That terrible date has arrived for your loved ones. Once again they get through this anniversary of your EOW. I know you loved your job and that there is some solace that you lost your life doing something you loved so much. You are a true hero. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and protect them. Visit them in their dreams in living color to let them know you are okay and near them, watching over them every day. You will never be forgotten.

3 years and I feel like it was yesterday. I miss your silliness, and the joking manner in which you acted. I left NOPD and thought about giving up police work altogether. In Texas, for the 9 months I lived there, people were just mean. Very indifferent, when they learned I was NOPD or had recently quit, they treated me worse. Not caring that I did my job and stayed during and after the storm. Quitting only after things were so far gone I couldn’t bear it any more. Many officers from the agency I was to join in Texas would often ask if I knew you. Then they learned I was there for that night. Every time I think of walking up to that ambulance and watching the EMT’s carry you into Charity, watching your left arm fall off the gurney was the worst memory for me. I remember you on scene, but it was then I knew you were gone. And the rest which is too vivid in my mind to write, I miss you bruh. I hold back the tears because my little girl of 5 years is right next to me asking what I am doing and I tell her “writing to a friend”. She was 2 when it happened; you met her at my Cinco de Mayo party that year. I am proud to have met you, worked with you and having befriended you. I miss you. Strength and Honor……..1*

To Officer Johnson's mother,Raven,her partner Officer Summers, and all of Officer Johnson's family, friends and fellow officers , I share your pain and share in your loss. Her picture shows that she had eyes that smiled, she had a heart of gold, a love for life and her family , and a call to duty. Every time the wind blows , you feel sunshine on your face, or you see a star in the sky, you hear laughter, a baby cry, remember her and honour her. She is in heaven looking over all of you. Keeping you all close in prayer. May God Bless you for your sacrifice Officer Johnson, my sister in blue. "Eternal Rest Grant Unto Her Lord and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Her" and let her light shine upon all of you, and her memory will live in your hearts forever. Take Care & God Bless.

We were in the academy together, and I was her BIG sister, we sat next to each other, and we promised each other if something happened to one of us,we would help each others family. Well I have had a loss in my family, my mother, and it was hard, but I am now on target again.I hope it is not too late, I must finish this wish for my Baby "J" I know you will remember me, Samantha Johnson, because Toya would talk about you, and Raven all the time, and the things we would do, when we were in the academy.Well I only want to complete our wish, Please get in touch with me.

My Dearest Toy,

I read this page so often and it is still very hard for me to accept that you are not here. I miss you so much. Watching Raven grow up is the best gift you could have left me. She is you allll over again. it gives me goose bumps because I have learned how strong and how unique genes are. You are present in our hearts and always will be. I love you girl.

I know I have never met you but your reflection is saved to my bookmark page. Every once in a while i take a look at it and it upsets me to know that a coward has taken you from a family that loves you dearly and another family of Law Enforcement that loves and misses you as well. Every day before my shift and night when I go to bed I pray for your family and freinds that they will be ok and live a long healthy life. I can tell by reading your reflections your daughter has some wonderful people taking care of her. Well it is almost time for briefing so i will let you go for now. Happy belated birthday my sister and GODSPEED.

dear gun,
i hate you. you should have never taken my Mom away from me. It was never up to you to put me through this sadness. We had so many things to do, so many places to see. but you had to cut everything short. it was never necessary though. She never did anything to you.

dear gun,
I loved my Mom and i know She loved me. things were never suposed to end this way. We had big plans, great dreams. now nothing can be done.

dear gun,
why my Mom? She was so young. only 27.. many things were left for Her to do, now nothing.
not to mention all the pain and grief you made this family experience. how do you think we feel?

dear gun,
thanks to you, my Mother and i can never be that family we were planing to be.
sure i didnt live with her but eventually i would have. now i cant. no more sleep overs, no more "girls day out", no more nothing.

dear gun,
yesterday was Her birthday. Shes 30 now. but thanks to you, She never saw the day.

dear gun,
If you could turn back time would you. Would you give me my Mom back.After all i need her.

Raven..
daughter

Latoya,

Although I didn't know you personally, we will always have a connection. That connection is law enforcement and being female officers. I have the utmost respect and admiration for you. I hope that you will continue to rest in peace and know that you are a true inspiration to us all.

Hi Toy it's me Will. Well as you already know by now my dad passed away. I hope you and your dad can welcome him. I know he is with you all in spirit. I can't tell you enough how much I miss you LaToya. Your courage and strength for your father has taught me to be strong for my father. I think about you everyday, and I always will. One day we will all be in the same place together. I cherish all of our memories pre-academy, during and after the academy. I still remember our first night shift together and how I didn't allow you to drive the police car, or how I fell and cut my elbow and you cleaned it in the station with your first-aid kit. LaToya you are such a fine person. I miss making you laugh so much. I love you and miss you.

Just wanted to let you know that you have not been forgotten. Came across a poem I'd like to share with your loved ones for I know they think of you each and every day and find those moments when they have those private tears that come from their hearts.

Poem by Norton:

Those we hold most dear never truly leave us.
They live on in the kindness they showed,
The comfort they shared,
And the love they brought into our lives.

You will never be forgotten Blue Angel. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and protect them, wrap your wings around them and help them with their grief.
