Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Thinking of you and your mom. Today was Matthew’s 20 year EOW date and as I was leaving a letter for him I thought of you and your mom. She has shared her thoughts and love with me for so many years. What amazing sons you were and are and we long for the day we can hold and be held by you all again.

How beautiful heaven must be with you all there. Our hearts are always full of the blessing that you and Don were given to us.

Today is "Ava's" birthday. You never met here. She is 20 today and in her second year of college. Has a great grade point average. We are having pizza for her and she wanted a guitar for her birthday, so we all pitched in and got her one. She loves it. Wish you were here to celebrate. Miss you alot and love you more.

You are never forgotten. The holidays were good this year. Had all the family here except Uncle Pete, he passed away on Thanksgiving morning. Did not expect it so soon. Miss you a lot especially this time of the year. Rock was not here, he is in Idaho, working. At times I have a hard believing you are not here, only for a couple of seconds then the reality sets in. Just missing you a lot. Lord watch over him as he rests. Love you to the moon and back.

Love Mom,

I come here and try to say something and there are no words to express how I feel at this moment. I am OK. But, the memories of that morning are still so vivid in my mind. And it hurts. My Son! I wish this day had never happen but I can't change it so I live with it. I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE TO THE MOON AND BACK! May the angels watch over your grave until Jesus comes.

Dear Lorraine,

Forever Serving,

Forever in our Hearts.

Thinking of You and your precious Don. How can it be 20 years. Whether a day or a year, it is too long to be without their hugs, their laughs, everything that is them. But One Day..... oh to see them again!!! We were so blessed to have them and be their Mom.

Much Love,
Linda

Before you left us, you ‘rescued’ me from a terrible situation. I had never forgotten who you were and how you helped me. Four years later, and on my birthday - September 6 - as I watched the evening news, I learned what happened to you, and my heart was so saddened. I will never forget you, and will always be thankful for your service and how you made a positive impact to others.

It is over! No more court appearances, do not have to look at his face again. Some think that he got off easy. But that is ok. It is over! There will never be closure. You can't have closure because you are not here. I will love and miss you till the day I die!❤

Rest in peace Deputy Sheriff Bond. A real hero! Shooting a man nine times and stealing his vest?This world is surely a mean and ugly place at times to live and thrive.

I have thought of you and your Mom all week, so sorry I didn't post on the actual day, and then I got on Matt's page this morning and there your Mom was thinking of us. My heart understands your Mom's words completely. We could have told you a million times how much we love, loved, you.....and we did, but oh to be able to tell you that again to your beautiful faces. What precious, wonderful sons you were.

Thinking of you and your Mom with love.
