Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

~~~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~~

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free, so won't you take my hand and share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.

Dom,
I see your face everyday. Your picture sits on my bookcase. It's hard to believe it will be 5 years. They say time heals all wounds, but for who? I know your family, wife and friends still grieve for you. You were a true friend to everyone. You will always be missed.

Four years ago, 6 days after your untimely death our son, Liam was born. His birth was bitter sweet since he came to us the day after your funeral. We weren’t expecting him for another whole month, however, I felt then as I do now that you had a hand in that premature delivery. I can only imagine that being your way of redirecting our emotions of sadness to feelings of awe & wonder at the miracle of life. With the blessing of your mom, dad & Erik we named our son, Liam Domenick

Liam is now 4 and beginning to ask lots of questions about lots of different things. Just recently he asked what his full name was and we were proud to tell him. We placed the name with your face when we pointed him to one of the best pictures we have of you & Brian dressed to the T at Rudo’s wedding, a picture he’s passed a million times before. Upon seeing that picture his smile was one you’d love to see.

Our Liam Domenick, (Little Dog, L.D. nicknames dubbed by your dad & Erik) is developing a character very much like yours I believe. At his pre-school, he’s the mayor, there isn’t anyone our little man doesn’t know? He’s got a bigger than life aura about him. His Irish side’s big heart, good-humored traits mixed with his P.R. wild child, full of life personality is so alike yours.

I know his birth came at a time that eased our loss & helped Brian, your childhood friend, bear your absence these last few years. Thank you. Our hearts still ache, your presence is sorely missed. We take comfort in the belief that we are living our lives the way you would have wanted us to.

When you were here with us you protected and served & now duty calls again to watch over little Michael who’s just recently joined you up there. We fully believe he’s with you and are confident you will guide him.

We’ll be seeing you.

Reckless manslaughter? Officer Infantes was murdered! Who was the bleeding heart on the jury that decided reckless manslaughter? This is a tragedy. Why was reckless manslaughter even considered? Officer Infantes died a hero. He embodies the act of "no greater love".

Time makes things easier or so they say. I wish that were true for a man I adore and love so much. Dom, your spirit lives on so much in Erik. I never met you but I too feel like a piece is missing every time I am at your house and we are laughing or joking around. Even during our happiest moments I can still see that pain in Erik's eyes..Know that you are not forgotten.

I had no ambition in this world but one,
and that was to be a police officer.
The position in the eyes of some, may appear to be a lowly one, but we who know the work which a police officer has to do believe that it is a noble calling.
Our proudest moment is to save lives...
Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring,
even supreme sacrifice. Domenick i never got the honor to meet you, but now I work in your district alongside the men and women you served with. What you started I will finish so that our unity will serve both as an example and a warning to those that doubt our resolve. The watch is now mine.

I know your life on Earth was troubled,
and only you could know the pain.
You weren't afraid to face the Devil.
You were no stranger to the rain.

So go rest high on that mountain.
Son, your work on Earth is done.
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son.

Oh, how we cried the day you left us.
We gathered 'round your grave to grieve.
Wish I could hear the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing.

So go rest high on that mountain.
Son, your work on Earth is done.
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son.

I just boggles my mind that a jury of 12 could let the two mutts that killed this fine Officer go free.

Rest in peace, you will always be a HERO!

I saw the verdict of the two cowards. You were the embodiment of what a police officer should be. You are a true hero. We know that you put your life ahead of others. When the time comes those two will meet the fate that they deserve.
God Bless PO Infantes
You will not be forgotten.

Dom will never be forgotten, every time a Jersey Police Officer puts on that uniform, he lives on. I can't help but think how I feel when I attend a police funeral or the memorial wall in Washington and see how many JCPD plaques there are and I look over at my own two sons wearing the JCPD uniform. I am so proud and yet so worried that they will come in harms way. I pray Dom that they honor that uniforn as you did. Everyone is so proud of you. God Bless!
