Reflections for Detective William "Wally" Rolniak, Jr.
The 2 year anniversary is almost here. Some people say the time goes by quickly and seems just like yesterday, then there are those like myself where the time seems to have been an eternity. I know the heartbreak your family is feeling and all the tears they have shared. You will never be forgotten by those that love you nor will the Family Blue forget you. Keep watch over your family, protect them and help ease some of their grief. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten.

Keep watch over your family and wrap your wings around them and try and ease some of their pain. Also, keep watch over those still out on patrol.

Rolniak Family,
I wanted to stop in and leave a reflection to let you know we have been thinking about you during this holiday season. I have the exterior of my home decorated with Blue Lights, one of them has been lit for Wally since before Thanksgiving and will remain lit every night in his honor until after New Years. I remember the day Wally was called away as I was talking with my son Michael about it, little did I know that he would be called away from duty 6 months later. On 2/4/04, my first grand daughter Grace was born and Michael was so proud. So, as you can see, I will always think of Wally on that day for as long as I am here on this earth. He will never be forgotten. I wish there were some magic words I could offer to help mend your broken hearts, but we all know there are none. Every day we wake hoping it is from a bad dream but then face reality and go on with our lives. Our only solace is that we know how much they loved the job they both had. I ask that Wally and Mike keep looking down on us and protect us. We will never forget them.
