Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Ricky

It was one year ago today, we learned of the horrible loss Dekalb County PD, yours and Eric's family, and community experienced. Jim and I immediately went with Ray Dearcop from RPD to your Mother's house to pay our respects and support. Jim and I then started contacting local Law Enforcement to help with the funeral since it was up here in Rochester.You were well recognized up here as if you were protecting us up here. We recognized you and Eric at our Candle Vigil this past December. In fact four of your Honor Guard came up to help us honor the two of you. Your family has become very involved with our Chapter and we will always be there for them. We will never forget you.

One year ago today, my friend, fellow militay comrade and fellow officer, lost his life doing what he loved. Ricky, your care, devotion and dedication will remain in the thoughts and mind of all of us you have touched. Your spirit shall live on. I am honored that you were someone, I had the priviledge of knowing.

To the Bryant family, always remember this famous but all so true quote "It is not how this officer died that made him a hero, it is how he lived"

Brother Bryant,
My heart and prayers go out to your loved ones, family, friends, and those close to you. I wish we could of kept in touch over the years. Who would of thought that we would both become Police Officers???? I know the topic came up in conversations but for some reason the topic changed. I guess we just wanted to hear someone admit that they wanted to become a police officer before we said anything. But we did take that oath and you performed your duties to the highest level there is. We are all proud of you and I am honored to have served with you. We got your beat in hell covered brother.......God needs you in his beat now.

Hey Smiley, I just moved to Georgia and just being here brings back so many memories of you. I remember when you were a baby and then you grew into a handsome young man still smiling making everyone smile around you. Life sometimes make you wonder about many things but just remember tomorrow is not promised and yesturday is gone, today is the day i thought about you and wanted to sing you a song. I saw your mom before I left she was at my party truly being blessed. She talked about you for a minute or two she didn't want my night to become blue.She gave me that smile the one you use to give out all the time. I love you Ricky and I am glad that everytime I saw you I had th priviledge to tell you. Although I can't touch you I know you can hear me. I luv you CUZ!
