Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Three years have passed since your EOW and you have not been forgotten by those that love you. If they could save all the tears they have shed since they lost you, I know there would be enough to fill a small pond where they could sit beside and think of all the memories of you. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

Hey B, I visited you yesterday and I tell you I had a rough time. I broke down like it was yesterday. I dont know if I will ever be able to come to terms with your absence, and how you left this world. I just pray that you stay close to all of our hearts. We truly miss you B.

Hey Officer Winder,

I remember how you and the Southwest crew always picked on me. You all were my family and I miss "home". As you see I have started a new life in Atlanta (6 years now). I truly miss you, Officer Gavin, and Officer Byrd. Just like I told Officer Byrd and Officer Gavin, I have the memorial pages posted on my locker. Everyday before I start my daily tour I look at the memorial pages. GOD Bless your family and continue to watch over your brothers and sisters in Blue.

Today it has been 3 years since P/O Winder was murdered. As I stood at his grave I reflected back on his service and Brian as a man. I can tell you that there was no better officer I have had the pleasure to work with than P/O Winder. He gave back to his neighborhood in a full measure. He was and still is in our thoughts and hearts. May his family find peace in knowing that Brain was a good guy and cop. And that we will always count him as part of our "Blue Family".

Hello Bear, Thank you, for traveling with me this past week as you always do. I felt your presents very strong. What can I say about the time passing by. 3 Years of hurt, anger and confusion still lying in my soul, but I still go on to do some of the things I know you would have done. Life has a totally different meaning for me now. I still thank God for the blessings he gives me like your sons and another day when I wake up to try to do his will. I miss that great smile, your laughter, and your great Bear Hugs. I have meant many strangers in 3 years that have said wonderful things about you. Am I surprised? No! It is nice to hear all the things you have done that people still remember and all the lives you have touched along the way that you didnot know how much of an impact you made in their lives. I Love You forever. Till we meet again My Bear. All My Love To You! Your Lulu

Hello Bear, It is almost Fathers Day and I know Brandon, Corey, and Kim will be down. I will try to keep their spirits up in someway. Corey is at his basic training now so hopefully with all that he has to do he willnot get down but hopefully he willnot forget the day. You were an outstanding father. Kim misses you so much right now in her life. She said to me on Tuesday that she wish you were here for her to talk to about certain things she doesn't discuss with me. I am trying to teach them how to talk to you without seeing you. It is very hard for children to do this because they don't want to communicate with a parent in this way. It is hard for an adult to do so I can't begin to imagine a child trying to learn to talk to a parent in this way. All I can do is keep trying. I Love you and miss you dearly. Your LULU

Hello Bear, Just needed to write you a few words. I don't like going to this website yet it gives me a little peace being able to write to you in this manner and it allows me to see and pay respect to all the other Law Enforcement who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I can't believe I have survived for almost 3 years without you. I wish you were here to see your sons growing, maturing, and doing their best. This is Brandons 4th year of football. He tries so hard and does well. I know he misses you standing on the field with the other fathers. He knows you are watching him from above when he says do you think dad saw me make that play? It takes everything I have to hold back the tears at his practices and games. I will continue to sit there for him to represent both of us in the heat and the cold. When the black butterfly flies across the field at times when he is practicing or at one of the games, I know that is you saying to me that I'm here watching with you. I miss you dearly. I know you are watching from above and your still taking care of your family, but it still doesnot take away any of the hurt. All My Love To You, Lulu

PLESE GIVE US ALL THE WISDOM AND COURAGE TO KNOW THAT WERE SUPPOSE TO REMEMBER HOW YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE NOT BY HOW YOU DIED.

Hello Bear, Corey looked good and has turned into a wonderful young man. I was glad to see him although I was not able to spend much time with him. He liked the gift I gave him from you. He was emotional. Continue to be with him as he leaves on Monday. You had a wonderful friend in Stanley and the boys have a great God father and I hope God continues to bless him and protect in his travels. All My Love To You, Lulu

Hello Bear, Well Your boy or our boy I will say did well. I am so very proud of him. I hope I will be able to give him a hug and kiss from both of us. I know he misses you and wishes you were able to see him physically. Please show him in someway that you are still with him and you will continue to guide him from above especially as he ventures on to another part of life in the military. I know you will continue to watch and protect him while he is away from home. Officer Powell is a blessing from above. I hope we will never loose contact with one another. Continue to look out for your fellow co-workers as the streets of Baltimore get worse. All my Love To You! Lulu

Hey B, I was a bit emotional yesterday and today. I stopped by your mom's house to give her a picture and she told me that your oldest son Corey was graduating with honors. I know that Corey was struggling there for a bit and I had pulled him aside several times , to try to persuade him to do better. I did this because I know that you wished and prayed that he make it through, by not just passing but with honors. Your boy has done it B! As a result I have a surprise for him that I don't want to disclose now, just in case he is reading this. I know that you are proud of him and I know that you will be with him on that special day. I am so proud of him too.
Your Friend, Le Tanya
