Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Its been over 9 years since we graduated from the academy. I will never forget you. There was a reason God puts certain people in your life. You have made me a better person. I never patrol alone because I know you are with me. Thank you for keeping me safe and guiding me. I keep your picture around my neck. When I get a high priority call, I know I am not alone. You are a great friend gone way too soon.

I am still missing you. I miss seeing you everyday. It seems like no matter what we had to do we always saw each everyday when you moved to Virginia after us being apart for 17 years. I guess I was suppose to see you everyday for the last four years of your life.

I never knew you or know any police officers personally but I would just like to say you are in my thoughts and was really touched more so by your death because you survived 10 years as an officer in one of the worse cities of our country in Detroit but you are only here in Norfolk for 11 mos and you lost your precious life. Norfolk is in no way near what Detroit is but on second thought it scares me that Norfolk could actually be worse than Detroit. God Bless you. You did not deserve what happened to you.

It's amazing people still remember you. One of your fellow police officers came up to me in the mall and said I gave him goose bumps. He said he knew I had to be your Identical twin sis it's so crazy to see you in me. He said it was scary.

I miss you. Sometimes I look in the mirror and say boy I'm looking like Sheila today:)

Love You for ALWAYS

Went home last week got a chance to see the whole family. Went to the cemetary and saw your final resting place. I still miss you. Your beloved Monte Raphael (your very much spoiled poodle also spoiled by mommy) had a heart problem and passed on either late Sunday or early Monday.

I remember the first time I met your twin sister. I went to her house to study with you. I immediately noticed you guys had the same type of skirts on with open toed shoes. Then it clicked. Everything that was puzzling to me, became clear. The two of you were one. I miss you everyday and I keep you close to my heart and forever in my memories.
We love and miss you dearly

I saw identical twin guys in the Bahamas it was funny one was at the bar at night and one was working in the restaurant the next morning. I went to speak I noticed the name and I immediately knew twins. It would have messed up anyone else. I remember we used to do that all the time. We would get random people(we thought)and come up to us and just start talking like we knew them, but I guess one of us did know them. That was always the best thing about being identical. We always keep them guessing. We are going to Mexico next week:) Yes it was you that got us traveling.

I love you and missing you

Hey Sheila!! You are missed so much. Bernard will receive his Bachelor Degree on May 6, 2011 and I wish you were here in person to celebrate with us. You were the one who told me I was having a boy and you knew when he was ready to make his entry into the world. You also taught him that he didn't have to be scared of anyone (remembering when you hung that bully in the garage for Bernard). I know you are with us in spirit, I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and you are NOT FORGOTTEN. You are apart of his achievements and I Thank You.

Love Always,
Your Little Sister Lisa

I can't believe it's been eight years since you left us. You were always so strong. Even when your youngest daughter Aleisha was killed in 93 you were strong for Alexis and now Alexis is strong for us. Not a day a hour a minute a month a year or a moment goes by without me thinking about you. Can't wait til we are together again.

Love You Always
