Needing strength and understanding.
Can you send some my way?

Kevin, my last message (you know why!)

"Final Tribute"

I can't believe the news I heard today
NOT the Trooper I know, in his "golden boy ways"
To catch a criminal, like we are all sworn to do
To loose the battle, I just can't accept how this could be true

To hear the helicopter carry our hurt comrade away
Praying that we will meet on earth again someday
Wanting to know what happened out there
What I found out, was too much to bear

Troopers everywhere, setting up a perimeter
Helicopter jet engines, K-9's and bomb squad perimeters
All the while a funeral, a crying mother, father and wife
Why Lord, why have you chosen to take this special life

Years go by, moving on but not forgetting
I think of golf outings, quick punts and ride along banterings
We see your picture on the wall everyday at work
Know your part of this post forever, no matter how much we hurt

Peacefulness, is what we seek here on earth
The few take the oath and pledge to protect those, even from birth
Some of us make the ultimate sacrifice
That's what we are about, even if it means the final price!

Memorials are built, Statues constructed
Children are growing, parents living, siblings inducted (MiCops)
There is still something void, missing, out of step
I suppose it will be that ways always, finally realizing the depth

Sleep well friend, comrade in arms and truth
Your children and family will always be encircled by us as lasting proof
I pray that you are looking down on us, smiling with pride
As we struggle and ask for strength, taking life not in stride.

A friend who misses you greatly!!!

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Who You'd Be Today
Kenny Chesney

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
I still can't believe you're gone

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today

Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
I know it might sound crazy

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today

Today, today, today
Today, today, today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again someday

Someday, someday


- I love you BROTHER!!!

God bless Angie and the kids!!!

I miss you every day, and I think of you when I put my vest on.

I wish I knew how to ease Angie's pain for you - but I'm sure that she know's you are watching over her and the family.

I miss you evryday bud!

Not someone special, just a friend and comrade. I think of Angie, the kids, Kathy and Jerry, Shelly and Mark! Remain brave, strong you Marshall's. My theme, it's not about us, it is about Kevin! Course, true friends know that... Miss Ya Kevin!

February 11, 2006

God bless the "Bulls" and their loved ones. Remember - no Troop dies in vain. There is a special dedication - not only to their community, but also to their family. It takes a special person to be the spouse of a Troop. Angie - stay strong. You are the definition of that special person. I know that Kevin is watching over you every day. God bless!!!

Angie, Danielle, and Anthony - I can't begin to tell you what that day has meant to me. That day, a truly special man was lost. A great friend, father, and co-worker. I was proud to know Kevin, and I wish that I would have been able to bring myself to leave a message earlier... I'm sure he's keeping others in line in heaven, and I look forward to seeing him again when the time is right.

Superbowl XL in Detroit and the Team guys are doing sniper stuff. Im sure you would have loved to do that with them - you are with them in spirit as always. They have not, nor will they ever, forget you - you will always be a part of the Team.

February 5, 2006

I miss you.
I know that you are close by, though.
I can feel it.

Tpr. Kevin Marshall taught at the state raid entry school for all Michigan Law enforcement officer 3 weeks below this call when his life was taken! He was a honest, caring instructor. I learned alot from Tpr. Marshall and remember him before every raid. Tpr. Marshall was the first trooper ever killed in the line of duty on the Michigan State Police Emergency Specialist Team (SWAT Team)

Kev, 11 years ago today, MIGHTY 111th R/C. You will never be forgotten.

Yes, life is hard. It's a huge mystery, sometimes filled with great and wonderful things. Other times with challenges, tears and a lot of pain. What happened to Kevin is not fair. What happened to all of these officers that lost their life tragically was not fair. Although they are gone, their spirits are here; they haven't left the sides of their loved ones. Keep the faith and remember that one day, our rewards in heaven will be great. Kevin, Angie and the kids will be together again some day, as will all of those that believe! Pray for the safety of all the men and women on the thin blue line. They're a brave family!

life is hard

Thinking of you.

Happy New Year; our best regards to Angie, the kids and all your family. Thinking of you, thinking of them, sending our best wishes, and loads of prayers. God bless.

merry christmas daddy! we know you know.....

December 25, 2005

Merry Christmas!
Keep knocking the bulbs out of the bowl.... It makes me smile! Only you could do that and get under my skin, in a good way.
You are SOOOOOO missed here....
How am I supposed to face the rest of my life on earth without you here?
I don't know..................

December 24, 2005

Hey Kev,
Merry Christmas! Thinking about you and missing you every minute of every day. That's not to say that I'm not happy and living a productive life, because I feel that I am. It's just not the same and never will be. I will always miss you and the relationship we had.....
The kids are so excited about Christmas! Ryley can hardly control himself. I've caught him "peaking" 3 times now. I started to yell at him, but he got so nervous and started to pick his lip....that I backed off. Remember when we (or should I say I!) used to peak? Emma seems oblivious to the whole thing. You'd get a real kick out of her! I wish you knew her now...
Come visit me soon. I feel very lonely sometimes.
I love and miss you more than most know.
S.
