Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I don't know why I am typing this because you are watching and know everything that is going on here.

Your beloved dog Xena is with you and you guys are back to snuggling I'm sure.

The City had the Awards Ceremony and I received your medal. I know how much we hated those things but I went and I held my head high for you.

I went to CO to see your little buddy niece compete in the state gymnastics meet and she did great. Both girls talk about you all the time, they miss Uncle Don. They talk about hunting and hiking. You are proud of them I know.

My heart aches for you. I love you and miss you.

Honey,

It has been 1 year since I lost you. It has been a very hard week which you know. David is now with you as well. I went to the hospital on the 10th to try to show some comfort to his family. That was hard considering it was exactly 1 year since your accident.

On the 11th I flew to D.C. for Police Week where you were honored and your name is on the wall along all the other officers who lost their lives in 2004. What a wonderful thing. I know you hated those kinds of things.

I tried to do some site seeing on the 12th, but couldn't handle it so I went back to the hotel and let the rest go on. One year since I lost you that day. Larry, Dottie, Rob, Ron, Ann, Valerie, Elizabeth, Chris, Alissa, Katianna, & Breanna were all there for me.

During the ceremony at the Captial President Bush talked about your incident to the entire crowd. We were all shocked and so pleased with what he said. I meet him and thanked him for mentioning you out of all the other 150 + officers, he hugged me and kissed me on the check. It was wonderful and made the very difficult trip worth all the stress and heartache.

I miss you and love you,
Lisa

This has been a difficult week for your family - it's hard living with what happened to you and knowing how much different your life would have been today if you had lived - the personal growth you were feeling and the goals you had set. There's some comfort in knowing that if there's a way, Dad and Grandma are with you and their love was the healing kind. I hope heaven is a place of laughter and comfort. You can take comfort in knowing we are making Mom as comfortable as we can and making things as easy for her as we can, we take her your cookies.

Love and peace, Linda

Well there, it is coming upon your one year since your passing. I have had the great honor of becoming close friends of Lisa. She is very supportive of me as I hope I am for her. I think I drive her a little nuts sometimes but I do think it keeps her young!

Police week is near, and you will be honored there. I will be there with Lisa and it will be an honor to be there with her to support her. It is a shame I did not get a chance to meet you here on earth because I think we would of clicked. Your probably would of thought I was a little crazy too......but we would of been laughing.

Your tragic passing has given many of us a gift of your wife's friendship. And for that I thank you. She misses you, loves you, and honors you in her life every day. We watch over her for you, even though at times she wants to be rid of us.......We will always support her. So be at peace, and do not worry, as she will be taken care of.

HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY for the 2nd one. I'll never forget that trip to San Carlos Mexico to get married on the dive boat. It was a great week, thank you for that. I can't believe it was 12 years ago.
Love you and miss you honey.

I can't tell you how much you are missed. You are a true hero and an inspiration to all. You were a great man and so much fun to hang out with. You really were an amazing person and I know I'll see you on the other side. I pray God is letting you hunt up there! You will always be in our hearts. Even though you don't want us to, we will always remember you with admiration and love. You are our hero. We love you. Rest in Peace.
---p.s. Duke and Xenia miss you greatly.

Well Buddy; it has been almost 11 months since you left us. I still can't believe your gone. My heart felt like it had broken into a thousand pieces when I received the news of what happened to you. Our lives had taken us in different directions over the past few years but you and Bob will always have a special place in my heart. We all went through many trying times in the first part of our careers but you, Bob and I were always there for each other and we got things figured out. As you know, Lisa allowed Bob and I to be there with you when it was time for you to go with God. It was one of the hardest things I have done but at the same time, I was honored and proud to be able to see you on your way to heaven. I know you would have been there if it happened to me. By having this happen to you, I am a changed person for the better. I feel ashamed I have not been a better friend to you and others. I don't take things for granted anymore. Thank you Don. Please save room up there for me. Also say hello to John Domblisky for me. I will never forget your friendship and loyalty. Take care my friend!

Don, I did not know you when you were here but I want to say "Thank you". Thanks for sharing your wonderful wife with me and my family. She entered into our lives shortly after you and my husband joined each other with God. She helps through the good and bad days and for that I am grateful. Always know she loves you dearly and misses you so!

Don,
You were known by those you didn't really know. I knew of you and will always remember you. When you would fly over and buz your house to let Lisa know you were there and loved her I would run out of my house to see and have my grandsons wave.
Your sacrifice has given me a new friend in your wife,Lisa. She is a great person, but you know that.It is good to have a friend who understands the pain because they've walked the same miles. Thank you, Don and Thank you Lisa.
To that which makes us who we are and the hope filled days to come.
God bless you.

During my short residence in Phoenix, I was deeply saddened to hear of a veteran officer losing his life in the line of duty. During this time, I was still a security officer, but my heart went out to Officer Schultz and his family as I grieved for the loss of a hero.

Don,

It was this time last year that you and Connie took me on a CO. I laughed today when I remembered "the Chair" and watching Southpark, laughing out loud while everyone else thought we were crazy. You told me that I could come up again this year so we could see the lights while we flew. I am sad I never got the chance, but I know that you have the best view of those lights where you are now. You are missed every day.

Lisa, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that each day your good memories keep you going.

You came into my life when the last thing I wanted was a little brother to help take care of. You won me over, taught me that babies are all about love, and you loved to laugh. That laugh is what I remember most about you. When you were little it was pure joy, when you were a boy it was silly, when you were a teenager it got you thru the uncomfortable times. It became a part of you. Our world is a sadder place without it.

You became a person with a solid set of values and a curiosity and a love of an active life. I'm proud of the soldier and peace officer you became. You should still be here for the adventures of middle age, to finally grow into your premature balding, to explore all you would have become. Your family loves and misses you.

Thank you to the officers and others who have conveyed their respects. Please know you have our prayers and thanks for the work you do.

Don, it was with great sadness that I read Lisa's letter to you. After spending hours and hours talking with you I know that you wanted only to quietly retire and live on top of your mountain with Lisa. From that vantage point the two of you could be alone and safe from all the problems in the world. Don, Lisa is also correct in that you wanted all to ask "who?" very soon after you were gone.

I hate to disagree with Lisa (you understand why) but in your quest to remain unknown you have failed. There will always be those that don't remember us. It may be a week after we retire or it may take years but there will always be those that forget. Maybe they never cared in the first place or maybe they are to involved to take the time to remember. Either way there will always be those that don't remember us when we are gone.

Don, you have not been forgotten. You made too many friends before you were taken from us. Don, friends don't forget friends. You and Lisa are constantly in our thoughts and conversations. We worry openly about Lisa and hope that she like us is begining to heal. We know that her life is now difficult and hope that she recogonizes the support your friends offer her.

Don, we will never be the same after the loss of you as a friend. We all remember you in a different way. It might be the flight over your house to check if Lisa is okay and all appears to be in order. It might be the "toast" to you at the end of a night out with friends. For me it is the smoke from my chimney and the comforting smell of your wood burning in my fireplace. It might be a glance at your memorial in the office or your picture on the wall.

Don, it does'nt matter what we use to remember. What matters is that your friends remember you and we always will. Lisa, you knew Don better than all of us. I just don't think you knew how much Don made some of us care.

Don, my friend, rest in peace. Lisa, please be at ease knowing that we will never forget our friend Don.
