Isaac was a loving man, husband, brother, son, father and friend. He cared dearly about everyone he loved. Isaac was a man of joy everytime I saw him he was always smiling. He liked to look at the good things, but also deal with the bad, but in his own way. I admired Isaac so much I wanted to become a police officer because of him. He inspired me and still does. I am going to full fill that goal just for Isaac and when I make it I will dedicate it to him. I love the families and may God be with them in this time.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Officer Espinoza's wife, daughter, parents and sister. My heart truly breaks just knowing that another law enforcement officer has paid the ultimate price while protecting us. I, too, know the agony and mind numbing pain that you are experiencing at this time as I unfortunately walked a similar path almost 8 months ago when my son was killed in the line of duty. Please know that Officer Espinoza was a true hero and did a job that only a chosen few can do. God bless.

It is hard to belive that I have known you for nearly 20 years. I will
always remember the times we had at the R-Ranch with your sister and
cousins.

It is so upsetting to find out that you have left this world at such a young
age. But I know that you are in a better place.

My prayers go out to your wife and family.

My heart breaks everytime I see that we've lost another, and reality sets in that I could be next. But everyday I still put on this uniform and do the job I was called to do, and pray that I will come home to my little girl at the end of my shift. To Officer Espinoza, you gave the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that your streets and family would be protected, God Bless you, you are TRUELY a hero. To your wife and parents: I cannot begin to imagine the hurt that you have right now. My heart goes out to you and I am praying for comfort for you. To Officer Espinoza's daughter: Your father gave his life to try and make a better future for you and your family. He will always be with you even though you cannot see him. His spirit will live on in you. God be with you and keep you in your hour of need.

The general public scrutinizes and immediately attacks the actions of the U.S. military fighting men and women in Iraq, and how the Commander in Chief is leading our troops to their deaths, but they fail to understand the purpose, the reasons, and the necessity of their presence. They hold signs shouting "No More War", "Stop Killing our Troops", etc...but what about the homefront war that our local law enforcement agencies are battling everyday. Do we easily forget what THEY sacrifice for our communities, for our neighborhoods, and our cities? If you must protest, protest for ALL of us as we all are fighting for YOUR freedoms. Thank-You Officer Espinoza for your contributions in keeping us safe and believing that our freedom is priceless. We salute you for standing tall and proudly wearing the uniform. Our heart felt thoughts to you and yours, and to those that knew you well.

Again, I'm very sorry for your loss.

Very sad tragedy indeed. What a coward!! My most heartfelt sympathy goes to the wife of Officer Espinoza, his little baby girl, family, and co-workers. May God bless you all.

I'm still here.....

Although you cannot see me,
I'm still here..
Although you cannot hear me,
I'm still here....
Although I cannot wipe the tears from your face,
I'm still here...
Although I cannot bandage your hurts,
I'm still here...
Although I cannot cover you up when you are cold,
I'm still here...
Although I'm not here in the flesh,
I'm still here...
I'm that gentle breeze that brushes up against your cheeks, giving you a kiss, and letting you know that I love you.
When you smile for no reason, just remember that it's me letting you know that I'm still here......

They have said that there is no greater pain than when a parent loses a child.
I have often called the men and women of Bayview station my kids. I have two children at home and 125 at work.
Isaac was a good cop, a good friend and a good man.

PLEASE WATCH OVER THOSE OF US WHO MUST STILL WALK IN HARMS WAY...

No greater love than for one man to lay down his life for another. I hate to see another name to be added to this site. The "Blue Line" got thinner the day you were taken away from your family, friends, and co workers. Be at peace now, we have the watch.
