Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Six years ago today was the absolutely worse day in my life. I can still remember the details like it was yesterday. I think about you everyday and always wonder what you would have done with your life, where would you be today. I miss you and your hugs everyday. Thank you for keeping watch over Jordan, Haley and Shelby, you are their BLUE ANGEL. They are great kids and I know that you would be proud to be their uncle.

We will all be together today, you know where we will be :)

Love you!
Andrea

Uncle Scotty,
6 years has gone by, but it has seemed like forever. Everyday I think about that horrible night you left us. But then i think about all the good memories and look back at all the times you were there for me. At every Cheer Competition, if we did good or bad I know you would been there telling me a did a great job! I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND I WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE WITH US!

It is the evening before your end of watch date. I remember the call in the early morning hours on Sunday and driving to the hospital. Two weeks before you were at our house, supporting us and now we were going to try and provide support and comfort to your family. It’s strange how our paths crossed. It’s as if God knew that each of our families were going to need one another to make it through these past years. A wonderful friendship has developed out of the tragic loss of our children.

Thank you for being there for us and the opportunity to know you.

Another year has passed and you are still missed. I wish you were here, life would have been so different if you would have lived. People say that when it is your time to go, it is your time. I still do not think I believe that, I think some people are caught up in situations that they should not have been in. You will be in my thoughts today and tomorrow, not that you are not always in my thoughts, but more so on these two days.

So, true, whoever wrote the last...

33 the other day. Time keeps on beating, another year, one filled with a lot of growing and the pains were deep, but I know I am on the right path. I could see that face you make when I am doing something stupid, I guess I wouldn't be me if I did everything right! lol. Thoughts of what you thought on the subject keep coming into my head...no matter what, and stick through it all, regardless, right? It's not all sunshine and daises all the time. I know you would be nodding your head and smiling at me.

It's hard, especially during this time of year when I go through moments of reflection because something sparks a memory. So, just smile, say naw it's nothing, and soldier on.

I would still say yes. Everyday, I wonder what it would have been like if it never happened. Where would we be. Probably not here, not with Detroit going the way it is. I could now see me in the pacific northeast, especially since I have found a new love in yoga and it's teachings. Just haven't made the move to a veggie life, yet. You would have a laugh, wondering how I can have a somewhat liberal view, but listen to Rosh and agree with him. Working days I am able to catch his show, brings back memories of riding in the Toyota with you listening to him. Hey, it's great putting him on when you have someone in the back seat and he's going on and on....

I miss you, you were my rock. Now I have to be the rock. I've come to realize, while I can be strong and manage, I would prefer to let the reins go. Our relationship, how we ran our home, the roles we played in it, that's what I miss the most. You don't realize how much you miss something and how right something is, until it is taking from you and you are thrust into the other side. What I wouldn't give to have nothing to worrying about other than what I was making you for dinner, cleaning the house, gardening, shopping and just being the way we were.

I think I'm just tired, and so ready to go home.

I'll be home soon,
But, until then, I will stop, admire, and enjoy everything around me. So, when you give me that look and say - "you had to look and touch everything, didn't you.. a five minute browse turned into an hour" - I can say "of course...and I enjoyed it and learned a lot."

I love you,
Honey Bunny

Time goes on, but the pain still stays.

Monica, thinking of you and Scott and wishing you could make one more memory. Maybe there is a reason, but I will be glad when someone says what it is.

First time in a very long time I've had the strength to come here. You would think that time would make it easier, but it doesn't. Time just changes your life and brings new experiences, problems, etc. You never forget those who brought so much love, hope, and life into your life. They are treasures of love and light. Maybe, that is why it becomes so difficult at times because the light, love and hope that person brought into your life cannot be a part of your life anymore. They say you have memories, sure, and those memories make you smile, but they also break your heart because you remember, and you remember how happy you were, and you try so hard to be happy, to love, to live, to do everything that is expected of you, but it's not the same. Sometimes it seems those happy memories turn into slow torture because there will never again be a chance to make more and repeat the simple things you treasured with that person, and you ache to have just one more.

I miss you pumpkin. I miss all the simple little things we did together that made our relationship beautiful. Everyday I think of you and I still love you. I will always love you. I cannot wait to see you again.

So many memories, and a lot more, but I would give anything to make one more...than another...and another..

I love you,

Interesting to see how much Jordan has matured..what a beautiful poem she wrote for you. Interesting your mom would wonder how you'd feel about the political turmoil in the city right now.....I've often laughed to myself when thinking what you'd have to say about old Kwame's exploits. Sad how I feel each day I see Monica....its a daily reminder of the loss so many of us felt the day you left us. We miss you and you are always on our minds.

Your partner and friend

So I must wait until tomorrow you see the news coming so unexpectly, The night she told me you where gone, I thought surely I couldn't carry on. I miss your voice night and day, Oh how I wish I could see your face. I walk the streets and think of when, The laughter we shared will never end. And how I wish I would of told you then, You where truly my best friend. I thought of a thousand things we could do, But your gone now, you see its to late to. But maybe out in the green grassy field, I can pick a flower and begin to heal. I know the day will come and then, That surely I shall see your face again. Until tomorrow my best friend, When I can tell you how much I love you then. Lay down now beneath the wind, Sleep, Sleep, until tomorrow begins.

Miss you so much
happy Easter
