Reflections for Lieutenant Gregory Floyd Medlin
Happy Birthday Honey,
I know it was yesterday...but trust me, you never left my mind and heart! It also was another important day, Trey's best friend at C.B.H.S.( Alabama too ) David married Addison, his cheer-stunt partner! It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. I ran into so many of his H.S friends and parents you would have known...Coach was there too. It was great seeing everyone looking wonderful.
At our table among the huge centerpiece was one single forget-me-not. It seemed so fitting, yes, you know I teared
up. When we arrived home, I read " Karen's " Developmental Psychology Lifespan paper and I always knew you had an impact on her life, but I wasn't aware on how much.
I love you,
Shannon

Happy Birthday Baby,
Everytime I think of your birthday, I remember that you always wanted Creamed Tscos instead of a Birthday Cake. You could put away your share of them.
Hope Dad and the Angles help you celebrate. Wish I could be there to see you.
I LOVE you so very very much. Instead of fading it seems my memory of you and Dad just gets more vivid. Everything sparks a memory of you and I just get sad again.
Love you so very much and miss you more than you will ever know...................

Good Morning Baby and Dad.
Today is the annual Fallen Officer Memorial in Hernando. I really don't have to go to remind me how special you are. I remember that a gillion times a day, every day. Wish I could afford to go back to the memorial in DC.
The saddest part of the service is the bagpipes and Taps. This year they will have the fly over of airplanes and helicopters. A dove will be released in each officers memory.
I just want to remind you and Dad how very very much I love you both. The void in my life is like a gapping hole. Its like I can't get on with my life. I keep remembering the many many good times we had together. I miss you both soooo much.
I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!

Hey Uncle Greg,
I just wanted to tell you how much i miss you and Pepaw. I think about yall both everyday and would do anything to have you back. I am still at Mississippi State and I have my own house down here. I am doing great in school and I wish yall were here to see my house and meet my wonderful girlfriend Brittany. I always tell her how crazy you were and how much I wish she could have met you and Pepaw. But I guess I better get back to studying for Finals. I just had to stop and take a break. Keep watching over all of us each and every day. We all love and miss you both very much.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixth anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
To your Mom Liz: I share your anquish in losing a beloved child and know the hurt never goes away. Losing a child surely has to be life's greatest sorrows. I am thankful that you have your grandchildren close in your life and know that your son is very proud of all of you. I pray for your solace.
Rest In Peace

Hi Baby,
I guess I thought that if I didn't acknowledge what day it was last Tuesday it just would not happen, but I was wrong. I didn't mention what the date was to anyone and thought I was home free, until Andi came home from school crying. She had had a very bad day too. No matter how hard we try not to miss you it is just impossible to even go a day without being sad.
It seems just like yesterday when you were here pestering everyone and letting us know how much we loved you and how much you loved us. I would never have guessed that the sadness could go on so long.
I miss you and Dad so very much and LOVE you more than you will ever know. Tell Dad I miss and love him too.
I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH.................

Hey Baby,
Six years ago today is when I felt like I had just been stabbed in my heart. I was in shock. I really believed you would pull through. With a long haul of physical therapy , you would be the same ole Greg... with a great excuse to either shave your " hairs " and sport around your battle scars or get " new set of thick hairs."...WOW, I was wrong. I realize God had plans for you, but it STILL hurts!
Just know you will always be in my heart as long as it beats.
See Ya in heaven someday,
Shannon

I Can't get over that my heartfelt birthday message wasn't printed out. It was so long and the site kept asking me to resubmit three times. On the fourth time it seemed like it went through.(no way, I am so sorry i didn't check sooner.)
On 9-10 I had to drive to Jackson,Tn.to have Licky at least 17yrs old and little Itzi Bitzi Mitzi, 16yrs old put down, I had several opions from some of the best vets....It came down to me being sellfish, so Garyn met me at the vet office until they were at peace and I drove them to the creamatory. Ususally they require seperate slots,for a private ceremony,I watched him carefully slide them in together and stayed untill I felt calm. I thought I would loose my emotions,but I knew my Mom and Dad were waiting and did not want me to go alone. Then, Trey!!!HE knew it wouldn't be much longer, But I think it was harder on him for Licky. I guess my point is that the only original breathing thing left in this house is me... My parents are next door and we trade out dinner sometimes,Trey and Ashley are 5-6hrs away in Birmingham and bought their first home on a beautiful golf community. Garyn is still at Union Univ.and loves it. Today was Halloween and I watched Ole Miss,Mississipi State (THEY WON!)I know Willbo is happy! I was tivoing and going back and forth all day and night I guess SEC football, my 3 furkids, and working very little is my life.
I MISS and LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!

Hey was just thinking about you last night, I still have your plaque your mom gave me in my curio cabinet with a few diecast police cars that my wife set up for you. My neices boyfriend asked who the setup was for and I told him about you, and alot of memories came back and I havent been here in a while. I still see your mom every once in a while and she looks good, and proud of her for carrying on the cause, Liz your doing good!! I just wanted to drop a line and say Hi.
