Mel,
Just getting home from Fairfield County for the showing of Ethan, I hope you have meet him by now and take him under your wing and show him the way and let him know we will get his family through this no matter what it takes. I've told the guys at the Fairfield County Sheriffs office to get used to my ugly mug for a while as I will be checking on them quit often. I dont know how he is doing it but TJ is assigned to the family that man has gone through more in the last year than anyone I can think of. and he does it all with out missing a beat. God watch over him he is a very good man and needs a break. Im going to go for now

LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

Rob,

I just wanted to thank you for being with us the night that Ethan was taken from us. I also want to thank you for being at his viewing tonight. Saying that our lives have been changed for ever is a gross understatement, and it is such a shame that you and I had to meet under such circumstances. I want to thank you again for being with us in our time of grief, and I know that Melissa would be proud of you.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.
Your Brother,

Melissa,

Your family has passed that one year mark and I know that it has not been easy for them. The broken hearts and grief being suffered by your family and freinds all because of one individual who had a past history of hurting others because of his actions. I hope that every day for the rest of his life he thinks of all the pain and broken hearts he has generated because of his actions. My son Michael was killed in the line of duty also by a drunk driver. I'm sure like him, you loved your job. In our case the other driver was also killed in the accident so my family did not have to suffer the trial process as your family did. We were able to get a new law passed in his name in our State to change our DUI law here in Illinois to give officers on the street more to work with. Keep watch over your family and friends and wrap your wings around your loved ones to help ease their grief, including your Dad as I met him in Washington, DC when we honored you and my son. I know the grief he feels. There is no greater loss than to lose a child. Protect your family from harm.
You will never be forgotten.

I am so grateful for all of the wonderful police officers all over this great country who work so hard to keep our roads safe. When I went out on New Year's Eve and safely got off the roads by 10, I prayed as we were driving on route 24 in Northwest Ohio that all of the officers and the public be safe. My friend reminded me that the route we were on was one of the worst accident routes in Ohio and we should always be careful when driving. I am glad that I do not need a drink to get through each day like those people who choose to drink and drive and possibly take another wonderful human being like my Melissa. Thank you, officers, for the work you do each day. God bless you.

It has been a strange holiday without you. My life is changed so much, as you know, and I miss the time I could talk to you and cry with you and be with you. I sent presents to the kids, I hope they liked them. Steve got to sing with Lanie December 23 and he enjoyed that so much. I miss everyone and yet I feel a pain so deep that I am afraid to see Lanie and Owen because my grief might overwhelm them. I try to call and yet I know it isn't your voice on the other end. You would tell me to straighten up and do what is good and right, so I will. I send my holiday love to all of your family and co workers who are doing so much to make sure no one else be killed by a drunk driver. Love you lots. Denise

Merry Christmas... Got 3 drunks off the street last night, kinda hated to lock them up on Christmas Eve, but rather them go to jail than to take a family member away from a family on Christmas Eve......................Keep me safe watching over me from above...

Melissa,

Well it has been a year already and Christmas is around the corner. I get to work 14hrs Christmas eve and 12hrs on Christmas so I wanted to stop in now and say Merry Christmas. You are missed so much by your co workers. It is still strange to call your car number and hear someone else voice.

Please watch over everyone and keep us all safe

God Bless

Mel,
Wanted to say hi and let you know what’s going on. Lanie got her picture with Santa the other day she was sooo cute she had on a pink shirt her favorite color. Coming into Columbus Saturday night i put the Jimmy in a ditch because of all the ice on the roads it caused almost $1500.00 damage so it is in the body shop being fixed, i was pretty mad at my self. X-Mas is coming up way to fast and I have a lot of stuff for Lanie but I cant get her what she keeps telling me she wants the most, she told me to ask Santa for her MOMMY back. I tried to explain to her that you couldn’t come back and she says i know I was only joking and we both know what that means. Someone asked me the other day what i missed the most about you I told them You, your company talking to you being able to give you a hug when something is wrong, the conversations we would have how it never failed every time I worked 3rd shift I always ended up working 10 or 12 hours and would be so frustrated and I would come home and you would just listen to me rant and rave about how stupid some people are. Then I stopped and said I just miss you, not Officer Melissa M. Foster, I missed my friend Mel. The person who would do anything to help most people the person who loved her children more than life, The person i loved and was my best friend in the world. I thought about the night you called me to pick you up after your accident on Parsons during FTO, about the times you would call me when you had a flat tire or just called because you had a few extra minutes to talk and see how the kids were. I remember the day we walked to the Whitehall library and there was and older gentleman at the counter as we were leavening he said he was expecting something and you said I should have told him so were we Lanie and we laughed all the way home. I don’t think I will ever get over losing you yes there where times when we wouldn’t speak to each other and times we couldn’t even be in the same room but i would give almost anything in the world right now just to hold you. I should have been there and I wasn’t I just wasn’t and I am so sorry. People say time heals everything well they are wrong I have such a void and longing for you that I don’t think it will ever go away. Lanie is going out tomorrow with Aunt Renee and grandma I haven’t been letting he outside much this week she has a cold so I think it will do her some good. She has a new Favorite TV station it PBS KIDS SPROUT and she can write her first name now we are still working on her last it a long one you know but im glade we did it that way.
Im going ot go for know got to try to get some sleep
LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND MISS YOU LOTS

melissa,
it has been one year. it doesn't seem possible that a year has passed. i still miss you so much and wish with all my heart i could hug you just one more time. i think about you everyday wondering what heaven must be like for you.
we had memorial services on the 4th in your honor. both seemed to go well and helped your loved ones get through the day.
this is especially difficult around the holidays as it seems unfair to celebrate thanksgiving and christmas when we are feeling the loss of a loved one. we will celebrate though, because you would not have wanted us to be sad and feel sorry for ourselves.
i am continuing my promise to watch over your angel, Lanie. she is bright, beautiful and energetic.
we love and miss you very much. my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this holiday season.

love ya,
lmp
