Wanted to stop in and leave a reflection to let you know that you have not been forgotten. Your wife is doing great work to assist others who have lost officers in your home state. Keep looking down on your family. You will never be forgotten.

We miss you! Doing all the Christmas things we use to do together every year now with our daughter. We look up at the sky at each event for the Holidays and give you a big wave and she blows you a big kiss. Some day she will understand truely what a hero you are.....now most importantly she knows her daddy is in heaven...watching over her with the angels.

Merry Christmas!

Wayne, I attended the 5th Phx Pd funeral since your death. Unfortunately things are beginning to be familiar. My heart goes out to the Salmon/Grismore family (most recent). Take care of each other "up there" and know you are all so missed down here....until we all meet again.

I love you and miss you. Katianna still catches kisses from you every night....

Happy Thanksgiving Wayne. Your were missed. I still remember the first time we cooked Thanksgiving dinner together. Never did I think this holiday would continue without you.....

We spent time with my family and friends this past holiday. Katianna had so much fun. You be so impressed of how bright and beautiful she is. But I think you already know.

Phoenix Police Department recently held a small ceremony with friends and members of the Department, and gave Katianna your Medal of Honor. There was an oversight which caused the delay of the medal, but I was so proud to watch her get the medal in your honor. She knew it was a medal for her daddy, and she let Chief Harris put in on her proudly....not however, without a few toddler "no's" of course first! Yes, she did give him a bit of a hard time....he took it well and we all laughed.

Until we meet again.....

Love,
Alissa, Katianna, and our four legged kids!

How sad for a little girl to have her friend say that she doesn't have a daddy. She probably didn't mean anything by it, but I am sure it was still a sad moment. I am glad to read that your daughter is strong and stands up to people.

Thank you for your service and protecting the streets of Arizona.

Thinking of you today. One of Katianna's friends told her she did not have a daddy. But she proudly stated that "she did too, he is in heaven up there in the blue sky, and he is a policeman!"

Wish you were here to share our lives with us.

Love always,

Ali and Katia

Wayne,
Your birthday is tomorrow and the 10th was the 3 year mark of your death. I don't need to tell you all that you know. Life is never easy after a loved one dies, especially when it is unexpected and so young.
Life has been especially hard on your wife and beatiful daughter. There were some unresolved things that she has been struggling with but her family and friends are helping her through them. She has done a wonderful job raising your daughter alone, and will continue to do so.
Your daughter thinks that you and Don are riding your motorcycles together in the blue sky. I'm sure she is right.
May your spirit rest in peace from here on and your angels will guide you and take care of you.

Dear Wayne,

Today is that awful day when you were taken so tragecally from us. You are missed daily, and sadly there is a little girl who will only know her daddy through other peoples memories and photos.

We hold strong with are friends and family, with each year the pain gets easier. Oh how I miss our times together.

I want to thank those who have supported us the last three years, as you know that is what Wayne would of wanted. Your tragic death shows us how important each day of our life is...how important it is to be loving and supportive of others...living each day to the fullest so we all have no regrets.

It is so hard to know what to say....our family is missing a husband and a daddy. You can never be replaced. No one can ever give enough comfort to ease that loss. There is a beautiful little girl that already senses the loss of a daddy she never had a chance to meet. I ask you to send the angels to protect her and keep her safe, for she is your legacy.

Until we meet again. Still loving you,

Alissa

p.s. your daughter is convinced you are "playing legos in heaven, up with the airplanes in the blue sky"

September 10, 2005

Wayne,
Tomorrow will be the 3rd year mark of your death. We never met but I have gotten to see you in your daughter. She is beautiful not only on the outside but on the inside. She is a great comfort to Alissa. Alissa is doing a great job raising her by herself, it is very hard for her some days harder then others but she does it and does it well. Watch over both of them with loving eyes and tender thoughts.

Wayne, we just hit a year mark with two other officers today. It was sad and difficult for those who were at the memorial service. As your time approaches, there will hit another year mark, the third year, and this time it is for you. You are loved so much....even more sometimes. Your daughter is a bright light in this world. She has so many special gifts that she has been blessed with. But nothing could of replaced the gift of her having her daddy to love and be with her. She misses you....she knows you, even at two. Tonight we said a special prayer, as she looked up to the sky, and said her daddy is up there...in heaven. Ni-night daddy...Miss you...Love you.

Love always,
Alissa

Wayne, your daughter and I attended Police Week this year to help support the other families of this past years Fallen Officers. We spent some quite time near your name and placed a wreath in honor of you. We got some more etchings of your name and your daughter did her best to get one of her own with her purple crayon with a little assistance. She clearly knows she has a daddy and bent over to kiss your name on the wall.

We miss and love you and you will forever be in our hearts.

Your loving wife Alissa and your daughter
