Dear Scott,
Another cold, snowy day here. You've been on my mind a lot lately, I've been missing your smile and just plain silliness! We could all use a good dose of your humor!

Love and hugs from all of us!

Hi hon,
Another holiday season is upon us. They say time heals all wounds, but I can tell them they are wrong! This is a hard time for all of us without you here. Thank you for the beautiful daughters that we have, I can't look at them without thinking of you.
Rest In Peace.
Love Always, Micki

Hey Scottie,
Just a quick note to say we're thinking about you. Another beautiful, blue-sky day is upon us and I'm sure you would have been on the golf course! Big hugs to you!

Hey 'ole buddy,
Tomorrow is the annual poker run in your name. We ride in honor and remembrance of you and I know you’ll be watching over all of us and keeping everyone safe. I wish you were here to ride with us. I really miss those days when we rode to work together and all the other times when we’d ride together. Peace brother!!

Dad-

Your poker run is next weeekend and I absolutely cannot wait to ride in your name.
I have been thinking a lot about you lately, missing you like crazy. I sit and look at pictures and see how much Beau looks like you, and remember that he acts just like you too! Trust me, you would have absolutely loved him and I know he would have been your little buddy!

I constantly find myself asking the "what if" and "why" questions, but still to this day I haven't found the answer. God needed you for bigger and better things than your life on Earth was capable of providing for you. I love you more than words can say and I hope that you are proud of what I have made of my life.

I love you so much, you'll forever be in my heart!
Gone but never forgotten!!!

I love you Daddy.... ** until we meet again! **

Bailey,
I think of your dad often as well. Always remember that your dad is always looking down on you with more pride than you can ever imagine. He may not be here with us, but he has left us with his legacy and that is you and Brooke. Because of that…he lives on. I have no doubt that he watches over all of our lives that he touched before he so tragically left us. You are right in the fact that there are just no words to describe your dad to anyone who didn’t know him. I am proud to be able to have worked side by side with him and more so to be able to have called him my friend!!!!!

Well, I'm just kind of speechless right now. You have been on my mind a ton lately. Ever since graduation, I've been constantly battling my mind. Seeing all of my friends with their dads and seeing how proud they were that their kid finally made it. Wish you could've been there to do the same. I leave for college in a few weeks to fulfill my dreams of playing college volleyball, and I hope that you will watch down on me, and help me with the balancing act of school and sports at such a high level. I haven't been out to see you for awhile, it's just been too hard these past few months. I am SOOO thankful that you were my dad, and proud to say that I knew Scott Edward Bryant. Wrote a tribute to you on my facebook on your six year anniversary, I'm sure you read every word. It didn't do justice to you and the sacrifice you made, but it brought peace to my heart to write my feelings down and relieve my mind. I'm off to church camp tomorrow, and I get the chance to share my faith story, and how I found God. I can't wait to share it with all my fellow campers and to lead them throughout the week. Thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us!! I don't have much more to say, other than I miss you like crazy, and I can't wait to be with you again! Please watch over me, and always remember: GONE, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. Love you Daddy <3

By all of the readings on your reflection wall that people left today you know that you were on everyone's mind. I think of you everyday and wish that 6 years ago today life wouldn't have tuned upside down. I miss you more than words will ever be able to describe. You are forever in my thoughts and forever in my memory! Thank you for being a wondeful Uncle and for being a true hero! I miss you and I love you!

Oh, Scotty, six years ago today -- so hard to believe. I just can't tell you how tremendously you are missed, how tremendously you are loved and how tremendously proud I know you are of the girls and Micki. Even though you are so missed on earth,we just praise God for opening those beautiful gates and welcoming you Home. What a hero you are! Keep shining down on us and watching over us. We love you and miss you!

Hi honey-
Wow, six years ago today life was changed in a split second. Sometimes it seems like yesterday, other times it seems like much longer than six years. As I have said so many times in the past, but will continue to say, you would be so proud of who your girls have grown into. I thank you again for blessing me with them. I do wish things could have been different, that you would be here to help with the decisions on raising them, etc, but you laid the ground work when they were little and that helped me so much, and again I thank you.
Today, ISP guys will run with the torch for Special Olympics. I knew the day would come that it would fall on your anniversary date. Please keep an extra close watch on all involved this week.
Our memories of you will never fade, our love for you will never die, you will forever be in our hearts!
We love and miss you each and everyday!
RIP honey!

A CORRECTION OFFICER must always bear in mind that rehabilitation is based on self-respect. In the event of rebellious actions or disparaging remarks towards them by inmates they must always maintain a quite firm demeanor.


A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER has to be able to tolerate the ignorance of some, without losing hope.

A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER must also be prepared to cover a life-threatening situation, canvass the institution for witnesses, write a perfect report, and testify the next day.

A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER has to be in top physical condition at all times, running on black coffee and half-eaten meals when it is necessary.

A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER has to have six pairs of hands.

The angel shook her head slowly and said, “Six pairs of hands… no way!” “It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” said the Lord, “it’s the three pairs of eyes an Officer has to have.” ”Is that on the standard model?” asked the angel.

The Lord nodded and said, “One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before the Officer asks, ‘May I see what’s in there, sir?’ (When the Officer already knows and wishes he’d taken that accounting job.)” The second pair, here in the side of his head for his fellow Officers safety and the third pair of eyes here in front that can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say, “You’ll be all right, when the Officer knows it isn’t so.”

“Lord,” said the angel, touching his sleeve, “rest and work on this tomorrow.” “I can’t,” said the Lord, “I already have a model that can talk a 250 pound inmate out of a rebellious intention without incident and feed a family of five on a civil service paycheck.” The angel circled the model of the CORRECTIONAL OFFICER very slowly, “Can it think?” the angel asked.

The Lord said “Can it think!” A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER can recite departmental rules in its sleep; detain, investigate, search, and arrest a gang member on a tier in less time than it takes five Federal Judges to debate the legality of a cell search… and still it keeps its sense of humor. “This CORRECTIONAL OFFICER also has phenomenal personal control.”

A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER can deal with crime scenes painted in hell, professionally watch over a child abuser not allowing emotions to stand in the way of helping a inmate better himself, comfort a fellow Officers family with a loss, and then read in the daily paper how the department and its Officers are not sensitive to the rights of inmates.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the CORRECTION OFFICER. “There’s a leak,” the angel pronounced. “I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model!” the angel exclaimed.

“That’s not a leak,” said the Lord, “it’s a tear”

“What’s the tear from?” asked the angel.

“It’s for bottled-up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment to that tattered piece of cloth called the American flag, and for lady justice.”

“You’re a genius,” said the angel.

The Lord looked somber and said “I didn’t put that tear there.”
