Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sorry I missed posting last May. Rob has been in the hospital, home now, but not doing well. Our family still speaks of you so fondly. We surely had some good times.

Sorry I did not leave a reflection this May. Rob has been in very poor health this spring & summer. Hard to believe it's been 20 years since you've been gone. Our family still speaks of you so fondly. We all enjoyed our time with you Don.

20 years ago, today you truly left this world. Some days it still feels fresh, other days, well.
Family has come and gone, friends have come and gone. Nothing stays the same I guess whether you are here or not. I feel like it would be easier if you were, so I do the best I can.
You didn't go out is some "blaze of glory" but that doesn't matter how. God called you home and left me for some purpose. I know some day we will be together again. Until them...

Don,
Rob and I have been thinking of you all month. Has it really been so long since you left us? I still remember with a chuckle of the time I trimmed your hair, what there was of it! We didn't always agree on things, but we have such good memories of you and how you accepted our family. (You should see our numbers now!)
All of our kids think of you so very fondly and the good times we had together. I think you would be proud to know that they've all grown into responsible, loving people, husbands, wives and parents.
Rest easy, my friend.

You are always in our hearts, especially this time of year. Some local high school kids didn't show up to help replace flags on first responder graves recently, so I pulled my boys from school and my daughter from the sitter and we did it the next day (Brian drove the boys in a fire truck for extra fun) . I told the kiddos about you and how much my heart hopes that there's a group of kids just like them out in Phoenix honoring your memory just like we were honoring our local heroes. I proudly wore your bracelet. You are missed....so much. I can't believe how long it has been. You were loved by all.

Well Don it's been another year. 19 years is hard to believe but it is. You are still and always missed. Thank you for watching over me. I've moved again looking for a place that feels like home. Thank you for being a part of my life.

Lisa - I will never forget Don's sacrifice to the community of Phoenix. He truly was a hero!

Hard to believe that another year has come and gone, 18 years that's a long time. I knew it would but it still hard to believe that fewer and fewer people remember. I know everyone in this position probably feels the same. You are my hero.

It has been quite some time since I left words here but not so long ago since I thought of you or spoke your name. In reflection, I think we were kindred spirits in being a little stubborn but that can work to a persons advantage if allowed; we did. Always in my thoughts was the determination you had to tackle any task I presented as your flight instructor. You and your " twin brother," Steve Konegni were a welcome challenge for me. Two more enthusiastic students I have never seen. Recently I watched a TV program where officers commemorated an officer's passing by each toasting with tequila shots. Funny, but a few of us did the same for you. Take care.

I am early this year to leave a reflection. Your memory comes up in our conversations, always with love .I remember cutting your hair (what there was of it!) when Lisa was laid up with her very broken leg & I flew out to help you guys. I thought of swimming in Lake Pleasant with our kids, you, Lisa & Bob. What fun we had. I heard about (then little) Sarah yelling at the rabbit up north to scare it away so that you & "Booger Bob" couldn't shoot it! There was the hike you took us into a tube cave up north. I was afraid of my claustrophobia, but it was huge. Then you told us to turn off our flashlights & be still. But Jenny, Sarah & I got the giggles! I'm certain we annoyed you, but you were always so patient! It's these little moments that come to mind. You were a blessing to Lisa, and we loved you for that. But you touched all of her family in some special way......I wonder if you had any idea. We miss you, Don.

Apparently when I do things from my phone it adds/removes things.
Another year has come and gone. You were a good man, friend, husband, partner and officer.

16 years ago, we came to AZ. for your nephew Philip's college graduation. We stopped by to see you before heading to Flagstaff. You were busy doing/fixing something as you often did, but you took the time to chat with us. It was always fun to spend time with you, we all felt so. But none of us knew that was the last time we would see you.
Your name often comes up in conversation in our family.....remember when Don......or that reminds me of Don Schultz......Then there's that pang of loss. But mostly a smile at fond memories and good times with you.
You will always be missed.

Sorry I'm really late, I was trying to ignore that it's been 15 years. Do you believe it! Sometimes it still seems like yesterday.
I was looking through a book where the author had signed it for my Dad and out fell a poem. My Dad's hand writing was on it. It made me think of you.

IN MY HEART
I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too

I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
Now all I have is memories
And a picture in a frame

Your memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart

Sorry to be late this year, Don. Life has gotten incredibly busy for many reasons, but the family never forgets you. You'd be surprised how often your name comes up among us, and always with love. Miss you.

When I first met Lisa and Don I immediately knew they were not only great people but they had a beautiful and wonderful relationship. They were very special to me and will have a piece of my heart for eternity. I will always love you Don and miss you. I hope Lisa will find peace and love again but we all know there will never be another Don. I think of you often Lisa and I love you and will always consider you a great friend.
Peace and love, Monica

March, April and especially May are such hard months. I can get through March and April pretty easy now but then comes May and I just can't hold it together some days. On the 10th you went to work, on the 12th I said good bye for the last time.
You are missed.

Don, our family always thinks of you this time of the year. But it doesn't take May to remind us you are not here. Back then, I'd been hoping for a miracle, but had just heard of your passing. I was in my car making a deposit for work when I heard the most haunting, beautiful, hard rock song (by Evanescense) on the radio which dealt with pain of a loved one's absence, and I broke down in tears. Whenever I hear that song, I am reminded you are gone, and the pain & sorrow we felt. But.....I remember we have so many good memories....and I believe we will see each other someday, where there is no pain, no sorrow..... just joy! We love you......always.
