Thinking of you at Easter. I know the kids would have loved to have you do all those wonderful things with them that you did at all the holidays. Life is so very different without you and we still all miss you very much. Be with us as we celebrate Easter and watch over the travelers so that they may not get killed by a drunk driver..

Mel,
Hey wanted to take sometime to say hi comming up on Easter and It is a hard time because we both love this holiday for the kids it allways made us smile. I just wish Owen could had more than just One with you. We got the verdict from the appelit court they overturned Harpers sentencing and sent it back to the lower court for a new sentenceing kind of made me realy mad but thats life I guess. I have been very angry about a lot of stuff latley and well im just missing you I woke up at 3:20 am the other night and sat in the chair waiting for you to come through the door again and you didnt. I havent done that in a while. Lanie is doing good she is looking forwared to going to DC but she dont want to do the COPS&Kids Stuff but i think once we get their she will have a good time.

Im going to go for now keep watching over everyone
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

I'm just 2 Drunk Drivers away from 700 since I started my "crusade" on Jan 2002.. 698 drunks and several more to go , all in your honor as well as others who have been taken from us by DUI drivers.. Keep watching over all of us... You are not forgotten!!!

Mel,
I know its been a while but thing were going pretty good, Lanie is 4 foot tall now and as rowdy as ever. We talk about you more she is finally letting some thing out and last night I had to tell her That Jacob Harper is going to have to be re-sentenced, they found 2 parts of it did not follow the new law that our lovely state passed and decided not to tell anyone again. So please watch over us all and keep a very close eye on your mom and dad for me. I tried to call the people from C.O.P.S. but of course as usual I get no response. Im getting so tired of that your mom and dad stayed here the other night, it was a lot of fun to have them here.
Im sorry right now im going to have to go
I Love You and Miss you so Much

Dearest Melissa, I went to the crash site for the first time. I wasn't too sure how strong I would be. I cried, of course, and all the memories of that night when the officers were in my living room and the fears and hurt and unbelief. By going to the crash site, it reinforces my belief of how horrible the crime of drunk driving is and how wrong it is that in your going out to help someone, Mr. Harper took you away from your family, your children and all of us. Protect us, officers, so no one should go through that pain. Denise

The boken chain
We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name,
in life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same..
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home..
You left us peaceful memories
your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side..
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will Link again..
We love you
Julie, Mom, Dad, Mike,Martha,Dean, Sharon, Cary, Tonya
And all your Nephews

I thank all of the officers who calmly do their duty. You will never get the respect and honor that you deserve but when we the public need you, you are there. Every officer on this memorial page was out there to help us and paid for it with their lives. I ask that every one remember to be kind and thank an officer for their everyday help.

Darling girl, I think of you a lot because of the trial which will begin for poor Bryan. I remember the hurt of hearing of his death so soon after your own. Yesterday, Grandpa Steve and I were remembering a good time with you and Rob, and there were many of those. I miss your sense of humor and kindness and joy that you felt in your whole soul. I see you often in my days and thank God that I knew you and you helped so many. God bless you Melissa. Denise

Happy Groundhog Day, Melissa. You know how I love to celebrate all holidays, even the goofy ones. I saw pictures of animals at different zoos today and I remembered our good times at the zoo, starting when you were pregnant with Lanie and the last time when we were with Lanie and Owen in during fall. I remember how you would tease us about the wolverine to get a rise out of OSU fans. I remember so many of those times with fondness and think of what I should do for your children. Help me. Denise

Mel,
Just got home me and Lanie had a shopping day, she got 2 new dolls and some other things and I picked up a new CD. It has George Strait on it and I was thinking about the time we seen him in the horseshoe you were so mad at me for bringing the other person I brought. I am sorry for that I just new after what had happened at the last concert I invited you to I didn’t want to have to try to find a replacement at the last minute. I didn’t do it to upset you. Im listening to I can Still Make Cheyenne. It brings back a lot of memories some good and some not so good. As I sit here looking at your picture on this web site I think you are one of way to many people on here and that this list will never stop growing no matter how much we all wish it would. As long as their are laws there will be people drawn to law enforcement for some unknown reason and people to break the laws and this list will never stop. I was taking a friend home tonight and I went past the S.O.B. house that took you from us I wanted to just stop and burn it to the ground but I know he is not their and it would do no good for me to do something like that (sorry a bit bitter today) I want to go curl up in bed and forget this day but I cant Lanie is not feeling good Grandma is playing with her right now so I am letting a bit of it out I was just made to feel pretty useless a few weeks ago and you know I cant stand that it ticks me OFF! But I will get over it as I always do. So we got a cat its name is cinnamon Lanie named it she is white and gray and very playful.
Im going to go for now
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

Mel,
Ive been sitting here thinking there was a time when I didnt think I could go with out talking to you or seeing you well its been 13 1/2 months since the night you where taken from us and not a day goes by that I wish you were here. Lanie is having a pretty hard time right now im not sure why but she isnt sleeping again and she is realy missing you so much it hurts me to see her so unhappy at times. After Eathans funeral I came home and thought about a lot of the good times we used to have together and how much fun it used to be now our daughter says she is going to pick me out a girlfriend so I can get married and she can have a step mom. I always tell her even if I do get married that you will always be her mom she tells me she knows but she wants a step mom because you cant be here with her. Do they make step "friends" because if they do I want one just like you. well going to go for now
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

Dear Melissa, I miss you on days like today when I hear about all the ugly crimes that are in the world. You and your fellow officers worked and work so hard with so little respect for what you do. A co worker and I were talking about all of the ugliness of cruel people hurting others and again I remembered how you tried to make every place you went a safe place for the children, the elderly, the hurting and needing people who were and are taken advantage of. You were so loving of heart and so strong, much stronger than I ever could be and that made me proud of you. I felt protected by you, even though I was older, and now it seems hard to not have you protecting me and all of our loved ones because you are in heaven. I miss you so much and love you. Denise
