Officer Laurie,
Today marks the third anniversary of your EOW. I am deeply touched by reading the reflections left by your children, which tells me that you were a man of honor, dedicated to your family. Thank you for also being dedicated to average citizens in keeping us safe. You will always be remembered, not only by your family, friends and department, but by people everywhere across the country.

Well, you've left quite a legacy...kids that love and miss
you deeply. Any one can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy. Congrats on that one!
Thanks for your service and know you have left a huge
void.

Hey dad, wow I can’t believe that its been three years already, some day’s it feels like it has been forever and today it feels like it was just yesterday, we are having the annual balloon release for you on Sunday, it’s amazing that people who never got to meet you come to participate in the celebration of the life you lived. Well Remi is getting so big she is into everything now; Nathan and I are doing well I can’t believe we have been married for a year now, time fly’s so fast. I guess I better go I miss you and love you so much, love always your daughter Katy.

Hey, Old man its been a while since I've written to you. Nothing personal just busy with life, lberty, and the pursuit of happiness. LOL Anyway Things are going pretty good here, work is awesome as usual. The family's good Sue and I think and speak of you as often as possible. Zoe's five now and Jeffery is ten.

Hey Dad well let see where do I start, Mom is going to have surgery on May third. She is having her gallbladder removed, I guess when you turn 45 things go down hill from there hehe. Well Remi is getting so big I swear all she does is eat, she is so chunky. Nathan and I are doing well, we still haven’t heard from nick I don’t know what’s up with him. Bryan and Sue are having Zoe’s birthday party this weekend I can’t believe she’s going to be five time goes by so fast. I miss you so much, well I guess I’ll go, I love you very much

Pop,

Can I call you pop? I did not get the opportunity to know you as well as I would have liked. I hear about you and all of your crazy adventures in life from Katy, Bryan and Shirlene all of the time. Man you were crazy! I sometimes wish that I could have been a part of your life maybe you would have kicked my butt for chasing after Katy but she is well worth an ass kickin. Bryan sure makes a good cop, he loves going after the bad guys. I had the pleasure of riding along with him a couple of times and man what a rush. I had such a good time that I tested for Patrol @ Roanoke P.D. I made it thru the physical testing but failed the written. After that I considered Benbrook but was discouraged and did not test. I suppose it was not meant to be. Katy and I have a beautiful daughter and are very proud to have given her Ray for a middle name. I think to myself if I could request any certain person as her guardian Angel it would be you. May you rest in peace and watch over us as we move forward in life. I will do the best that I can to provide for Katy and Remington we live in a small home near Lake Worth. Sometimes it just seems like bills, bills, bills. But when I get to feeling down, Katy and Remi are always there to put me back on track.

Nate,

It's hurting us all to see this. Three brothers in one weekend (Gunfire). I know you guys are up there watching us. It just hurts so bad. And another DFW Brother lost on the job. Please be there with us, and if something does happen, take us up there with you guys. Watch over us. Take care of that son of yours that is keeping these streets safe too.....

I wish i knew the answers to the reason why,

Hey, old man its been a little while since I wrote anything on here. Things have been going good, kids are growing like weeds and sue is doing good. I have really missed you alot lately, thinking bout old times and times we could have shared together. I am loving police work and am also part of our honor guard.

Its hard to look at your picture sometimes, I usually break down. Anyway just wanted to tell you that I love you and I miss you. Bryan

hey dad! it has been a while since i have written anything. i think about you everyday , especially lately. there have been so many blessings and accomplishments around here lately but it doesnt seem right celebrating without you here. Little Remi is here and she is so precious! I am so proud of Katy and Nathan as I know you are watching them from heaven. Mom is doing good, I have been thinking about her often lately..be sure to hold her at night. Bryan, well dad I am so proud of him. He works so hard for this family, I know he gets that from you. You instilled so many good traits in him ( but why did you have to give him the smart ass part of you)! The kids are doing well, Jeffrey is making all A's and B's and little zo zo will be starting kindergarten later on this year can you believe it. Well I started decorating the hall in our new house. I am dedicating it to you. I have only done a little. I have many more ideas but nothing seems to live up to the memory of you. I love you so much dad and I wish you were here. I am a little worried about Nick... check in on him ok. I sont think i will ever get over the heartache that i wont get to hear your voice, see your face everyday. Come visit me in my dreams ok. I miss you dad!

love you always
