Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am unable to put into words how much Brian meant to me.  To say he was an outstanding police officer is an understatement.  Brian gave 100% to his fellow police officers 100% of the time.  Brian was my partner, my friend and my mentor.  I valued his advice and now I will cherish his memory.  Worcester County has forever been changed by his passing.

Today the space shuttle burned up and 7 were gone in a moment. We never know what a day holds. And the grieving process is a LONG,LONG one. May God continue to comfort all those who mourn and
who need an arm around them. Know that you are remembered and being thought of today.

It has been almost 2 years now since you have been gone Brian....We still fondly recall our times together and I can still hear your laugh. I drive by the site everyday almost and each time, I still cannot believe that this is a reality. I still grieve for Laura and April. I was raised without my dad who died on 03-13-78 in a single vehicle accident. I can feel their pain and we are saddened about the times that will be missed.......always look over us brother.

My daughter Laura and I returned from COP's Kids camp recently. It saddened me to see all the children that have lost a parent. Hopefully it helped Laura to be able to have other children that are going through the same situation. We like to read the reflections, it helps her to know that there are people that remember and care about her father and his family. His birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and after last year, we know that it will be a difficult day for us, he will be watching as Laura sends him his balloons in heaven.

It is a comfort to Brian's family, especially his daughters to know that he will not be forgotten. It is still hard to comprehend that he is gone, my daughter Laura, who is ten, was putting together a memory book about her father tonight. We are going to the COP's Kid Camp next week. In looking at all the pictures it saddens me to think of all the years Brian will miss, especially the girls growing up, but I know he is watching over all of us. Thank you to everyone for your support during the past year. Connie Heller and Family

To officer Hellers friends and family, this is surely a difficult one, and a time that seems endless, but time will heal, your grief will be replaced with the good memories of this fine man, and through his untimely passing, please remember, the time he served, the people he helped, that is what his life was about, you all take that with you everyday, whether to school, or onto the next watch, he lives thru you all.

Deputy Heller, thank you sir, you served with valor, and those in your community will never forget. Be at peace...

Brian, It has now been a little over a year since your passing. We still cannot believe that you are gone. I stopped by the memorial site the other day and read a card that your mom left for you and a card that Laura left for you also, The pain and grief was strong in their words. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers Brian.....
