To the family of Officer Waters,

I lost my husband a week ago in a car accident as he was on his way to a call. I know the pain you feel is great but I promise you it will get better with time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope this memorial page will comfort you as much as it has helped me.

You were so young and had so much to look forward to. It's a tragedy-2 officers in 2 weeks in 2 cities right across the river from each other. I'm glad that MPD got the guys responsible for this senseless act. My thoughts and prayers to the family, friends, and co-workers. There is no easy way to get over the pain, just live each day to the fullest and be there for each other.

REST IN PEACE OFFICER WATERS. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. I AM SADDENED TO HEAR THAT ANOTHER OFFICER TO BE TAKEN IN THE LINE OF DUTY. AT THE AGE OF 16 I WAS A TROUBLED TEEN AND LEAD AUTHORITIES ON A CHASE THE PERSON I WAS WITH ENDED UP CRASHING THE VEHCILE NO OFFICERS WERE HURT BUT I STILL CRINGE EVERYTIME I THINK I COULD HAVE GOTTEN AN OFFICER HURT OR KILLED. I HOPE THAT IF ANY ONE READS THIS THAT THEY WILL LOOK AT THE NEXT TIME THEY SEE THE LIGHTS AND SIRENS IN THEIR REAR VIEW MIRROR TO JUST PULL OVER AND LET THESE FINE PEOPLE DO THEIR JOBS. IT TOOK ME ALONG TIME TO APOLOGIZE TO THOSE I HURT BUT NOW I HAVE MADE PEACE WITH MYSELF FOR THE CRIMES I DID AND THOSE I HURT. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND DEPARTMENT DURING THIS TRAGIC EVENT. YOUR MEMORY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN BUT HONORED.

REST IN PEACE AND GOD BLESS.

Officer Waters Family,

I first would like to say,.......I am sorry for your loss. I know that nothing right now can help with the pain, and hurt. Just know, that he is watching over you, and his fellow officers. He has passed through the thin blue line, and made the ultimate sacrifice.

To his wife,

I offer my deepest sympathy, I too lost my Husband, May 1997, and it will take time, to help heal you. Until then, I leave you this this Poem.

"A Police Officer's Wife"
A special kind of woman: a cut above the rest,
That's A Police Officer's Wife, rating her best.
How many good byes are whispered, joined with a fond embrace? As duty steals her man, for the danger he must face.
How often have meals been ruined - or tender moments disturbed, by a call for special duty, sparking loyalty unswerved?
It's a devil of a job, for an angel like this,
Who......for the love of her man, must forsake that kiss,
She can run a garden tractor; even paint a room in need, How she can stretch a dollar is a miracle indeed.
She's mother, lover, chauffeur and nurse,
A living symbol of: "for better or for worse."
Rich is the man, reaping his rewards in life,
Who chose to be the other half of
A Police Officer's Wife.

Surviving Spouse and now,

It is with great sadness that I read of another law enforcement office losing his life in the line of duty. And it especially difficult to read of a fellow Arkansas Officer. My prayers go with the family and department.

9/12: What a senseless act! I would hope that the suspects will eventually pay the full price for the murder of a Police Officer. Of course, who knows how many civilians were also put in harms way. My thoughts, prayers & condolences are with Mrs. Waters and the West Memphis Police Department.
