Shelby,
Words can't describe the jolt when I realized you were gone... We have had some great times and lots of laughs, even through some hurtful tears, I was still glad and lived with no regret of our shared memories.. I think about you everyday and I have only one regret concerning you.. but now you know and you watch over us from above... You taught me alot of things in life, from traffic stops to the proper way to fly off a trampoline and roll on the ground like a cat..:)
miss you like no other....

Sometimes, somedays I feel like I just need to say hi. I don't know what made me think of this the other day, but remember when we met in Fort Smith? I remember exactly what I had on that night...silly I know, but for some reason it's a very vivid memory of mine. I have lots of memories that I will always cherish. "Strawberry Wine" :-).
I still can't believe you're gone, and I wish that it would have turned out differently.
Good-bye Friend,
Lacy

Shelby,
I realized yesterday you had been gone for 7 years. I really still can't believe it. I think about you alot-especially everytime I drive by that place you used to work here in Tulsa. :-) I miss you. I wish we could talk. There was so much I wanted to talk to you about, and there was that one thing I wanted to ask you. But, you let me know the answer to that didn't you?
Forever Friends~

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Sergeant Blackfox and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Sergeant Blackfox has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family and friends of Sergeant Blackfox, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Sergeant Blackfox is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
