To Sgt. Scarbrough, his wife and his loved ones:

On this the thirteenth month after your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.

My heart goes out to your family. You’re in our thoughts and our prayers. Reading their reflections shows how very much they miss you. As I look at your photograph, you had such a radiant smile...I am sure you were a person of light.

I hope our family's paths cross in D.C.

Sgt. Scarbrough, you rescued us, saved our possessions, our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Sgt. Scarbrough

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Sgt. Scarbrough gave to his community and the citizens of Michigan, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 9, 2005.

Today our girl made it on the varsity soccer team for high school. A freshman making it for varsity...can you believe it?

I can remember you pacing outside of the gym when she was trying out for her first school sport back in 7th grade. You were so nervous about how we should handle it if she didn't make it....but also crazy with nervousness hoping that she would. Thank God she did. What a confidence booster to her. You were sooo excited. You were always there to cheer her on, to support her for every sport, every event, every important time in her life.

What am I supposed to do when she would want nothing else but to hear you go wild when you heard the news that she made it today? I told her how proud you would have been for her and gave her my infamous soccer mom woohoo and called everyone we knew...but it just didn't feel like it was enough....I wonder, will it ever be?

She's so excited tonight that I'm not going to overanalyze this...we're going to celebrate tomorrow when she gets home from school....I miss you so much at times like this...I love you, boo.

Up early this morning just thinking of you. I had one of those moments at work yesterday...I thought about how I would call you up when you worked afternoons and you'd get lunch for all of us at work and then eat with me in the cafeteria so that we could spend time together....it just hit me that I would never again do that with you....never....sometimes the smallest memories will set off my feelings. The enormity of "never again" is just so huge somedays.

One of my patients who found out I was a widow asked me if I ever got lonely for you and what I do when I feel that way....I wanted to tell him that it incapacitates me sometimes...that I get angry and frustrated...that I break down and cry from the emptiness and intensity of missing you...that somedays I can't wrap my head around the fact that I will never be with you again and hear you tell me how much you love and need me....instead I told him that some days are harder than others, that I fill my life with friends and family, that I exercise and journal and try to do things that bring me comfort and that sometimes it works to ease these feelings.

Today, unfortunately isn't one of those days...I'm missing and loving you, boo.

Denise,
Just checking in on you to see how you and your family are doing. My thoughts are forever with you. May is just around the corner. I will be up in Tallahassee the 7th and 8th and then Washington the following week. Just another step you and I will make on this long road. My husband's trial starts the day we get back from Washington. You can rest assured I wont be missing that. What a hard month this will be for both of us . We lost our loved ones the same day and will celebrate their honor and bravery the same time as well. Please know you may call me at anytime just for another shoulder to lean on or an exchange of pep talks and support. You may leave me a message at the s.o. and they will reach me. I'm keeping you in my prayers. Take Care!!
