Watching the funeral services for the four officers killed, it all came back to your funeral. So very clear on how it still affects us, the tears just rolled down our cheeks. Getting close to your anniversary, it seems like it was yesterday. Your are always in our hearts and our prayers Isaac, and up to this day we always have something to say about you, we will always remember you and keep you in our prayers.

I think of you everyday and even more so when something horrific happened this past Saturday. The man above had summoned four officers to serve on his team. I pray for the families and friends and that he comforts them in days ahead.

Today is one of those days. Even though I haven't written in a while I think about you through out my day everyday. Every Holiday, Every special event in our daughters life..Another year has come since you left. So many things have happened. Today I thought of you more than usual. We had a nice dinner at your moms house and we talked about you and Ikaika. It made me sad. But we love spending time with them. and Isabella loves them so much! Bella is getting so big and beautiful. She is smart and has the biggest heart ever. She is an amazing child. God I'm so grateful for her. We talk about you everyday and not a night goes by that we don't say a prayer for you and all the officers that are out there working. We miss you so much!! I'm sorry for not writting more often, it's still hard to believe that you are gone. I'd just rather remember our last night together. I will always love you!

I became familiar with Isaac when I read his story a few years ago in the news.Isaac was, and is, an inspiration to me and no doubt to many other law enforcement officers.Whenever a dangerous and difficult call comes over the radio from dispatch I think to myself...."Isaac would go..."

Its been 5 years already . You are and always will be in my heart and mind. So much has happened these past couple years that I wish I could've shared with you. I look with hope when our families get to see you again in Gods presence.

We are in 2009, almost 5 years since that tragic day; the day your death changed my life forever. I need to say something and I was wondering if you could help me. I don’t think I ever said Thank you to all the people who came to my family’s aid. I want to thank all the Public who came to our aid and made that tragic day a little less of a loss. I want to thank all the San Francisco Police Department, who stayed so close to us and who became my entire family’s family. I cannot express the love we all felt from all of you.

I want to especially thank my department, The San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, who came to my aid. Who collected and gave money to Isaac’s wife and daughter. I want to thank those who went to Isaac’s house and helped work on his home, helping finish his dream home for his wife and child. I want to thank those who stood by me and held me up when I was falling apart, and to those who worked for me and watched me fall apart, cry at muster, and than turn around and work a little harder for me, so my job would be a little easier. I want to thank my boss, the sheriff, who came to my aid when there was hardly anything left in me, and helped me get it together again. I want to thank all those who came to Isaac’s funeral, to the judges who closed their courts so my co-workers could come to my nephew’s funeral.

When Isaac was killed, a little piece of me was killed too. But through time and all the kindness everyone showed helped me though Isaac’s death. I know I never said it, but I want everyone to know, even if it has taken 5 years to say it, Thank You for all you did. I only have love for all of you. God Bless you all.

As we go through the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I sit and think about our brother that won't be celebrating with us. I send my love and support to the family, and I pray that as we celebrate, we also remember that Isaac and his family are not forgotten. Isaac is looking down on us and smiling, he is laughing when any of you think about the good memories and the happy times you have shared. Although I did not work directly with Isaac, I know the kind of officer he was, the kind of family man he was, and the kind of friend he was. There is a blue light in my window this season to honor a person that gave of himself for the community. To the family, please know that you are in our prayers. You may not see all of us, but trust me when I say that if you are in need of anything, we are here for you. Once you are a part of a family, especially the law enforcement family, you are a member forever. Until we see Isaac in the land of Glory may you find comfort in knowing that God sees all, knows all, and does not make mistakes. We just need to trust in Him. Have a Blessed Christmas.

Dear Son:

I have a new picture in my mind.
I'm not leaving you behind.
You're in front of me,
And I'm heading toward you.
I have a new comfort and a strength
With the hope of you before me.

In the twinkling of an eye
This life will be finished
And a new life
filled with peace and fellowship
for all eternity awaits us.
Thanks be to God who sent us Jesus
so this could be possible.

My cup runneth over with hope
When I think about that glorious time
Beyond words and beyond imagination
When we can all be together again.

Until then
I'll carry you in my heart
as I did before
Still do
and will do for all time.

I love you,

Mom

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones during this holiday season. Every day is a challenge for your loved ones and even more so during this time of the year. I have decorated the outside of my home in blue lights and one of those lights in burning brightly in your honor. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones.

Happy Thanksgiving! At the table this year I will be thankful to have had you as a cousin. Thankful for the momories I chuckel about. Thankful for the stones in my yard. And, I will not be angry for waiting for you, like I was before.

I am thankful for all that I learned from you while you were alive, and sadly thankful for what I have learned from your death.

I miss you!

Hi Isaac,

It's been a little while since I have written to you, but I thought I would take out some time during my day and read and write to all of our WARRIORS on our Wall of Warriors. I am sorry that I haven't posted anything lately but I do want you and your family to know that I think about you and them every day. I have strategically placed your memorial badge sticker on the keyboard of my CAD and every day that I open up my computer and go in service it is there as a reminder that I am blessed to have this career (regardless of the drama from time to time LOL) I am blessed to have such an incredible family and incredible friends and I am blessed to be Saved and I am blessed to be able to share my life with those that I love. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and thank you for silently reminding me that I need to be humble and I need to continue to help and protect those who are less fortunate than I am..... I hope that your family and friends are doing well. And I appreciate their reflections.

Take care My Friend...
