Reflections for Deputy Sheriff James Michael Salvino, Jr.

Uncle Sal,

39 is my badge number. Yours was 318. The 1+8 in that = 39. Everyday I know you’re with me no matter what battle I face. I feel your presence everyday. I love you, and thank you for always watching over me.

Jim you were a great friend and someone that really cared about the people around him. We had some great times together and I pray that you are at peace and enjoying what heaven has to offer. Someday when the Browns win the Superbowl or the Indians win the Worl Series, you will be there with me in my memory. Never had a better friend in my life. God Bless you and your family. You will never be forgotten.

10 Years ago, we were gettting ready for bed. We kissed good night, rolled over & fell fast asleep. In my worst nightmares, I never drempt that it would be the last.
I stand now in a beautiful new house, I like to think you would love it too. Planning a wedding! I finally found someone who loves me almost as much as you did. I know you are watching from Heaven, finding all of the "Where's Sal" details. There are many.
I know you are watching God carry through the rest of this month, it is a rough one! I know you have watched Him carry me a lot. And probably wished it was you. I just want you to know as my nightmare begins to unfold this year, like it does every year, I miss you more & more.
I love you my sweetie!

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.
