One can only wonder what could have been.So many things have changed in the time you've been gone.Then there are other things that will always stay the same. I don't come here much anymore.It's still too hard.I still think of you often and I pray for your family. You have two comrads that have come to join you.Bill Evans and Brandon Paudert. They,like you were taken quick and tragic.Although,yalls tours are over here.You'll have to show them how the tours work there.I came here today to let you know they are coming.So,Mike take 'em and show 'em the ropes.They're come'n home.

I was just reading the article on my brother Trooper Ralph George Zerda who was killed in 1989. I noticed that you sent condolences to our family. I also would like for you to know that my family sends their heartfelt sympathy for your loss. When a young person is killed, we are never the same. Time heals a little but the emptiness and what ifs are still as painful even twenty years later. But to know that eternal life awaits all of us is the only consolation.

Sincerely, Dorothy Zerda-Uribe, San Antonio, Texas

Officer Waters I wanted to again thank you for the service that you provided and to let you know that your sacrafice was more than anyone should have to give. You are a true hero!

To the family of Officer Waters, please know that he is in no way forgotten. He is gone only from our view at the moment, but not truly gone. I come to his memorial page often and read the refelctions. It makes my heart ache for yall. I know that death is to often a part of this job. Yet each day officers suit up to take that risk in the protection of others. My biggest fear in my 10 years of public service has never been the fear of death. It has, and always will be leaving behind my loved ones. I think that is why I am so connected to the memory of Officer Waters. I read the reflections and can feel the hurt from each of his loved ones. Yet it helps because even through all the pain yall are finding a way through it, and it is each of yalls strength that helps to re-assure me for my family. I know Officer Waters checks on each of you often and is no doubt proud.

Officer Waters and each of his loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers today and always.

We actually met MIchael's Mom and Dad at memorial service in Washington, Dc. I know Michael was their only son, as being a family member also of being honored in same year, I think of them often. I hope they are doing ok, we had our young son with us and I just remember his mother hugging my son also named "Michael". I hoped this has helped heal in a way, also to know complete strangers still think of you for just the minutes shared at that memorial. If Michael's mom does want to contact us, I have included my website. God Bless all Who Serve.

Im expecting my second baby boy Mike, and your mom would be so shocked that both of my boys are December babies just like you. The most recent on the 19th unless he has other plans for mommy. I was just thinking how crazy that was being so close to your birthday. Watch over me through all of this...Im very nervous this time around!

Hey Michael,
You'll never believe the strength you've given me. So this is how it went down, I was having problems at my last professional job and it was time to make a decision about my future and the future of my family. So, I quit my job, mostly for health reasons, and I am going to register myself for an associates degree in criminal justice. After I finish a few classes, the police academy will fulfill all of the technical electives and allow me to take the FDLE certification exam. So, hopefully by next year I will graduate the academy with an assignment and my associates degree. Keep pushing me man because I can do all things through Michael C. Waters who strengthens me. Love you bro!

Hey papi,

It's been a minute since I've been around because of all these medical problems that keep hounding me. I spoke to your Pop a few times recently, I pray that he and your beautiful mother get out of this Ike aftermath soon.

I just wanted to tell you how proud I was of you, I tell everyone that asks me about my forearm tattoo that you were the best human that God created, and that's why he chose you to assist him in heaven at such a young age.

You know, I always wondered if you were into billiards, cause I've been moving up the ranks lately, and always wondered which side of the family that came from.

Well, it's 3:30am, I'm wide awake, and I think my hemmoroid is flaring up, so I'll holler at you later. Love you bro, Kevin

To the family and loved ones of Officer Michael Waters, his fellow officers with the West Memphis Police Department, and most especially to Mike:

On this the fifth anniversary week of your tragic death, please know that you are honored and revered today and everyday.

From all the loving reflections left about you, I can see that you were an amazing man and what a grievous loss your loved ones have endured.

May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire. You are loved and missed by so many.

Rest in Peace, Mike. A body is but for a lifetime, but spirits and souls are for eternity and yours is forever part of those who call you beloved.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Mike gave to his community and the citizens of Arkansas, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 11, 2003.

Somewhere among the many these many pages of heroes I came across your name. I wanted to stop at your page and leave a reflection to let those know that love you that you are a true hero and will never be forgotten. I know that each morning when they wake, the first thought they have is of you and that at the end of their day when they are about to drift off to sleep their last thought of the day if of you. Continue to watch over all of your loved ones.

Hey bro, I need your help man. I am trying real hard to keep things together, but I feel like I am losing control. I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but I sure could use the help of a friend. Why is it that life has to be so difficult sometimes? When I think that I am making such progress, all of the sudden I get beat down with another problem. Give me strength bro. I will be praying for strength. Love you man!
