Reflections for Police Officer Scott T. Stewart, IV
The Stewart name may have stopped the day you left this earth, but I can guarentee you and your family one thing. The Stewart name stopped, but what you lived for and believed in lives on in every person that knew you even ever so slightly. You are my inspiration and I will always keep you alive.
August 12, 2004
Thinking of Scott, his family & friends, and giving thanks to the men and women serving in law enforcement every day, but especially today, the two year anniversary of Scott's passing. May God continue to bless your family and watch over and protect LEOs everywhere.

Today is the two year anniversary of your death. Not a day goes by that I dont miss you and our friendship. Rest in peace partner.

Scotty,
It has now been two years since you were taken from us. There has not been a day that has gone by that I have not thought of you. I am sure that there will be many tears shed for you tonight as everyone relives that horrible night we received that phone call. I think that they are right when they tell you that the second year is harder than the first. I only wish that you could have shared your life with someone and had children. The Stewart name stopped the night your life was taken, how we would have adored your children.
Tonight will be spent alone thinking of you and having a good cry. Tomorrow we will visit you and spend the day with family and friends. Please give us all the strength to get through the day. The pain is still so raw and I know that you would hate for us to feel this way. I can't help it. If you want me to stop then come down here and do something about it.
Know that we have had great support from your friends and the other survivors. I hope that you all are together keeping watch. Remember to watch over your girls, Jordan, Haley, and Shelby. They miss their Uncle Scotty.
I miss you and love you,
Andrea

Scott,
You and your family are ever present in our minds and hearts as August 11th approaches. Your family has been so very kind to mine... since Kevin was killed. They are such wonderful people, as I'm sure you know. I hope that you and Kevin are sharing a drink... somewhere. Continue to watch over your family and your comrades. You will never be forgotten.

SCOTTY,
WE MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER TRIP DOWN THE RIVER AND YOUR MEMORY IS STILL FRESH IN EVERYBODY'S MINDS. WE SET UP YOUR CHAIR BY THE FIRE AND PUT SOME FRESH BOTTLES OUT FOR YOU TO ENJOY. AND AS YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS ON THE CANOE TRIP STAYS ON THE RIVER, BUT THANKS FOR WATCHING MY BACK.
THANKFULLY THIS TIME WHEN WE ALL GOT CALLS IN THE EARLY MORNING, ON THE DAY WE WERE LEAVING, IT WAS THE NEWS THAT THE STERLING HEIGHTS COP KILLER COMMITTED SUICIDE. IT GAVE US MORE REASON TO KEEP THE ANNUAL TRADITION GOING FOR MANY MORE YEARS.

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

A sunny summer moring,
A steamy August night,
Began with love and hopefulness;
and ended with shock and fright.
As we awoke and we found out
About the night before,
The shock set in; the grief began
And we felt it more and more -
The anger at those who caused this,
And at those who don't care.
Still felt by some, it hasn't stopped
Because this isn't fair.
How different would our world be
Had this event not occurred.
The shock we never would have felt,
The crying never heard.
If this rose hadn't faded,
If this rose hadn't died,
Would we still all be happy,
And would we not have cried?
His death horrific, yet merciful
We haven't quite figured out,
But one day we will know.
Without a doubt we'll all find out

Scotty,
I wrote to you on your birthday, but I guess there were some problems on the site. We spent the day as a family with you. We gave you balloons for your birthday, the girls really liked doing that, of course, it brought tears to all of the adult eyes. You are definately missed, it still hurts to think about your life cut so short. We think about you all of the time, we talk about you all of the time. Jordan has been talking about you alot. She has your picture on her night stand with a police dog and a Detroit Police Car.
Keep watch over the girls, it is up to you to be their Blue Angel. Keep them safe.
I miss you

Happy 33rd Birthday dear Scotty,
Hope you caught all the balloons that Jordan, Haley, and Shelby sent up to you.
Kim and Bill Hart did a blood drive in your memory.There was a very good turn out, alot of first timers because of you, including your mother but I passed out for the first time in my life.The girls made me get well cards which I thought was very cute.
We all miss you and think of you every day.

Scott, it's been two years since I saw you last.I still can't understand why.It's odd because it seems so long ago that you were here except that last day still seems like it happened yesterday. I miss your freindship and I miss working with you. As these days go by I realise more and more what a great freind you were and what a great police officer you were. I wish I could talk to you just one more time. I can't apologize enough...

Last week I was watching Jordan and one thing she wanted to do that day was visit her Uncle Scotty, but first we had to stop and get some canations red, white, and blue for the 4th of July.we talked to you for awhile, I know she still misses you alot.We all do.
Every day I look out the window and WISH I could see you drive up in your gray truck with Curtis at your side.
They say time heals, but I don't think so. I know you are in a good place and I know you are happy so I try to remember that. We all miss and love you.
Love and Hugs,
Mom

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me
From up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
Everyday
Cause you are my forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Scott,
I cannot believe it's been almost 2 years since you were taken from us. There's not a day that goes by when you are not on my mind. I miss you so much. Some days I just want to scream "why". This time of year is so hard for me. Every month holds some special day. June - my birthday, you proposed to me that day. July - your birthday. August - your End of Watch day. September - our would have been wedding day.
I went to see you on my birthday. As soon as the cemetary came into view I broke down. I know your there, but I hate it. The place just reminds me of how cold and permanent everything is, but I'll keep going there because you're there.
I love you,
Monica

HAPPY 4TH TO A BLUE ANGEL IN HEAVEN.
July 4, 2004
The family went to DC again, some of your friends came to. Dad and I met Lopez at the wall. I can see why he was your friend.
When I saw your name on the wall I closed my eyes and thought your name shouldn't be here but when I opened them your name was still there.
I know you were laughing at Bill and your ol Mom trying to get back to the hotel from the metro.
The girls still talk about their uncle Scotty. They are growing so fast. Shelby will celebrate her 3rd birthday on Tues.
Saw your star.
LOVE AND HUGS

We would like to thank everyone for the kind words, prayers, and support to our family. Also for the reflections left for Scotty, some made us cry and some brought a smile.
We pray that God will watch over everyone in law enforcement.
Just remember Scotty (Stewie) has your back when you are on the streets.
STAY SAFE

HAPPY EASTER TO A BLUE ANGEL IN HEAVEN.

I came across this poem and my thoughts went to you
A Million Times
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go lone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
Thank you for sending me the message, I am trying but some times it so hard.
Love
Mom

I was not blessed to know Stewie, however, through the the most dedicated and loyal police men and women in the country (9th pct), I was allowed to know of the greatness and compasion of Stewie. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart are the most courageous people I have ever met and I will always thank God for alowing me to cross paths with them. God bless, and you will always have my love and support.

Stewie, there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. You will forever be in my heart and I can't wait to see you again. My heart is still very heavy and it still hurts very much. I really enjoy seeing your family, because I can see why you were such a great person. Your dad reminds me a lot of you; he makes me laugh constantly (just like you did).
I know you are in a much better place now and continue to watch over your family and friends. See you in the next life and I'm so very sorry (I can't say it enough).

Scott,
I went to Jennifer and Matthew's funeral. I know that you were there to greet them when they joined you...it was so hard. I thought of you the whole time and knew that you were there with everyone, comforting them. I felt so numb afterward; it was very difficult to see Eric and your family and friends reliving so much--for their wounds are still so raw. Please continue to watch over them now more than ever as they really need you. I know that you keep a hand on everyone; that makes me feel a little better each time Eric leaves for work...
Thank you.
Love,
Amanda
