Tom,
It's been a couple years now since I received the phone call that changed so many lives. I will always remember you fondly from my childhood. The times that I waited in the backyard by the crabapple tree for you to get off of work. You and I didn't do alot of talking but always know that I loved my Uncle Tom very much. Over the years I saw you around the town and always wanted to talk to you, but never had the courage to just walk right up and open my mouth. I should have, but I didn't. Know that you are loved and missed by every one of us and we are all sticking together to help each other when we need it. Rest Well Uncle Tom, I love you!

Tom,
With Scott's untimely death, I have been thinking about you and Deb a lot this week. She is always in my prayers. Look down on her and be with her. Grant her peace. And what about Charlie? "Cheer, Cheer for Old Notre Dame!" They are going to be great this year. We miss seeing you out there. You are wearing a new uniform now, one as white as snow...

We trust in plumed procession
For such the angels go--
Rank after Rank, with even feet--
And uniforms of Snow.

Hey Tom, its me. I know that today was the hardest day for all officers in law enforcement and the family and friends of Scott that loves him so very much, to have to lay him to rest. It is the hardest thing on this earth is to let go of the one you love. I know that you have opened your arms to welcome Scott to a place that there is no pain and hurt.I know that You, Bryan, Randy,Paul and all of the other law enforcement men and women that have been taken from us have saved a special place for him.Please watch over us all. The hardest thing to listen to is the 10-42.There is no person on this earth, unless you belong to the brotherhood that will understand what them words really mean. It is so unfair.No man or woman, wife or husband, mother or father, son or daughter, brother or sister, or any other family or friend relation, should have to listen or hear those words again.Why does life have to be so cruel to the ones that you love? Tom, I just wanted you to know that you are missed so very much. You and I both know that this has not been an easy time on your family either. It only seems like yesterday that we were doing this all over again. Tom, words are not enough to say THANK YOU for being our HERO.May GOD bless us all and once again please watch over the MPD and all of us to keep us safe. Until next time, Tom take care and we all pray for peace.

April 28, 2006

Tom, its me again, I wanted to say thank you for watching over us. Again another tragic day has come to all brothers and sisters of the Police Force. I know that you and Bryan are standing in Heaven waiting for Scott. Take care of him and his family at this very sad time. When the death of an office strikes the community once again, It is gut wrenching, because the men and women in blue are out there on the mean streets trying to serve and protect us, busting there butts for us and to try to get the criminals off the streets and it just seems like a thankless job and some idiots just dont care.Well Im here to tell you THANK YOU so very much for the job that you had done for us.Once again Tom, you and Bryan will never be forgotten And we thank you so very much. Until next time, Take care of your new brother that has just came to you.

April 24, 2006

Tom it has been a bad day today. It actually all started last night when Scott Severns was shot in such a horrible way. He was off duty and minding his own business. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. those sons of bitches should be hung. I just go the phone call about 30 min ago from dispatch and Scott just passed away about 10 min prior. Please meet him so he isn't coming in alone. Watch over him as you have watched over so many in your lifetime. Our county will mourn yet again for a senseless act. Keep looking over all of us and especially my step-father. More and more I worry about him. How many years has it been that he has said he is going to retire? I think he and Rick Hurley wouldn't know what to do being retired. Anyway, I must go now. Know my thoughts are with you and Bryan at this time and now with Scott and his family.

HAPPY EASTER TOM!!!

April 17, 2006

Tom

Today is Easter and I wish you were here to enjoy this day with your family and friends. I sit here with tears falling from my eyes after I read the reflections for you and Bryan. I pray for the safe return of my husband to my loving arms after work from the MPD. I pray for all the
other officers to do the same. The world is changing and also the City but not always for the better. I just hope you are up above looking down on us and taking care of each and one of the guys in blue. I dont believe I have the
strength and courage like Deb has to handle and survive the loss of a loved officer. I hope nobody every has to endure
the pain she has had. Take care of her and the rest of the family at the MPD.

Tom, its me again and I just wanted to say hi and I want you to know that you are missed by alot of people. Sometimes it is hard for people to show their emotions and how they truely feel, but just know that you are loved and missed very much.You will never be forgotten. Can you believe that the Irish have started their spring practie already. Irish all the way baby. This is going to be a very good year for them,we both know that. Well until next time

April 5, 2006

I have had a tough time dealing with this. I am not taughing to Tom. When he left us it was more than a difficult time for me. I really can't imagine what youtr family and LOVED ones have been through. I have had a tough time resently, both physically and mentally. Our deptatment has gone to shit...
Tom, You connot imagine how bad the department's moral is. If I can tell you anything possitive it is that Deb thinks about you everyday, and is still in love with your dumb ass. I really think she is doing better, at least I pray.
Take care brother and please be at rest, I visit your grave every week, I am on Days and I work Crash car almost every day. God has blessed you Tom Roberts. You WILL always be my friend. Save a place for me please.

Hey Tommy, It has been a while, but you are missed so much. I can't believe that the Steelers are in the running for the XL. What about the BUS? I cant believe that they made it.We both know that JB will get his first SB ring.I know that ND will be so proud of him. Well until later Tommy I miss you and like I said that you are missed so very much.Until next time See ya later. I hope that the Steelers will win, but after tonight I would like to see the SeaHawks make it.

Hey Tommy, What about the IRISH. We both know that next year they will have an awesome team.Do you believe that they lost? I hope that you enjoyed the game as much as I did. I know that they played their hearts out and for the first year under Charlie they have done good. No new coach for the first year has went to bowl game and won.Next year will be the best. I just wish that you were here to see that.I know that you will guide them to saftey like you do us, and GOD bless us all.We miss you so very much. Until next time

HAPPY NEW YEAR UP THERE!!!

January 2, 2006

Tommy, every time I look at you and your picture on this memorial it is so hard to believe that you were taken from us.I remember the times that we used to talk in the middle of the night, maybe about dumb stuff or not,but we always had a good laugh or 2.I wish that we could have been together more and found out about what we could have been like in the furture. You and I both know that we had fun while we were with each other, but how our lives together were not meant to be. Tom, you had made me laugh and at the same time made me feel good,that I will never forget you. I want to thank you so much. I know that since you have been gone that people are so fake and only think about themselves, wow you would not have expected that from the ones that you loved. May you always watch out for us and the ones that you love.(you know who they are).I hope that you have a good day with God and I will be thinking about you.Until later, Go IRISH

December 30, 2005
