Amanda,
I will not pretend to know how hard this year has been for you and your family. I do know that I wish you and your children would have never had to experience the loss of James, especially at such a young age. It is obvious that James touched quite a few lives during his time on Earth and continues to do so today. He served his county well, but more importantly, God. For that he is being rewarded right now, with his place in Heaven. It has to be extremely difficult, seemingly impossible to continue life in any "normal" way without such an important part of yours at your side. James is with you, in memory and spirit, please remind yourself of that every chance you can. Lean on God in prayer and His Word and the time you spent with James when every day and it will keep things tolerable.

May God continue to bless you and hold you close to Him.

Deputy Throne, I met your family in Washington D.C. I would like to tell you that you were so blessed to have them as your family. They are some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. I didn't get to know Amanda that well but Josh and Alex are so nice. I am Josh's age and Alex is just a little younger than my sister, Jenn. Your one year anniversery is very soon and I would like to tell you how much you are still loved and missed.

We were at your memorial honoring. It is not easy to lose someone you love so much. Over time the pain lifts some what and the grief lightens a bit but the missing never stops. May God keep Amanda, your children and family in His care as He does all of His children. R.I.P.

God bless you and all who mourn you. May God give them the strength to carry on. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the children: I do not know if you are old enought to read this, but I hope someday you do and are comforted. Your daddy is and always will be a hero. He loves you now and always. May God bless you and give you the strength to survive this.

To the family and friends of Deputy James Throne and the members of the Kern County Sheriff's Office, and most especially to James:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Deputy Throne was tragically killed.

To Deputy Tate's family, especially his wife, children and parents, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service James gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on May 23, 2008

My dearest James,
It will be 3 months soon since God called you to him. It hasn't gotten at all easier like people told me it would. I'm finding all these "firsts" without you excruciating. My first anniversary, Alex's first birthday, Brandon, Alexandra and Joshs first fathers day, Our first move, first day of school, first road trip and in a few weeks on September 6th our first birthday party for you without you. I miss your hugs and the way you'd kiss my forehead before you left. I still wake at night and reach over to your side of the bed to hold you only to find your not there. I am pulling myself together for the kids and our family and trying to give them the life you and I would have given them together. I know that you and God are helping us survive without you. It has gotten us through a lot of tough times in the past 3 months. Thank you baby. Thank you for being so strong for us. I miss you so much.

To those who loved Deputy Throne, my heart goes to you all. Know that you're not alone in this journey you walk. I lost my fiance in the line of duty January 2003 and my world was forever changed. It's been a long hard road, and even as time as gone forward, and I've found many reasons and ways to smile, I still have not forgotten the man that he was. Dennis was a beautiful person and he forever has a part of my heart, just as I'm sure James will always be a part of yours.

It takes a special person to put their lives on the line everyday to make this world a little safer for us all. I know many of these men never would've thought of themselves as "heroes" but they were in so many ways. It's sad that it they had to lose their lives for some of us to see that. Having said that, thank you Deputy Throne for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. I know this isn't a very manly thing to do, but if you happen to run into Dennis up there, please give him a big hug for the kids and I. Dennis was a good man and we miss him more than words can say.

Wishing those who loved you brighter and better days,

I share in the pain of losing someone you love. My prayers are with you in this season of change. I wish I could say it get's better, but the emptiness is always there, but memories are precious. My prayer for you is that you gain a greater insight into the love of God and how precious time is together. May God richly bless you and heal your heart.

I wrote this some time ago, after the death of a family member. It feels right to share it again.

We Sat There Laughing

I remember that time
like so many others
when you and I sat there, laughing
over nothing

and I remember thinking, then, that today was a good day,
happy,
peaceful,
content
and then I blinked,
Once
or maybe twice
and you were gone

and now I sit here, silent
but inwardly raging
over the terrible injustice of losing you

would that I knew that happy day
I could have said something to you
would have said something to you
should have said something to you

I will remember this time
unlike so many others
sitting here, waiting
to feel like I don't miss you, and don't need you here with me

I will sit here
shaking so hard, that my whole body is still
until I don't feel sad
and mad
and bad
and a whole host of things I can't even name.

But you will still be gone
and I will still be here
and I will still have to remember
that time we sat there, laughing

Deputy Throne, I was the one on the radio when your accident happened. I'm so sorry that I never knew you. I'm even more sorry that I will never get to know you. I'm sorry, every day, that I did all I knew to do, and still couldn't change what happened.

James,
It has been three weeks now and for those of us who knew you it is still hard to believe you are gone. It is not the incredible work you did that we miss. It is the person. You made work fun, and Lamont a better place. Thank you so much.

While I never had the pleasure of meeting you in person, I talked to you all the time on the radio and phone. You were always lively and chipper and sounded like you truly enjoyed your job.

I like the rest of our dispatchers always worry about our people in the field. When something happens and it goes "sideways" out there we are all on pins and needles. I like the rest of the department and community grieve your death. You have moved on to a much better place. We will now keep your family and friends in our prayers.

James callsign was Louie2, so I will say Louie2 10-98 (meaning finished with his assignment).

James is gone but will never be forgotten.
