It has been 2 years since you were called away from duty. I know your family and close friends think of you every day. The love for you that they have in their broken hearts will never die as long as they walk this earth. Keep watch over them and protect them.

hey Greg!

I miss you so much, it seems like I'm always saying to myself "wow, Greg used to say that, or pick on me about that" You drove me crazy when you used to tease me but I wish you were still here to tease me all the time. I was flipping through pictures the other day and I found some of our marsh-mellow fight and I couldnt stop smiling and laughing because only you would start a marsh-mellow fight in the house! ...I wish you were here to come to some of my volleyball games, we are 12-1 and we are leaving for state on wednesday! i love you and miss you so much as well as everyone else!

p.s.-watch over me and willbo as we start driving...scary huh?

Hi Greggy-Poo!

I can't believe it has been two years ago today since the accident.

Andi is having a real hard time.

We all miss you so much. We will never be the same without you here with us.

Everytime I cut your Dad's hair I think about you telling me to "Cut it thick this time, Mama". I wish so very much I could cut your hair again.

I love you more than you will ever know.

Greg,
You are still missed as if it were just yesterday. You will never know what this has done to my life. I love you more and more every day.

I wish I could tell every parent how important it is to tell their children daily how much they are loved and how important they are to them.

The worst time of all is the first thought of you every day. It's just like it just happened. I don't think that feeling will ever go away.

I still love you dearly and miss you more than I could ever imagine.

Love,
Mom

Hi Baby,

We are leaving Thursday morning for D.C. to honor you and other fallen police officers. You don't know how proud I am that I am your mom. I just wish I had told you more often when you were with us.

I missed you so very much on Mother's Day and my birthday. I could just hear you teasing me about being an old woman.

I love you so much, sweety!!

A COP ON THE TAKE

First he takes....the oath!
(Now look at what else he takes)

He takes ... it in stride when people call him pig.

He takes ... his lousy paycheck realizing he'll never be rich.

He takes ... a second job sometimes to make ends meet and support his family.

He takes ... time to stop and talk to children.

He takes ... your verbal abuse while giving you a ticket you really deserve.

He takes ... on creeps you would be afraid to even look at.

He takes ... time away from his family to keep you safe.

He takes ... your injured child to the to the hospital.

He takes ... the graveyard shift without complaint because it's his turn.

He takes ... his life into his hands daily.

He takes ... you home when your car breaks down.

He takes ... time to expalin why both your headlights have to work.

He takes ... the job no one else wants, telling you a loved one has died.

He takes ... criminals to jail.

He takes ... in sights that would make you cry. (Sometimes he cries too, but he takes it anyway because someone has to)

He takes ... memories to bed each night that you couldn't bear for even one day.

He takes ... time to explain to his family why he can't make the ball game his child is in and why he has to work on the holidays when other parents are off.

SOMETIMES HE TAKES A BULLETT...

And, yes, occasionally he may take a free cup of coffee.

If he is lucky he takes retirement.

Then one day he pays for all he has taken, and God takes him.

Hi Baby,
I still can't believe you are not here with us. No matter what we do in honor of you, it is still not enough. I need to just hold your face, hands, feet...to give you a BIG hug and soft kiss. I want to hear your voice. I need you. It's that simple!

Selfish as this seems, I know GOD and I know you are in a better place. I have to believe you or another greater being were watching over me in Atlanta,I was just two blocks over from the shootings, then today I was working in probably the worst part of my home town and on this small church sign it read "DEATH IS NOT A PERIOD, ONLY A COMMA"(wow)Then last night I drove everyone crazy with my sad self. I came across an old-yellowish paper that almost sounds like a poem or lyrics to a song in your drawer; I read it to your Mom last night and we both agreed that only one or two lines sounded familar. I am too emotional to post it now. Maybee tonight I'll get myself together. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I LOVE YOU SWEETIE,

Happy Easter-I know I'm a couple of days late. Easter was really hard, Mom had a really hard time with you not being here. We all miss you so much Greg. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday you were aggravating the mess out of me and others it seems like so long ago. I miss you so much, and I know everyone else does as well-watch over us!

Do believe I'll never leave you
Always I'll be in your heart.
Don't forget my soul is near you,
And so we'll never be apart.


As the days come and go and the world moves on, I know your still here, you'll never be gone.

On the night the Angel came and took your hand, We cried as you left for an unknown land.
But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight, For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

Dear Medlin family,
Early last year I met you at the race track in West Memphis. They were honoring Greg and Mike and some other fallen officers. I just wanted to let you know that I think of you often. I'm in Southaven a lot and I see the car with the memorial sticker on it. I thought I was the only one who did that!! I had one made up for Mike and it's on the back of my truck. Even if it's just for a second, it's good to know that people see our stickers and are aware of our blue angel.
I hope their has been some healing for all of you. I will always have you in my thoughts.

Shannon,

Thank you for your post. I feel the same way you do. I wish some could understand the heart is not separated into categories. Love is Love. No matter who you are to the person.

line 3 of 1 Cor 13 tells us it does not matter if we possess everything this would offers, we have or are nothing if we don't have love or love others.

My view is we will all be TOGETHER enjoying God's grace in heaven, so why not put the stupidity aside and be together here on earth?

All the ugly feelings don't exist in heaven. Up there we will only know joy, love, and every other tremendous feeling.

I'm sorry you couldn't find us. Try the below, maybe it will help.

Greg is in heaven smiling down on you and his family. I'm very glad to read you will be in DC with his mother. Both of you hold onto each other and your love for Greg. He's with both of you, and everyone else who has him in his heart.

I know her pain must be very deep, along with all of his family. A part of her went when he did, but so did a part of everyone else who loves him. Being a mom myself. I understand the horror and pain of losing your child. We watch them grow first inside us, then from the moment they enter this world. We watch them and the joy they give us just doing the littlest thing.

Mrs. Medlin I'm sincerly sorry you had to join the survivor family and had your Greg ripped from you also.

I hope you have found comfort in other parents who know your pain. I know if you ever had a chance to meet Scott's parents they will try to be as helpful to you as they can. Scott's mother is one of the sweetest people I've ever met.

To all of Greg's family and Shannon. Stay strong, Greg didn't leave, you just cannot see him. He's there whenever you need him.

I like to think they can get around more now. He's there for everyone whenever, where ever they need him, and at the same time.

Hugs to everyone,
Monica

4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends

Officer Medlin thank you for your service and dedication. You will be missed and never forgotten. May your family, girlfriend, and everyone who loves you stay strong in the memories and love you shared with them.

I lost my fiancée, Scott Stewart, in August of 2002. There not a day that goes by without him in my heart and mind. I understand the pain your girlfriend must feel from being ripped from you to soon. The support and love from others who know my pain have helped tremendously.

Shannon, if you ever feel the need to reach out to others who know your pain, please contact me and other s/o’s. A search on yah groups will bring you to us. Just enter the below as it is.

Always remember as long as your heart beats Greg will be with you. He’s there everyday in your heart.

Hugs,
Monica

Greg
Was looking through some things the other day and found something you gave me and I laughed because I remember how it was given to me, I have a plaque your mother gave to me which stays in my curio and is for all to see. I did not have the pleasure to know you for as long as some but the time I did have was a real blessing for me. Thank you and keep us all safe because I know you are watching all of us down here and probably thinking of a way to play some type of prank on us.
