Thank you for helping me find the spare keys! I know you are still with me because there is no way I would have found them on my own! Missing you everyday.

Bubby,
Thanksgiving's coming up and its just as hard as last year. After a year the pains still the same. Its unbelievable that your not here with me. How I could use a joke and a smile right about now. What I would give for a giant bear hug. I miss you more and more with each passing day. Why it had to be you, I will never know. I just have to live with the heartbreak every day. Now the pains so much worse and noone knows what I have to go through. I miss you more and more each day. I love you bigger than the sky. best buddies. forever and always. love, sissy

That is one thing we always shared together. Yes just like always I had a few missques,and I could see you laughing, I will never let go of that jacet. I love you Charlie I think of you and miss you every day.

Charlie,
As the holidays get closer I think of you. I didn't think I would ever get over Mom's death. After 23 years I have to say it is easier. But Charlie, you and Joe are like my babies. We have always had a very special bond. Looking at your wedding picture the other day, I simply could not believe that you are really gone. It's still so hard to accept. I don't think I can ever accept this. As I have said a hundred times, next time we meet we will never have to say good bye again. I thank God for that every day. Love you Charlie, more than you can ever imagine.

I am coming out to D.C. with Renee in May to see your name on the wall and to experience police week. I am really excited to see everything. When Renee asked me if I wanted to come out with her, I did not even have to think about it. I know it will be amazing.

Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
'Round that Jersey Turnpike
When Barney stopped me with his gun
Ten minutes after midnight
Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty ol' truck
I don't know about that accent son
Just where do you come from

I said where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Well I was south of Detroit City
I pulled in this country kitchen
To try their brand of barbecue
The sign said finger-lickin'
Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me
How'd I like my biscuit
I'll be honest with you ma'am
It ain't like mama fixed it

'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

I was chasin' sun on 101
Somewhere around Ventura
I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger
This tall lady stopped and asked
If I had plans for dinner
Said no thanks ma'am, back home
We like the girls that sing soprano

'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Well I was headed home on 65
Somewhere around Kentucky
The CB rang for a bobtail rig
That's rollin' on like thunder
Well I answered him and he asked me
Aren't you from out in Tulsa
No, but you might have seen me there
I just dropped a load of salsa

Where I come from it's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta back porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
A lotta front porch sitting
Starin' up at heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Tryin' to make a livin'
Tryin' to make a livin'
Oh, where I come from
Where I come from
Yeah, where I come from
Get back down there sometime
Where I come from

Remember jammin to this song. We loved it. Still missing you. Always my hero. LOVE YOU BIGGER THAN THE SKY. best buddies forever and always. love, Sissy

Oh, how I love you
And I always will
Forever and ever
Till times standing still
Know that your with me
Like the air that I breathe
I'll be beside you
And fight for your dreams

Cause you are my everything
Everything I am because of you
You are my sunshine, my wind and my rain
You are my everything

All of my sorrow has been washed away
All my tomorrows are with you today
Someone would ask me
Son, what is your dream
I'd show them your picture
And smile at a dream

Cause you are my everything
Everything I am because of you
You are my sunshine, my wind and my rain
You are my everything
You are my everything
You are my everything
My everything
-Billy Ray Cyrus, "My Everything"

Remember listenin to this song on the radio? I sure do. I miss you more and more with each passing day. They all lied when they said it would get easier with time. I need you now. Please help me. I Love You Bigger than the Sky. Best Buddies Forever and Always. Love, Sissy

Bubby,
I miss you so badly, the pain never ends. I'm having an extra hard time right now, and you know why. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so lost and empty. I just wish I could come up there with you guys and be happy again. I miss all the fun times. Theres none of those anymore, just tears. Why do I have to keep losing the people I care the most about? Please help me. I LOVE YOU BIGGER THAN THE SKY. Best Buddies. FOREVER AND ALWAYS. Love, Sissy

I have a new job now and I think you would be proud of me in a small way I feel that I can honor it in it. I miss you everyday and think of you often, I dont understand how some people can just move on like nothing happend,like you dont matter anymore,for some its like your just a memory and in the past.Its not that way for me, I never knew I could hurt so deeply for so long, I just feel sick inside I Wont someone to wake me up and tell me this is all just a bad dream. I wont forget you Charlie,I Wont so called move on and act like you dont matter anymore,you and Joe are on my mind and in my heart every time I answer a call.I love you Charlie, and I Will do my best to honor you and joe and you will never be forgotten by me or my family love you bud.

Charlie

I never got to say my true good bye .
The last time I talked to you was two years ago at the family reunion all we said was HI. Who know two weeks later you would be gone. I was so messed up after I found out I never know how much family the word family meant until you left us. A good six months had passed and I was still stuck on your death. Until one night I had a dream and you were in it your wife, son, brother everyone it was like it was at the family reunion you didn’t look so good .I’m guessing it was you after the wreck .You were so Happy
It wasn’t a scary dream it was like you were trying to tell me its ok I felt peaceful after that. I want to THANKYOU
For that . At the end of Sept. the 28 to be exact I was at work I got to see the sun rise for the first time I feel you put in the dinning room that day so I could see that it was beautiful . I felt at peace all that day. I want to say THANKYOU for that too.
I would love to see your new sign they put up for you maybe someday I will get to see it.
Charlie I MISS YOU.

Hello old friend,
Oh yes you know
I lost my broher a while ago.
No, no please
Don’t look away
And change the subject
It’s ok.
You see at first I couldn’t feel,
It took so long, but now it’s real.
I hurt so much inside you see
I need to talk,
Come sit with me?
You see, I was numb for so very long,
And people said, “My, She is so strong.”
They did not know I couldn’t feel,
My broken heart made all unreal.
But then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest, began to choke,
Such a scream, such a wail,
Broke from me..
My bubby! My bubby!
The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on, you see,
everyone except for me.
Now, when I need friends most of all,
Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bear,
When I mention my brother,
I see their blank stare.
“But I thought you were over it,”
Their eyes seem to say,
No, no, I can’t listen to this, not today.
So I smile and pretend, and say, “Oh, I’m ok”.
But inside I am crying, as I turn away.
And so my old friend, I shall paint on a smile,
As I have from the start,
You never knowing all the while,
All I’ve just said to you in my heart.

I miss you so badly, what I would give to have you here with me. I LOVE YOU BIGGER THAN THE SKY. best buddies, forever and ever. #1. Love, Sissy

We knew this person
as loved one and friend,
giving service;
walking tall until the end.

Honor their memory
with sweet tender thoughts,
and keep a warm place
for them in your hearts.

Our brothers and sisters
laid to rest,
in hallowed ground
who gave their best.

To the God of Love
this fallen- yet rising star,
receive into thy kingdom
yonder afar.

A crown of jewels
they fought the good fight,
giving their life
every day and night

Do you hear the voice
a beautiful sight,
an angel beckoning
go to the light…

Miss you everyday Charlie, <3
