Reflections for Police Officer George August Tessier, III
Man, how I still miss you George. I still laugh and have great memories on how much fun we had together. When Katrina hit, I wish you had been with us. Even in that gloomiest hour, you would have been a light shining, making others feel so much better.
You're 40 years old now. The legacy you left behind words alone can't describe, but we still think of you.
Love you and still miss you. :(

It is hard to believe that it has been over three years since your accident. I can't use the word gone, because you are always here in our thoughts, prayers, and memories.... I look forward to the day we can see each other again.....

Oh how I wish you were here to celebrate your birthday today. I would have spared no expense to celebrate the dreaded big 40 with you.
Can't begin to tell you how much I still think of you on a daily basis, couldn't even sleep last night knowing it was the eve of your birthday and thinking about all the fun we had over the years. Stayed with your Mom and Susan back in March, Susan and I went to Tony Roma for dinner one night and were laughing about how you and I would go from one Tony Roma to another for the free birthday meal. Three years gone and you are still cracking me up and making me tear up at the same time.
You are not forgotten and you are still my best friend.
I love ya brother!

Well the SEASON is upon us once again and you are missing in action. I can't begin to tell you how much you are missed, especially during this time of year.
Mom and I are not the only ones that miss you Baby Boy, your friends and extended family reflect on your life as much as we do. It is evident that you have a left a large hole in our hearts.
This is not the time of year that I should be sad, but I can't help but fill up when I think about you. You were a large part of my life and no one could ever fill that void. I just want you to know that you were, are and always will be loved. I know that you knew the bond between us was extremely strong, I only wish that I could tell you I love you once again...
Merry Christmas "Little Brother" until we meet again.

It has been over 2 years since your tour of duty ended and I know your loved ones have thought of you each and every day. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten as heroes never die. Keep watch over all your loved ones and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line.

Coo Coo Coo,
Two years havee already passed. Man it just don't seem like your not with us anymore! You know it's kind of like a long vacation or lengthy business trip you went on. I can't wait till you get back.
Everyday of my life I look at the memories of you and I together plastered all over the walls in my home/office. Your pictures are hanging proudly among the rest of my family. After all my boy, I always did consider you a member of my family. Funny how things are, Nicholas constantly reminds me of the last message you left on my voicemail. It was you saying, "Coo Coo Coo, call me back man!"
Boy, you just don't know how much I wish I would have called you back the night before you were taken from us.
Love, Luck, & Laughter.............

I e-mailed Scott after I read his reflection. You and he could not have been any closer if you were brothers. Donald sent out an e-mail for everyone to say a prayer on this second anniversary of your death.
I miss you Baby Boy. Your love and laughter rings in my heart and my head. No one could ever take your place. You will eternally be my Baby Brother.
Love,
Sue

Happy 39th Birthday Jorge!
In honor of your birthday I watched your favorite movie again. Never caught my attention previously but during this viewing one particular line by Maximus struck me as especially true of you.
"WHAT WE DO IN LIFE ECHOES IN ETERNITY"
You had such a charismatic personality, and impacted the lives of so many people, that you can rest assured that the memory of George Tessier lives on in each of us; as well as with the people whom we share our stories of you with.
Those of us privileged enough to call you a friend will never stop celebrating your birthday or mourning you’re EWO anniversary.
Your passing has left a void in all our lives, and there is not a day that passes in which you are not in my thoughts, but I take comfort in the knowledge that we will see you again some day, continue to watch over us all until then.
I love ya brother,

Happy 39th Birthday Little Brother,
That hole you left in my heart just can't seem to be filled. July is just not the month for me anymore. It used to be we celebrated a lot of birthdays and anniversaries. Funny how time and events has made such a change in my life.
You are on my mind all the time, but today I just couldn't shake you. I told quite a few stories to co-workers of your off-colored behavior. Only you could have done such things and gotten away with it. We sure did laugh at some of your antics. I guess what I love is the fact that you never considered the consequence. I kind of wish I had that part of your spirit, because that part of you will live on in everyone who ever knew and loved you...Family and Friends.
Today you would have been 39, and Friday the 14th you will be gone two years. I love you more than life itself and know that there will be a day when we will meet again. Until that time comes, you will live on in my heart and my soul.
Love,
Sue

CooCooCooo,
You know Georgie it's kind of funny how rarely a day goes by when for some crazy reason the thought of you crosses my mind. We shared so many memories together. From the most serious to some of the hedious. If I have said it once, I have said it a million times...I wish my boy Georgie was still here! The trips we planned, the ideas we shared, not to mention the dreams we hoped for.
I can write to you for hours reflecting on the times that were the most important to both of us, but I won't. Instead, I'll continue to drop in to check on you, and every now and then I'll even add a comment or two.
Love, Luck & Laughter to ya my brother,

Everyday at 5:00 A.m., I remember George. That was the time he would call me to wake me up so I wouldn't be late to roll call as I always was. I had a special ring tone on my cell phone leting me know that my boy was waking me up. Usually the first words out of his mouth was "Wake up my chalupa Gay lover is time to go and make big Al's life misserable". know that his no longer with us my cell phone still goes off at 5:00 A.m., with the same ring tone (the days that I have to work the day watch) which reminds me that if it wasn't for George I would still be sleeping and big Al coursing At me for being late.
George Just remember Lo mejor de mi vida fue aver conosido el verdadero rey del French Quarter y de la vida loca...el pionero de Bourbon.. SPQR
