Reflections for Military Police Officer James Thomas Sakofsky
Gwyneth,
I did not serve with your father. I was one of three boys in the nursing assistant class in east Brunswick vo tech. Your father was one of the other three. Benjamin sebban was the other look him up when you can. Of the three of us I’m the only one left. Your dad was an amazing guy. His humor and laughter was infectious. I’m sure he would’ve loved you with ever bone in his body. Your dad loved his country and loved being army he used to make fun of me joining the navy but it was all in good fun. I miss him every day and wish you could’ve met him. I’m so sorry for your loss and the fact that he couldn’t be there when you were born and raise you but you have a great guardian angel watching over you every day.
All my love

Dad, I came to see you again. I wish I could’ve met you, I wish you would’ve had more time to at least be able to know who I was, know that I existed. And even though you never got the chance to know of me, I miss you more than you could ever know. I love you so very much. Thank you for everything you did for our country. Thank you for bringing the man who became my father into my life, thank you for making me, me. I look just like you, you know.. you live through me, and for that I am eternally grateful. I hope I’m making you proud. I love you, dad.

It’s been 19 years and I still think of you every...single...day. I miss you so much it physically hurts. The tears still come in waves and some days the waves feel like they’re going to swallow me whole. I miss seeing you sitting on my steps waiting for me when I got home. I miss visiting you at work and trying to step on your “shiny” shoes. I miss your voice, your smile, your jokes, your laugh and most of all...your hugs. I miss seeing how much it made you smile to help others. My favorite memory will always be the day we met. I think we sat in that parking lot for hours....and even then we didn’t want to leave! Who knew I would meet someone that I would love so much at a CPR class. I miss you and pray for the day I can see you again. My heart has never healed

James,
Ten years. Wow. My kids were only 4 & 6? It just doesn't seem that long ago. I feel sorry for anyone who never had the chance to spend time with you. They will never know what a little stinker you could be pulling a prank, or what a sweet loving gentle guy you always were to everyone you loved.
Even with people you weren't fond of, I never heard you be anything less than a gentleman. Losing you sucked then, not having you now hasn't gotten much better. Know that you were - and still are - loved by so many and will never be forgotten.

It is hard to believe it has been 10 years.
James is thought of often and we make sure to mention him and his sacrifice each Memorial Day Sunday at our church. The Sakofsky Family continues to be in our prayers.
James, we give thanks for men and women who like you have been so willing to serve our nation. We owe you more than words can express.

It's crazy that it has been ten years today.... Words can't describe how much you are missed. I am so glad that the memories I have of you are embedded in my brain. Even though each day we mourn the fact that you aren't physically in our lives we still are grateful that you live in our hearts. You still speak through out actions and your love shows in all that we do. You helped instill greatness into so many people and you will live with each of us until we are able to meet you again. I love you uncle James!

It's hard to believe it's been ten years since we lost you - it still feels like yesterday. Visiting you today was different for the boys; they've grown up so much and I know you're watching over them. It was nice to see that other friends had been there, too. We miss you and love you. Love, your big sis
