Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Moody,

I never met you or knew you but in reading about you and the clear impact you made on your community is nothing short of inspirational.

Your loss is deeply felt even in surrounding communities. You gave your life attempting to help a fellow officer and there is nothing more noble than that.

God bless you and your wonderful family and may your memory turn tears into smiles for years to come.

Kids...your Daddy is a Hero, you should be extremely proud of him and what he stands for. Please know you are in our prayers and people in the community care about you!

Kindest,

First and foremost I want to express my deepest condolences to the family and co-workers of Officer Moody. I am a Detective in a small town in NJ and I have the honor of riding this year Police Unity Tour in honor of Officer Moody. The Police Unity tour is a bicycle ride from NJ to DC during Police week and each participant rides for an Officer. I feel privileged to ride for Officer Moody this year. I have a call into the PD and also want to let his family and friends know we will honor him during Police week in Washington, DC. I hope to meet some of you there at the memorial in May.

Your smile and easy going attitude is what I miss most these days. I still cant believe you are gone...its not fair that we move forward without you. I miss c7 and silly car to car chats with you. You were a driving presence at RPD and I will never let people forget about you and your dedication to this profession. Keep an eye on us and send more signs that you are still with us on the beat...

Four months today...
Bradley Alan—I cant believe that it has been four months since I last talked to you, held you, kissed you, felt your warm hand on me….looked into your eyes!! I miss you so much, I cant even begin to tell you. I have thought about you every second of every day for the last four months! Our little daughters have grown up so much in the last four months—I just hurt so much that you cant watch them grow into little girls!!!!!

I had a dream this morning and you were there….but it wasn’t like you were here to stay. You told me that you couldn’t stay long…you just wanted to come see me. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I told you that I wanted to take tons of pictures so that people would believe me that you came back. You just laughed at me and said that nothing has changed with me taking pictures (he would always give me a hard time cause I took a million pictures all the time!!!). I remember asking you tons of questions… I asked you what happened in the car that day. You told me that you were just going too fast and you knew that you needed to slow down but it was too late. I asked you what you were thinking and you said that you were thinking that you knew that you were going to die. I just started crying—and you just held me for the longest time. I told you that I keep saying that I wish that I could have one more minute with you so that I could kiss you one more time. You started crying and you kissed me. I told you that you were being honored in a way that you deserve---I said that the funeral was nice, and that you got all the bells and whistles!!! I told you that there was a webpage made that people could come and write things to you, and condolences to the family. We got on the computer and I started to show you and you said that you just cant read it because it’s too sad…but you looked at the pictures with tears in your eyes. It was weird, because there were people around…but they weren’t reacting to the fact that you were here—it was like they couldn’t see you. You then started typing something to me (I think it was about the finances cause I saw tons of numbers…so that it would help get things together for me), and you said that it was something you should have done before you died. You told me that I could read it when I was alone. I never got to open it up, because the girls woke up….

Baby, the dream was sooo real...I woke up and it was 750 AM on the 4th. Almost exactly four months of the time you crashed. I am crying my eyes out typing this… I thank you so very much for coming to me and visiting me…. I just wish that it would happen in real life. I wish soooooooooooo badly that I could hold you and kiss you again…. And look into your beautiful eyes again. But, I know that this is all I have to hold on to. I know that this is the only way that I am going to “be” with you—and it just hurts on a level that I cant even describe!!! I miss you so very much!!! I love you with all my heart!!!

Still can't believe your gone brother. Looking at your picture made me remember when we were working the parolee sweeps together and that parolee at large dumped a loaded gun and dope on us. We had like 8 cops jump on that dude, he had no chance. You were one of the best at RPD brother and your legacy will continue to live on. Rest Easy, we got everything from here.

Bradley... As the days pass, my pain grows more and more! I miss you so very much! I look at our little daughters and hurt for them so much, knowing that they will never have a chance to know you. Three and a half months have passed since you have left us, and it just still doesnt feel real. I just can't believe that your gone. I wish that I was able to say goodbye to you! There isnt a second in the day that I dont think about you. I love you with all my heart!!!!

Well Bradley, its January 1st 2009! I thought that in some way a burden would be lifted off of my shoulders once 2008 was over with, but I was wrong. As much as I am glad that the worst year of my life isn’t here anymore…a new sense of sadness has surrounded me. I realize that 2008 will be the worst ever that I will ever live, but at least I had 10 months of wonderful memories with you. I know now that 2009 will be the first year that I will not be able to make any new memories with you…and that just brings me to a whole new level of sadness!!!! We planned on bringing the girls to the snow for the first time in January…you won’t get to see their faces the first time they touch the snow! You won’t be here for Emma’s 2nd birthday party in February…which I am not sure how I am going to get through without you here!!! But I decided to have a ladybug party…so in some way, you will be here with us!!! Then what about Easter…and the Peep eating contest??? And then of course how am I ever going to make it through May 1st??? That was the best day of my life, when you made me your wife! Then comes June—where we were going to turn 30 together!!! Now I have to embrace this new age alone!! You were the one that kept telling me that 30 was going to be okay, and that we were just “growing old together”!!! Then Maddy turning four in August—she already told me that she wants to have a princess party…and she wants her daddy to be there as her prince!!!! I know that there are going to be many more memories that I am going to have to make without you…and that just makes me so sad!!!
I heard a song last night for the first time by Jessica Andrews, it’s called Never be Forgotten. It really made me smile, and the same time—I balled my eyes out--- Baby here are some of the words…

I’ll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than just a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

I can’t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But if hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the starts
I look up tonight and know just where you are
And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone….

These words just keep repeating themselves in my head. They mean so much!!! There hasn’t been a second in everyday in these past 3 horrible months that I haven’t thought about you, cried my eyes out…. Or even begged that this would all just go away and that you would still be here with us. Life just really isn’t fair. I keep saying that I’m not sure how I am going to live without you—it’s only been three months, and I miss you sooooo very much!!!! I will always love you Bradley Alan…Forever and always…you will be forever in my heart!!!!!!

Bradley--wow!!! It's over, Christmas has come and gone in a matter of a blink of an eye!! Thank god! I dont know how I made it through without you. I cried non stop pretty much for the two days. It was sooo hard seeing our babies open their presents without you here with us!!! This all still feels soooo surreal!!!I dont want to accept this that your gone...but I have no choice!! This has got to be the worst thing anyone could ever go through, hands down!! Im sooo very sad--I miss you Bradley Alan!!!! I love you with all my heart---XOXOXO

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM HEAVEN

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love

on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way

I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

Okay....So, last night babe, Maddy said the unthinkable!!!! Tracy stopped by to visit us with his daughters, who are 16 and 14. Maddy and Emma just loved them all--and of course they showed off for them the whole time they were here. It was too funny! When they left, Maddy said to me...."mommy where is my friends (refering to Tracys daughters) daddy going?" Before I could answer her...she said "Is he going to go be with my daddy in the stars?" I tried to hold it together and told her crying "No, sweetie...he is going home to go to sleep with his girls". She then says...."Well then why can't my daddy come here and sleep with us?" Bradley--I just lost it...and even writting it on here I am losing it!!! I didnt even know what to say to her... I just grabbed her and held her for the longest time, crying! I mean, really--how do I answer that question babe???? This is just so hard!!! We all miss you so very much, and it's just getting harder and harder as the days go by!! Then I had a dream last night that you were really gone, but then I just prayed and wished and hoped that you just come back... and you did!!! You were back here, playing with the girls, holding my hand--laughing it was soo nice!!! But when I woke up I was realzied I was crying in my sleep--and then I knew, it was just a dream!!! God, what I would do to have you back...even just for a second to hold you and kiss you!!! I miss you more than I can even say baby! This is just so alll unfair!!!! Life is just unfair.....

Oh Bradley....The days are getting harder!!! Today is December 14th...and as the holidays get closer, it's hitting me that your really gone! I went shopping today for the girls, and I just couldnt do it!! I cried the whole time I was gone...I just dont know how to do this without you!! So tomorrow is your partents 35th wedding anniversary..Remember calling them on their 31st??? When we sang to them, and I said that I hope that you and I make it to 31 years??? Well--your mom kept that message (4 years later), and i just listened to it. I balled my eyes out, as I realized that that isnt going to happen for us now!!! How unfair life is!!! How unfair that you were ripped away from me so soon!!!! I really would do anything to get you back!!! I love you baby with all my heart!!!!! Please send me some strength to do this--to live life without you!!!! I dont know what else to do, but to beg you to send me the strength Bradley!!! I need that more than you ever would know!!!!!Love you!

Well babe it’s December 10th—I did it! I brought the girls down to Disneyland!!! It was rough and I pretty much cried the entire time we were down there. It was really tough seeing all the happy families, and the little girls playing with their daddy’s. It broke my heart when Maddy would look at them and just put her head down. But we did it, and we managed to have some sort of fun. Bradley, the three of us miss you so very much. After I put the girls down tonight---I broke down….for a long time. I keep telling myself that I don’t know how I’m going to do this without you. You were the rock of this family---and now you’re gone….forever. I can’t seem to grasp the forever thing. I woke up this morning telling myself that I was going to have a good day---and it turned out being one of the worst!!! I miss you so much Bradley!!!! I love you!

Hey there baby...Its been two months since you've been gone. I can't believe it. I miss you so much--I feel so very lost without you!!! Today started out good though. I set the alarm clock to the ipod last night to start on the first song. But, when I woke up---I woke up to "you had me from hello" ...which was song 111! Thank you for playing our song this morning!!! I felt like you were there waking me up!!! God Brad, I just dont know how I'm gonna do this without you!!!! Lopez, Lonzo and Palma came up today and spent the entire day decorating for Christmas. We even went to the tree farm and they cut a tree down for us!!! The house looks good!! I just know you would be proud!!! Babe, I am so thankful to everyone that is helping me, supporting me, loving me and really being there for me and our daughters!!! I seriously cant thank everyone enough!!! I love you Bradley!!!! With all my heart!!!

Bradley,
So—tonight after dinner…the girls were playing in the front room and I was in the hallway painting. Emma was looking at the big pictures of you that they had at your funeral. I heard Maddy talking to Emma and she said—“Sissy, you be careful with those pictures so you don’t mess them up!” Then a couple minutes later Maddy asked Emma…” do you miss daddy?” Emma said “yes”….then Maddy said, “I know sissy…mommy and I miss him too—but he’s in your heart sissy—okay?” WOW!!! I literally sat in the hallway for 10 minutes balling my eyes out!!! It breaks my heart, but at the same I was comforted that Madison was trying to comfort her baby sister!!! We’ve got the most loving daughters babe!!! They miss you and love you so very much!!! I would give anything to have you back here with us!!! I love you Bradley with all my heart!!!!

I learned of Bradleys passing from a Rhcmond officer who asked for a photo of one of our K9 sqds with his K27 number on it. I would be honored to send the picture. Words can not express the loss to family and friends, but the world is a better place for Bradleys service and the lives he touched.

Today was the 1st annual Bradley Moody Glock Match! It was awesome babe!!! There were over 200 shooters, including myself- I shot the entire match! You would’ve been proud of me, I shot with a Glock—and I was hitting the targets really well!!! Chris, Karen and Aaron Tallerico and Mike Rood totally busted their butts on getting this put together. It was amazing!!! Then they had a raffle after the Match—where tons of places donated guns, tvs, movie tickets, and tons of other cool prizes. Chris Llamas won half of the stuff…it was pretty funny!!! The day was just a great success Bradley! All the proceeds are going towards Maddy and Emma! They are going to be set for college in no time babe!!! Damn it, I just wish you were here!!! Its just not fair that your gone! I don’t understand it at all!!! I would do anything to get you back Bradley!!! The coolest thing though, Michelle said a lady bug flew in the house, and then 10 minutes after she told us, a lady bug was found in the club house at the Rod and Gun club---that right there is amazing!! I miss you baby!!!

So, today was tough Bradley! For us all. We all gathered at Mom and Dads. We all shared stories about you--laughed a little, but cried a lot!!! You are so missed babe!!!! The holidays are going to be rough!! I just still cant believe your gone---I wish you were here!! I love you with all my heart! Our game was today! We should've been in Dallas baby--on the 50 yard line! I cried pretty much the whole game! Even though my boys beat yours...I cried a lot! I just kept thinking that we were supposed to be at that game--just me and you!!! I hope your doing okay! I miss you....more than you know!!! Happy thanksgiving babe!
