I love you so much daddy! A day doesn’t go by I don’t think about you and how much I can’t wait to see you. Today is always an extra hard day of missing you. Me and minda will always keep your memory alive. Always my hero!

It’s hard to believe it’s been over 22 years. After 13 years of working in law enforcement there is not a day that goes by that I’m not reminded of you. I still keep a picture of you on my desk. Those long days when I’m at my wits’ end and I start to question my career path, I look at that picture for motivation. You embodied every thing a police officer should strive to be. There’s been so many times when I could feel your presence. I’ve been on the range all day training these young officers and as you would say, “it’s hotter than all get out” but just the thought of you pushes me through. I love brother. See you when I get there.

Hey guardian angel,

Thinking of you yesterday and today! Thinking about this past 24 hours 22 years ago, where I was, who called me, the story told of what happened, and so on. Some days it’s seems as you’ve been gone forever but then days like this past 24 hours, it feels like it’s still a blur, reliving every hour. Minda is back home and so funny how God and you planned that around this time. Allie is graduating from college next week. Mom and dad are doing good and keeping busy with the grandkids. Keep taking care of all of us!! And keep a seat saved for me. Love you always,

Dad,

20 years.......It never gets easier not having you here and what I would give to just spend one minute with you. There isn’t a day you don’t cross my mind, and I’m so proud you’re the dad I was given. You will always be my hero! I can’t wait to spend eternity with you.

Love your daughter

Michael,

It's hard to believe that it has been 18 years since we lost you. I keep a picture of you and Tossy on my desk. Although it's hard to look at everyday, it reminds me of why I chose this profession. Your my hero brother and I'll never forget you. Although I wish you here, I know we'll be together again one day. Until then keep watching over me. Tell Ma Bush to have me a big glass of sweat tea ready and tell Pa to make some room for me on that wooden swing. I love you !

Daddy,
I really miss you. I missed you walking me down the aisle, I missed you on all my graduation days, I missed you at the birth of your grandson. I know your watching over me though. I know your watching over Baby Michael to. I'm so glad he was born on your birthday. I know how much you would love him. I sing our lullaby to him every time I put him to bed. He will always know about you and mom and I will raise him like you would want. I took care of Allie and mom for you
I love you

Michael,

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Just like you, my day starts early in the morning. I think of you as I lace up my boots, strap on my vest, zip my uniform shirt up and place this gun on my side. I wish you were here Michael. I know you'd be proud of me and the profession I chose. You'll never realize what an impact you had on my life. I am so honored to know that I share the same profession as you and the many others who gave their lives to keep their communities safe. I love you brother and I'll never forget you.

Dear Daddy,
Especially thinking about you tonight ,and wishing I could have been able to see and remember you, but I know you and mom are looking down on the family! Not a day goes by I don't think about you. I don't know what I would do without Panancy and PaJohnny who have taken such good care of me after mom passed away. I'm beyond blessed to be told I'm like you after all the wonderful things And stories I have heard about you. You touched a lot of people's lives and I can't wait to see you again.
Love,
Your daughter Allie XOXO

Michael,

I did not even know this site site existed. I promise there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. There is always something that comes up or something I am around that makes me always think of you. I so miss you so much. I am so lonely without having you although we fought all the time. LOL!!. I so wanted you to know my children and especially my husband, Darian. Gosh, I could not have picked anyone more like you. There are times that I am with people often that I talk about you and they can remember the day of your passing without me even telling them anything about you and they know your story.I have just taken a job in a trauma dept for you and your dreams. I know you always loved your work and wanted so much more but God had such a better plan for you. I remember you daily and love you always. I hope your looking down at me and proud of everything I done. Love, Love, love you!!!

Your best sis,

Mary Beth

Officer Richardson, today marks the 10th anniversary of your tragic death. You gave your all to the traveling public who expect to be able to go from place to place without a care in the world beyond being late for a flight. It’s thanks to you and the women and men like you that airports as safe as they are. Of course they’re a city within a city and prone to the same problems that anywhere else is, it’s the dedication of Airport Police Departments and similar safety agencies that put the public more at ease. Thanks to you, if a situation comes up, we know dedicated professionals will be on hand to deal with it. For that sense of well-being, I thank you.

It’s especially sad that, with so few Airport Police Officers listed here (for which I thank God) there are two on the same date, a mere 6 years apart. This reflection also goes out to Officer Tommy Edward Scott of the Los Angeles World Airports Police who also died in a Vehicular Accident in 2005.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brothers.

Michael,

We are quickly approaching the tenth anniversary of your death. I know that you are at peace. I just wish that you could see what wonderful young ladies your daughters have grown to be. The oldest is a honor student and in the band. The younger looks and acts just like you. She plays basketball and loves animals. She wants to follow in your footsteps and work with animals. They both display the same honorable goals that you had. They have also both made peace with our Lord so know that we will all be together in heaven. Even though our lives have moved on, we still talk and think of you each day. Thier young lives are a memorial to what you left behind every day.

Michael...
Today I thought of you and your friendship. I miss having you around to talk to. I know that you are up in heaven watching over your family and friends...but at times, it sure would be nice to have you to talk to.
I know one day our paths will meet again in heaven and that will always bring me inner peace.
I will never forget you, your patience, your love for your family, but most of all, who you were.
