Somethings change your forever- when I was only 24 years old I was a bailiff on the trial that sentenced Officer Toney's killer to death. I remember like it was yesterday listening to the closing arguments on this case- Scott Newman argued how there are givers and takers in this world- and highlighted all the ways that Bill Toney gave to his family, to his community, to the world- and even in his death he gave something to me- He inspired me to go to law school and to become a prosecutor myself- and today- I would like to thank him for this giving.

Bill,
It does not seem like 13 years have passed since our Academy days. Your friendship is one of my best memories from those days.
I still remember the night I got the call telling me you were gone. It will be one of the worst nights of my career.
I am teaching a class at the SWILEA this morning and I will talk about the bonds forged during the initial months and years of the recruits careers. I will mention you specifically and how quickly you were taken from us. Your memory will live on through those that you touched. Please continue to be the the Gaurdian Angel of 98-134.

Started thinking about you today, about how we all looked forward to your jokes every morning before chow. Only a couple years out of the academy, you really made me re-think if this was the right career for me, and now I'm only 6 years from being able to retire! Keep watching over 98-134 Bill.

I have 1500 songs on my ipod. I hit shuffle on my way to work today. First song - "Tupac" Very funny I thought to myself. I hit shuffle again - "Henry Lee Summer" - Do I dare hit shuffle again? Of course I do - "Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love?". I am, by this time, shaking. Bill drew the Van Halen symbol on every folder he carried in high school. This song blared on the tape deck in the Fairlane the spring of my junior year every day. I normally don't believe in these type of "visits" but after this morning - I have to believe that Bill was there telling me hi. I think he was also telling me how proud he is of Jessica and Emily. I know he sees Jess playing volleyball and basketball and will watch her go to her first homecoming dance this weekend. He's watching Emily cheer and hit the softball to the fence and laughing every time she says something funny. I'm sure he's returned to his heavenly beach where he's peacefully sitting with his dad and brother and listening to Buffett.

Merry Christmas fellas! For once in the last how many years, I am happy. Things are going great. I will still of course miss you guys being here for Christmas, but for the first time I am more than ok with it. God has worked SO hard with me the past few weeks to except things as they are. I am more then ok with things now. I understand more so now how things work... in a sense. But I still carry you guys with me every where I go, as I will continue to do. God has blessed with with the best daughter that I could possibly ask for. And also the best mom, grandma,sister,and Shawna as well.(As you know). God is the answer to EVERYTHING...NO DOUBTS!! Sure I'll still miss and I will continue to miss yours, Todds, and my Christmis Eve getaways.. ;), but I'm good with it now. I love you and miss you guys!! Merry Christmas!! I know you guys are more then well off in Heaven... But can not even imagine how amazing and no words for how it is there. Peace Bros...

Ten years. I still remember that night, the next morning, and the long days that followed. There were times when I thougt I would never feel complete again.I know that Bill would be proud of the girls and me. Jessica and Emily are the most loving, respectful, responsible, and wonderful daughters any parent could want. I look at Ryan and our little boy Rylan every day and realize that these blessing were given to me and the girls so I would feel complete once again. I have been dealt a tragedy, it's true, but it did not win. I am a better person today: stronger, more compassionate, and more appreciative of life's every day rewards. However, I will never forget.

Ten years. . . I still remember that night, the next morning, and the long days that followed. So much has happened in the last ten years. I know Bill would be proud of the girls and me. The girls are the most respectful, responible, loving, and caring daughters that any parent could ever ask for. They are starting to ask more questions about their "Daddy Bill" and Ryan and I are both right there to answer. I look at Ryan and my little boy Rylan every day and realize that these two blessing in my life were given to me to make my life complete once again. I have been handed a tragedy it's true, but it did not win. I am a stronger person, better mom, and more compassionate person because of it. However, I will never forget.
