Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi Bill - I've been thinking about you all month. I thought about leaving some Irish literature on your site, but decided I wanted to leave my own words. We had a great celebration at your grave. I know you were there with us.I thought about you in Dogtown, I thought about Bud. It is not the same, but I want to carry on. I felt your spirit. I remember when you and Mike lost Bud. That still makes me laugh and laughter is the Irish blessing that God has given us. And that will always get me through these sad times.

I just have to tell your family Bill that they are such wonderful people. We just passed the first anniversary of Toms EOW and it was gut wrenching. Tears flowed, memories were talked about and on the 7th we all fell apart.
I pray that all of you are together in your new lives and are happy. We all need your protection - from the hereafter.

I hope it gets better as time goes by but so far it hasn't. I keep you and Bill and my Tommy in my prayers all the time which I'm sure you know.

Just thinking about you and your family today.

Love, Sue Miller

Today is the anniversary of Dad's death. We all miss him so much. I am glad he was there to greet you on the other side. It must have brought him great joy. I know how sad he would have been, to be here when we lost you. I remember how safe and happy I felt around the two of you. I pray I can keep the faith and stay strong as a legacy to the two of you. Happy Valentine's Day and keep us in your prayers.

Bill,
Give dad a hug for me. I miss him alot and think of him every day. I remember that day six years ago like it was yesterday. But I still see him so vividly alive in my mind and know he is looking down on me. It is a comfort knowing you both are together-but selfishly wish you both were here. Love you both-Jayne

We will be remembering the victims of the tragedy at city hall tomorrow that took the lives of two of your fellow officers and we also will be remembering your sacrifice that seemed to touch off some really bizarre things in that otherwise normally quiet town God bless you all

Finally, I had a dream that you were in. I can't remember what it was about, but I know I was in trouble. I looked up the street and there you were lumbering down,I'll never forget your walk, and you said, "I got it". When I woke up I felt very peaceful. Thanks, love you.

Bill,
Thanks for being with us today for the closing on the house-I know you and dad were there. I hope now mom will have some peace - she deserves it. I did one last walk thru and everything was just like it was yesterday. It was a great house and alot of great memories. I need a favor - please keep a special watch on the Todts. Give dad a hug - I am doing what he asked me to do. Love and miss you-Jayne

My Love, you are strong and you will do well in life. I love you and my children deeply - today and tomorrow, let each day grow and grow. You keep smiling and never give up when things get you down. So in closing, my love, tonight - tuck my kids in warmly, tell them I love them, hug them for me and give them a big kiss goodnight for daddy! (From 'Black Hawk Down').
For you and all those who have been taken from us in the Line of Duty.

Please watch over your family as they have to endure the most recent stunt by K.J.'s defense team - they're going to need you. We'll all be praying that the MO Supreme Court recognizes this pathetic ploy for what it is and rules that another trial will absolutely NOT take place.

Looks like P.O.S Kevin Johnson is up to it again. Let's hope the Missouri Supreme Court spares your family the additional turmoil of another trial.

You are never forgotten, and those of us still down here will ensure the proper punishment for the one that did this to you.

May god bless those of us who protect!!

Merry Christmas Bill - it sure doesn't get any easier, but we all are trying. You are there with us in our hearts, minds and memories. I know there is one heck of a celebration up there this year - and I know all of you are watching over all of us. Keep everyone safe. Tell Dad I miss him and love him. Love you - Jayne

Hi Bill - Christmas time is here. I look at pictures from past holidays and it is still hard to believe you are gone.I miss you, you know that. Please keep all of us in your prayers up there. I know you have connections. You know one I am struggling with, and I still feel you at my back. Love you.

Happy Thanksgiving Bill,
Another year without you - we still miss you as much as the first. But know you are definitely here with us somewhere. Watch over us and help us to enjoy - especially mom. Give everyone up there a Thanksgiving hug from me. Love you and miss you-Jayne

Hi Bill - Tomorrow will be another Thanksgiving without you. I'm having it this year and yes I know this could be scary. No, seriously everyone is pitching in and it will be nice to be together. Not a day goes by where I don't think of you, I wish you were here to laugh at me doing this, but I know you are, somewhere. I miss Dad, I hope you will be having a nice celebration up there. St. Michael's table will be full this year, say a prayer for all of us left behind. I love you, send us your love.

Bill,
It's been a year that you finally got justice. Just thinking about it still makes my stomach turn. The sentence did not bring you back - nothing ever will - but it did give us a little bit of comfort just knowing that you finally got the justice you deserved. It has been a crazy, crazy sad week as you know. Please keep a special watch over EVERYONE and keep everyone safe. Miss you and Love you-Jayne

Bill,
It's another one of those days where you are deeply missed - Election Day....I'll never forget the 2000 election night - or your "vote" in 2004. I would give anything to hear the phone ring tonight and have it be you. Just so you know, I thought of you as I cast my vote. Miss you and Love you-Jayne

May you help this family.

To work with love. . . is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
­ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Everyone has a purpose in life ­ a unique gift or special talent to give to others, and for every unique talent and expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our spirit.
May God bless and keep you.

Bill,
Another brother in blue has joined you all. I know you have already welcomed him and are taking good care of him. It is all too eerily familiar. I do know you are in a much better place. Continue to keep watch over all of us. Miss you so much, especially now.-Love you, Jayne
