Happy New Year brother. I think of you often and will keep your memorial decal on my personal vehicle until it rots off! Keep watching over your LMPD family and help keep up safe every night.

My thoughts are with your loved ones this Christmas Day. I know you will be the talk of the day between all your loved ones as they share great stories and memories of you. Some stories will be a smile to their faces even though their hearts are filled with pain. It is a way of keeping your memory alive, you will never be forgotten. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and protect them. Merry Christmas Hero.

Peter,
I recently saw your name on a bench memorial near the river. To lose one of our own still hurts me as much now as it did then. But we are still here to carry on the fight, against those who would harm others. We will carry on for you, and remember the great sacrifice you made for us. Everyday when I put my uniform on, I see the memorial pin with your name on it. And I remember you, and what you (and I) stand for. Even though we never met, the bond between police officers is one of fraternity, and humanity. You and your memory will never be forgotten. Our fight is not over. It will never be over.

I just wanted to stop in and let you know I was thinking of you today. I've read your recent reflections, and I feel the same way - it's nice to see a new post and know that people are still checking in, still remembering, still caring.

Peter will never be forgotten. Take care of yourself.

Rebecca,
Just wanted you to know that Peter is not forgotten. His memory will live on forever. Besides my wedding ring, the braclet w/his name on it never comes off my wrist. I even wore it on my wedding day. God bless you, and keep having those wonderful dreams of him. One day you will be reunited & what a lovely day that will be.

REBECCA,
I am not sure if it was the fact that Peter was my age or if it was the fact that he was merely doing his job, what he loved and trying to finish his shift. My husband is the best friend I have ever had. To lose him would destroy my seven year old daughter and I. I envy the way that you have remained stead fast and strong. Your memories will allow you to stay connected with Peter. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you live through the daily challenges of life.

Thinking of you as our country remembers the 343 firefighters and 72 policeman that died the day America changed 5 years ago. How amazing Heaven must be among heroes such as these and yourself

God bless. Thank you for what you did.

Never knew you, but have gotten to know your family through KY C.O.P.S. I often hear good things about you.

Your flag will fly for the first time on September 9th, 2006 and you will be remembered always as we honor your memory and family at the 4th Annual KY Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation Ride.

Happy Labor Day Peter... I know know, the parties in Heaven are insane, right? Send some extra love and hugs to your parents and Becca and everyone else. I know holidays can be even harder without you.

Rebecca & Family,

Even though I did not know Pete, with the Lord in my heart, I am sure he is happy patroling the streets of heaven. I think of him very often, when my husband puts on his uniform and says goodbye to our chidren and myself. I"ll see you guys in the morning! and as I pray for his safety, I also pray for all officers to come home safely. but each day as I check the ODMP yet to find another family suffers as you do. Reading your reflections Becca, make me appreciate every day, I admire your strength and know Peter must be so proud!!! Stay strong, for you will see Peter again some Day. Always know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I will never be able to express how much it comforts me to know that Peter is not forgotten and whenever you post it lets me know that you remember. Thank you so much.

God bless Peter and all of his family and friends. I know there is nothing that I can say that will make anything any easier, just know that you are not alone in your greif. When I mourn my own father, I mourn Peter and all those who have gone before me as well. When I can take up my sword again, I will lift it in honor of these brave men and defend the helpless as best I can... as they always did.

I've been thinking a lot about you lately, Peter. I pray for Rebecca more and more everyday it seems. She's so strong. I don't know she does it. Keep shining down on us from Heaven. Thank you.

Just thinking of you today, Pete. I know Heaven is treating you well.

Dear Peter,

I miss you so much. I wish that I could just call you on the phone and ask for your advice. I guess I didn’t realize how much I relied on you for being my sounding board. I am trying to do what God wants me to and also what I think that you would do.

I went out last night to a place that had your picture hanging up. It was so nice to look up and see you smiling (or maybe laughing) at me. I wish that God would let you come back and just sit and hold me for a while. But I guess that just gives me something more to look forward to in heaven.

Tell God thanks for sending me dreams of you. It’s wonderful to dream of you; it’s just so hard to wake up. So maybe you could ask God to help me with that too.

I am so glad that you are my in my life and I can’t wait to see you again.

Love and miss you,

Your wife,

Rebecca
