hey, this is weird, but I will try anyway. I never had a chance to tell you bye, or how much you meant to me. I was suposed to protect you, but I failed. I miss you so much, & wish I could hear your laugh 1 more time. The thing I will remember the most about you, is your heart. You were just like dad, the way you touched peoples lives, & that is something that lives on in Raven. If I touch the lives of half as many people as you, I would haved lived a blessed life. You are always going to be with me, in my heart, mind, & soul. I hope that you are happy with what you see as you look down upon us. Love you always sis, Your big bro..

I remember the laughing after school, the serious discussions about boy crushes, and the hours and hours spent at your house with you, Cory, and I finding endless use with absolutely nothing to do. I remember as if it were yesterday. We laughed so hard we would cry, and those memories stay with me, especially when i see Raven. Its like looking at you, and it instantly takes me back. She is beautiful, strong, and loved...everything you are. I like everyone, wish for one more joyful conversation, one more day to reminisce, one more day to catch up on everything in our lives, one more day...i know you are in a wonderful place but i wanted to thank you. For the smiles, for the joy, for being you.
Your friend,
Carol

today i waz thinking about you and i just randomly remembered a song you used to sing to me when i was a baby.its kinda crazy cause i remembered all the words and its ironic how the lyrics fit with this situation.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken,
So I hung my head down and cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I wanted to stop and leave a reflection as I was thinking about you today. I remember the day you were called away from duty because my son was killed in the line of duty the day before you so he was there to greet you upon your arrival. You have not been forgotten and are a true hero. Wrap your wings around your loved ones and help them with their grief as I know their pain. Keep watch over those still on patrol

My dearest Toya,
I miss you so much. Even today its still hard for me to talk to Summer because seeing her without you, I suddenly remember my girl is gone. To get through the grief I think of the fun times we shared. Times like when we were in the academy and you raced through the o.c.spray course giggling and smiling, and at the finish line you declared victory by giving a shout out "brooklyn in da house!!!". Toya you are so crazy. I have so much I'd like to say but most importantly, Thank you for being my friend. Your kind, caring, and goofy spirit will not be forgotten. Keep watching over us all.
Love you baby J

Toya,
I think of you often, every time I look at the pano poster I see you first. Then my eyes go over to Tessier. Man It's been a while, but I can remember it like it was yesterday. I hopr you are looking down on us and smiling. God only knows we did a smile after katrina. I jnow if you would have been with us you would have been a trooper like all of us that fought the good fight and won. I miss you much. BROOKLYN!!!! Smile for us.

Toya,
I think about you almost every day and the ultimate sacrifice you made as I contemplate returning to NOPD. I still miss you. Many of our friends and family were hit hard during Katrina. Remembering your smile helps us to perservere. God bless you, my sister-in-blue.

Everytime I put on my uniform and go "10-8" I think about you. I know you are in a better place...though I know that those who knew you, wish they had a little more time to spend with you. As our Lord holds you in his arms, I know you are sending his blessings to each and every officer who put their lives on the line so other may live in peace. Thank you and all the other officers who have go before us to watch over us.

May Jehovah God Bless you and your family and friends. I look at your smiling face on this site and it just made me feel sad. The reason for this is probaly that smile of yours could cheer everyone's day and to have it taken from off the planet is just not right.You are a "HERO" in every aspect of the word.I am sure you and your smile will be missed by your family and friends.May your soul rest in peace!! Remember one day you will be awakened from your sleep and rejoined with all your loved ones!Gone for now but not forgotten!!

Happened upon this sight, but as a Christian I know that it wasn't "by chance". I've been having a hard couple of months but your smile, your loved ones, and your sacrafice inspire me to go on in faith.
