prunes, fertilizes; and when the rose blooms to its full brilliance, it is cut and placed ever so carefully as the centerpiece on the Master's table. That was the changes I watched being made in your life Brother. Now you are at home with the Master and Lord.
John 14:1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Today, we are doing the "Mock Crash" for Prom Promise at Effingham County High School. You were there last year doing the traffic safety exercise to save a kid's life, if they listened and watched, and learned. I will miss your presence out there today. I will make mention of you to the kids today and your commitment to keeping them safe at prom, so you will still be in the program brother. Thanks for your trust in the Lord and me as your Chaplain. Until then...serve the Lord well, there as we continue to serve Him here.

Daddy,
I just wanted to let you know that Kendall is doing great. I have to hand it to you; you really got me on that one. Everyone keeps saying that she's lucky to have her own special angel upstairs and I truly have to agree. There's no denying that she definitely has Wright blood in her. She'd make you proud. She's tuff and hardheaded like the rest of us. Kyle and Brett are doing great too. Kyle graduates on Friday and I'm sure you'll be watching. We really miss you a lot. I'm really looking forward to the trip to Washington. I think it's going to be nice to spend some time with Noah. You really are lucky to have had such a sweet child. Some of ther's just no hope for, but what can I say I'm just like my Daddy. I love you and miss you.

Hey Mr.Chris,
It is late but I wanted to come write to you. I miss you. I know Noah does. Your father came to one or 2 of noahs games so far. I could tell Noah was happy. Noah loves baseball. He is on a different team this year, he wanted to be on Mr.Tommys. But I think he likes the team he is on now too. Noah is proud of you. He says he wants to be a policeman just like you. He loves you so very much. You were a great father to him, and you still are in your own special way. We love and miss you!

You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day,
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.
Nothing could every stop you,
Or even make you fall,
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.
But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left,
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye,
And I can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why?
Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter,
But I know you're in Heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
I didn't see this coming,
It hit me by surprise,
And when you left this world,
A small part of me died.
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through,
And I know everyday for the rest of my life,
I'll be missing you.

love your friend

Fallen Officer's Prayer

I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
My Name For All Eternity.
Recorded Here At This Hallowed Place.
Alas, My Name, No More My Face.
'In The Line of Duty' I Hear Them Say.
My Family Now The Price To Pay.
My Folded Flag Stained With Their
Tears.
We Only Had Those Few Short Years.
The Badge No Longer On My Chest.
I Sleep Now In Eternal Rest.
My Sword I Pass To Those Behind And
Pray They Keep This Thought In Mind.
I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
And With A Heavy Heart And Bended
Knee, I Ask For All Here From The
Past...
Dear God, Let My Name Be The Last.

April 9, 2007

Lord,
He was yours to give,
and yours to call home,
please stand by his brothers,
so they don't feel alone,
dry the tears of his family,
so they clearly see:
that he gave his all,
so all could have peace.
Blessed are they,
the children of God,
with heavy hearts,
and honor - they trod,
to pay their respects,
to give their salute,
and to ask for your mercy,
on heroes in Blue.
Amen.

Hi Chris, just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how Noah is doing...You can be very proud of your young son..He has been a real trooper during this most difficult time for him...Noah talks to me quite often about his daddy especially when he spends the night with me...He told me about a field trip that you went with him, going fishing, about when he would spend the night with you, you would get something to eat from Subway but you would let him pick out lunchables from the store...Guess what Chris, it is March but I still have my Christmas tree up because it is the one you bought for Noah so to me and Noah that is our way of knowing that you were spending your Christmas with Jesus. Noah loves it that the tree is still up in your memory Chris...Well I just wanted you to know Chris that you have a very great son who loves and misses his daddy very much...you are always on his mind...He is very proud that his Dad was a police officer...I will keep you posted on Noah...We send you our love and you are missed very much...

He walked life’s lonely path with honor, Lord,
Protecting those you sent his way…
Until, at last, with task well done,
Your call is heard today.

We hear you saying:
Come, my friend, with me apart…from years of service rest.
You’ve helped the poor, protected all, you’ve passed Life’s every test.
You did not falter, did not fail though weary was your soul

I saw your tears, I felt your fears…I helped you toward your goal.

Beneath that badge there beat a heart, strong, courageous, true…

When duty called, you answered, my hero dressed in blue!
Come, my friend, your reward awaits: the law you did obey.
Faithful through life’s endless storms you showed my people the way.

Your beat is ended; roll call’s done! Now, rest on Heaven’s shore.
The good you did so willingly will remain forever more.”

Thank you; Father, for your great love as we cherish his memory dear
We offer this brave soul to you…be with him ever near.
And when, at last, we hear your call may we each take our place

On Heaven’s shore, eternal home, beneath your kindly gaze.

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rights in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little-but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me-but let me go

For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone
It’s all part of the masters plan
A step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your thoughts in doing good deeds
Miss me-but let me go

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

Rest in Peace Brother, we have the watch from here.
