Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Heard this song again today thought i would leave it

Lonestar Not a day goes by

Got a picture of you, I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark.
Got a memory of you, I carry in my soul;
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold.
If you asked me how I'm doin', I'd say "Just fine,"
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind...

Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you.
After all this time you're still with me it's true.
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside,
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by.

I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night,
Thinkin' you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right.
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark,
Wishin' you were next to me, your head against my heart.
If you asked me how I'm doin', I'd say "Just fine,"
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind...

Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you.
After all this time you're still with me it's true.
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside,
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by.

Minutes turn to hours, and the hours to days.
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way.

Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you.
After all this time you're still with me it's true.
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside,
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

HI,
Bryan is coming home today from Iraq. He will be home for 10days on leave. It is so hard to watch these guys come home and leave again. YOu always get that feeling deep down when you don't hear from them for a few days. Oh well I know that you are watching over them. Matt and I had a long converstation the other day. It is soo nice to be talking to him again. I know you are so proud of him being a cop now. I know I am. He is doing so well for himself. not the same mixed up teenager he used to be. Well I don't have much to say today. Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you
Love you

Hi, it's me again. Its coming that time of year again. Our wedding anniversary is in 24 days. I would have been 4 years. I wonder what we would be doing right now for our anniversary. I probably would be working as a nurse still at the hospital since you were very adament about me finishing school. I imagine you would be trying to find a way to go undercover still cause thats what you wanted. I am sure we would have started a family since that is what we were planning after marriage. Oh wellI guess it wasn't meant that way. Its almost like life teases you with what it could be like and then takes it away just as fast. I still miss you everyday

Hi, i was just thinking about you and thought I would leave a note. I still miss you just as much today as I did when this first happened. I wonder what life would have been like today with you here. I miss you so much and i miss your family too. I wish I still talked to them but I guess I don't mean as much to them without you here. Its a shame I lost them as well as you...Anyways, I know you are watching down on me, I can feel you with me sometime. I love you always

Well Wayne, it's been three years and then some...I still miss you and the off-the-wall stuff you used to say, just to get people to laugh. The world needs more people with your kind of comedic nature. I wish we could've had you around longer, as you always put a smile on people's faces, and you were a man everyone knew they could count on. The last time I saw you was when you came to a training class which I was attending. It was les than 48 hours before your EOW. You had worked all night on morning watch, but came to be a role-player in our class, just because you wanted to help us learn. We all love and miss you brother. See ya again someday.

To the family and loved ones of Deputy Sheriff Timothy Wayne Woodward and his fellow officers with the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department:

On this the third anniversary date of Wayne's tragic death, I wanted to honor and remember him today. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Wayne, I feel as if I know him through the loving reflections left by loved ones and friends. His valor and courage will never be forgotten.

I hope that God is holding his wife Missy in the sweetest part of his heart and the most gentle part of his soul.
I am glad to read that life is good for you now, Missy, and I am sure that makes your beloved Wayne happy.

I am so sorry that Wayne was robbed of his life at such a young age, but through his heroism and the profound sense of duty with which he lived his life, he made an immeasurable difference. May his spirit continue to soar and may his memory continue to inspire.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Wayne gave to his community and the citizens of Georgia, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on August 2, 2003.

Wow 3 years today and today isnt any easier than the first. I still miss you greatly. Life is good for me now. I know you have a hand in it. There are still days that are hard and unfortunatly there is no one i can turn to. I have to be sad alone. Jess made a comment on coels sight about forgeting and it made me sad because she is right. It is getting harder to remember the way you smelled, your laugh, the way you walk. It makes me sad. I hate that i can't watch what we would have had together. I miss you so much and I ask that you please still visit me in my dreams or whenever you feel i need it most. I love you.

Wayne & Missy I am retired from Cherokee now but lately I get back for a visit, rode with Sgt Chastain the other day. tonight I wanted to check in on you guy's. I will never forget you and the wedding ceremony and especially the funeral. I just prayed that God would give me the words to comfort you. I do hope your brother and Mother are doing better. My own son now serves with Gilmer County Sheriff's Office and I try not to let a day go by that I don't talk to him and tell him how much I love him and respect him for his work.
To all of you who "Serve and Protect, "Semper Fi" and God Bless you all.

Hi, wow its been awhile since i have been on here. things are soo busy for me now.I still think of you everyday and wonder what would have been. Our 3 year wedding anniversary just passed, i can't believe it has been this long. I miss you just as much today as i did the day you left me. I know you are happier in heaven but i still wish you were here. I haven;t been able to afford to go to washington this year. I hate that i can't go and visit and talk to everyone. It is so sadd how many young couples like us are tragically seperated. You date someone for so long and fially get married, ready to live out the dreams that you have dreamed for so long and then your world shatters. Its just not right. I love you and i know that some day we will be together again.

Wayne it seems its been a while since anybody has left a reflection here. I come here sometimes to see what people have posted, but for some reason have never written anything no matter how many times I tried or thought about it. I just wanted to let you know your not forgotten..Keep watch over us.

Missy,
I saw the reflection that you left for Police Officer Cole Martin and I felt compelled to leave a reflection for your husband Wayne. Although I have not had the privelege of meeting you, I hope that we can meet in D.C. this year if you are attending National Police Week.
It is so unfortunate what I have in common with you but I think it is truly significant. My husband, Bryan and I were only married 7 months before he was killed.
Please know that I am thinking of you. I see you just passed Wayne's 2 year marker for his EOW date. I will be praying for you and Wayne's family. If you contact Southern California COPS Chapter, they have my info.

My New Watch

I began my new watch today and everything’s going fine.
I just wanted to let you know that I would be checking in on you from time to time.

It’s really different here, but in a good way,
Although the change was sudden, rest assured there is nowhere else I’d rather stay.

I work with a crew of true heroes, who always do their best,
They always do their part, and watch over all the rest.

I can’t change what happened on that fateful night
But remember that I will forever continue to fight.

Please tell my family I love them and I’m with them all the time.
Help my wife when I can’t and give a kiss to that sweet child of mine.

I walk a new beat that seems so far away
But you can reach me, and I’ll back you up, you only have to pray.

I have to go now for there’s a rookie on the street.
I have to do my part, for it’s not his time to walk this special beat.

In memory of all our fallen brother’s and sisters of Law Enforcement

Hi I ts me again just wanted to leave this.
Looking at your picture from when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do could protect me from you that night

Wrapped around your finger, always on my mind
The days would blend 'cause we stayed up all night
Yeah, you and I were everything, everything to me

I just want you to know that I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never
end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back
to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

All the doors are closing I'm tryin' to move ahead
And deep inside I wish it's me instead
My dreams are empty from the day, the day you slipped away

I just want you to know that I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never
end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back
to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

That since I lost you, I lost myself
No I can't fake it, there's no one else

I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never
end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back
to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never
end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back
to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know
