Grief resides in our chest as a result of loss or tragedy, or some other pain. yet by some miracle God pours himself into us. He shines in our deepest despair and somehow repairs what's been torn apart...you are missed and loved by all scott.

Still missing you! Always will. I pray that you can see your girls growing up-I would hate to think that someone could have taken that away from you. You would be so proud of them.

Until I see you again, I'll be loving you..Love me

"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.

My dear son

It is now going on six years that you have been gone and each day is just like yesterday. It has often been said that a parent shold not outlive their children and I know this as a fact. You are missed each day with every breath I take LOVE Mom

My dear sweet Scott, just wanted to say something, like I still miss you to this day. I know your girls must think of you often, also. Rest in peace, my dear child.

I distinctly remember making the phone call to WSPD upon hearing the news that an officer was shot. I was so shocked to hear that you had been killed. It was a long drive from Houston but it wouldn't have been any other way.

Its been several years now. Upon going to the memorial in Austin, I sought out your name. Its there.

You were such a fantastic officer, sure wish you weren't called home. But I know our Master needed you more than us. You left us a legacy and a path to follow. For the short time I was there, I still can see the steps you walked and the example you set. Thank you for the memories.

Until we all are joined with you, keep heaven's gates secure.

My Dear Scott,
I still miss you to this day. And I thank God for letting me know you. Scott you are still missed by everyone at the PD. You are still talked about with so much love. Not only losing you that day changed. Everything with the police department changed. It was never the same again. The power and the knowledge you had was unforseen. I guess God needed you more than we did. Your girls are beautiful and smart, just like you. I know you are proud. It is a shame that their life will never be the same without you espically Sami. I still think of you so often. And, Scott I love you. Betty

Scott, Even tough you have been gone five years it seems like yesterday. We had your memorial yesterday and though the evening was stormy God allowed us a break between the storms to gather at your grave and remember.... There was even a beautiful sunset that gave us light and amazed everyone there. The past five years have been that way too. The Storm- when you are missed so much and then The Light- when we remember the good time and laugh and then The Storm again.....
All of us have many Storms and Lights to live through because you will never be forgotten. You are loved and missed by so many. Until we see you again......

Tragedy only prevails if we let it. We must remember on this 5th anniversary of the tragic loss of our beloved Scott, that he would never want any sadness. Scott would want the fun times to be remembered, the good times, the family times, and the laughter to continue. We must remember all the good to out weigh the hard memories.

Scott’s faith in God has allowed him a place in the Holy Kingdom. Scott wasn’t too proud to claim Jesus as his Savior. Why should you be? I cherish the time I got to spend with Scott while he was here, and look forward to seeing him again in Heaven!

Scott has been gone almost 5 years, but he is still very much a part of lives. From the wrinkles on his oldest daughters forhead to the youngest daughters desire be the night owl that her father use to be. He is still here and we still embrace his memories.

We miss you Scott.

Judgment Day for a Police Officer

.....Author Unknown

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, Policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my Church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
Can't always be a Saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my work was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep,
I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills just got too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."

There was silence all around the Throne
Where the Saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

My Dear Scott,
You are so missed to this day. So many new officers have come on board. Everyone has been told the story. I guess you will live on forever at this PD. And which you should. You were such an exceptional person, in your private life as in your professional life. I guess you know now how loved you were here on earth. Scott every new officer that I meet, I wonder if he will be anything close to what you were. And what you meant to all. And Scott, I remember how your December's were. How the holidays meant so much to you and Vicki. All the good eats and the holidays at your house. I miss you so much.

Rest in peace sir. Thank you for your service.

When I hired in at White Settlement in 2001, Scott treated me like I had been there for years. He was so professional and pleasing to work with. He was a supervisor that you could trust and confide in. His knowledge with computers and our MDC's was extensive. I never heard him utter a bad word in the short time I got to know him. After this tragedy occurred, the department never really was the same and still to this day has a void where Scott left off. I left the department in January 2005 and joined Arlington but I still remember the legacy and foundation that Scott left behind. I always remind new officers how Scott was not only an exceptional law enforcement professional, but also a devoted family man that placed his faith, wife, and children first. I try to live by the same principles that I saw in Scott with regards to my wife and son. Know that you will never be forgotten and that your legacy still lives on and has affected many officers in this profession. To the family, may God bless you and your future endeavors.

We love you!

I think sometimes I just look at this page and I still cant beleive my brother is gone. I think about you everyday and wish as Im sure so many do that you were still here. You impacted so many people during your short time here. You are very highly respected and thought of.

Everyone in my family loved you as if you were one of our own, of course you were one. Dalton got upset the other day, he was going to put a tool box on the back of the truck I gave him, but it would have partially covered the memorial sticker I put on there for you. He took the tool box off so he wouldnt cover the sticker. He loved you too brother.

If you are making an impact in Heaven like you did down here, you are doing well, save me a place, good Lord willing, Ill see you again someday.

Love you brother,
Doug
