Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hey Warfy! Coming up on anniversary and thinking of you deeply! 5 years and so many changes I wish you had been here for. You would have never thought I'd done some of them. You'd be proud.
I went to DC to the memorial wall and made a tracing of your name. I posted it as a reminder to treat people as you did, like it could be the lat time you ever see them again.

Love ya Junebug!

Warf, Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you this evening. I was clenaing out the garage, and I found a box that had our pictures from thr Police Academy in it, and I started thinking about our week on the driving course when we were partnered up together. But anyway, guess I will get out of here for now. Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about ya! See ya buddy.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Just missing you! You're always in my thoughts and I love you the same as I did the day you left. Kevin went down Sunday and played with Davey for a while and he has just really talked alot about him since. Couldn't believe that he came up to his eyes! Junebug, Davey is Beautiful. Who knew you could make such a wonderful human being! It hurts so badly to look at that baby and think of him never seeing you again. He's identical to you. You would never believe it. Let's just hope he ant as mean as you were! I love you with my whole heart and I thank God everyday for blessing me with you and though it was a very short 29 years with you, we did a powerful love. I miss you so much my brother...

Junebug:
I cannot get you and Betty off my mind today. I miss you so much. My heart breaks over and over everyday. I still pick up the phone to call Betty. I pray and pray to have peace in my heart.
There are times, all I do is think about the past and what if's. But I cannot wait for what will come to pass.
Junebug, you know your family has stood by one another and always will. I cannot wait until Judgement Day until your faithful and true family can reunite with you and Betty again.
Please continue to guard our family as you always have.
I love Buddy,
Wendy

July 1, 2005

Well Warf it has been two years since you went to be with the Lord. It is hard to believe that it has been that long. You helped me with some of my problems and made me see that life is worth living. You helped me understand what true friends are and how much they mean to you. I miss you alot and hope that one day I will be standing there beside you and guarding the gates to Heaven.

June 29, 2005

Warfy, I cannot believe that it has been two years. It seems like just yesterday we were sitting at waffle house with the steves and us all laughing together. I will never forget the last night you were here, and how you unknowingly made it a point to talk to everyone that you needed to for one last time. It is amazing to think about. You were an awesome person, and an awesome father. I know that your wife and son miss you terribly, as we all do. I can only imagine you laughin at me with those bright eyes and bright red cheeks of yours as I make my 'stupid' relationship decisions everyday ;). I love you and miss you big guy.

June 28, 2005

On the 2nd anniversary of your homegoing: Our thoughts are with
all those still trying to get past this,
one day at a time. For you, to be with
Jesus is all good, but for those of us
left behind, it's very difficult. But as
believers in Jesus our Savior we
know a better day is coming and we
look forward to that rendezvous in the
sky. It can't come soon enough for
some! God bless. With love from
one coast of America to the other.
