Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Missing you today, and always. I don't make it to the cemetary anywhere near as often as I should. I promise to be there soon. You are in my heart, my thoughts and prayers. Love and miss you much.

Mike,
I'm sorry to say that the coward has taken his life. The State will not have the opportunity to serve justice on Mr. Koliser, but there is a greater Judge that Mr. Koliser must now face, and I'm certain His judgement will be far more harsh and swift than that any mortal could impose.

Good speed Officer Hartzell,
I know that you watch over us all.

When I start my tour of duty, Lord
Wherever crime my be
As I walk the darkened streets alone,
let me be close to thee...

Thinking of you, Steph, and your family today. We can't believe it's been 2 years. Seems like yesterday that you were still here. We will never ever forget all of the fun times we had, especially the summer of 2002....when you chased "a certain someone" with our video camera, laughing the whole time. WE MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Can't believe it's been two years. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. We pray for your fiance and your colleagues that still continue without you. What a brotherhood you must have. Please don't give up the fight of good against evil.

4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends

Officer Hartzell thank you for your service and dedication. You will be missed and never forgotten. May your family, fiancee, and everyone who loves you stay strong in the memories and love you shared with them.

I lost my fiancée, Scott Stewart, in August of 2002. There not a day that goes by without him in my heart and mind. I understand the pain your fiancee must feel from being ripped from you to soon. The support and love from others who know my pain have helped tremendously.

Stephanie, if you ever feel the need to reach out to others who know your pain, please contact me and other s/o’s. A search on yah groups will bring you to us. Just enter the below as it is.

Always remember as long as your heart beats Michael will be with you. He’s there everyday in your heart.

Hugs,
Monica
