I remember reading this when it happened and the pure Evil that it was. I hoped for the ultimate punishment and finally it happened, now i read where this how can i say this "Person" has a group trying to get him set free. I have been in this business since 1985, as a Private Officer, Police Officer, Sheriff's Deputy and Supervisor and now as a Campus Officer and i have NEVER heard of such "Insanity". I just Pray that some how, someway the Lord gives your family and the men and woman you worked with the strenght to survive. We will continue to battle this outrage anyway we can and you will NEVER be forgotten. May the Lord watch over you and your family and give you peace.

Thanks for the dream last night Bill - I would give anything if it wasn't a dream and to have you alive. But, it is still such a nightmare waking up. You are still so vivid in the dream and in my memory - and you always will be. Last week I was going thru some old boxes of stuff I have had for years, and found these two old pictures of us from when we were little - why they were in this box, I have no idea. I sat there and laughed - because you look like Spock from Star Trek in one of them - and then I just started crying. I remember when I showed you the pictures and can still see you laughing that howl of yours. I still can't look at it without doing both. I cherish those memories. I think it was you telling me you were always there for me and always will be - and it is ok to laugh - and cry. Keep watch over us tomorrow - we are going to need it. Again, thanks. Love you and miss you - Jayne

Bill - I was sitting here looking at your picture and the family pictures. How can you be gone? Help us get through this latest round of hell.

Happy New Year Bill - or just another year without you. Not a day goes by...especially now. So many things still come up that I would give anything to talk to you and laugh with you again. So I just talk to you at the usual place. Keep us all safe this year - give us peace - we all need it. Love you and miss you-Jayne

Happy New Year, Bill. When I look at your smiling face I still can't believe you are gone. Time is marching on, but the pain is still running deep. I love you, I miss you. Watch over us.

Merry Christmas Bill. I've got all the decorations up. Wishing it would snow. When I look around at all the bright lights, nothing will ever be as bright since the day you left us. But, I will carry on. I know you are still with us and you always will be. I love you and I hope you will continue to watch out for those who love and miss you.

Merry Christmas Bill,
Another year without you and it is still as hard as the first year. You will always be in our hearts and minds, but it is still not the same and never will be. Give us all peace and have a few buds for all of us - we all miss you so much. Love you and miss you-Jayne

December 24, 2007

Bill,
Tonight we were all together for mom's birthday-she turns 80 tomorrow. I know you, dad and gram were there - the snow was a sure sign. We miss you and I know mom misses you so much. Please keep her safe and healthy. Love you-Jayne

Someone sent me the lines from 'The Little Prince' again. I really think of you when I read these lines:

In one of the stars
I shall be living
In one of them
I shall be laughing
And so it will be
as if all the stars
were laughing
when you look
at the sky at night. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

I will never forget laughing with you. I am working on enjoying Christmas again. I know you and Dad would want that. I realize what a gift you were, and how lucky I was to have a brother like you. I will never take Mike and Jayne for granted. It is a gift to have siblings that you can laugh with and share life with, no matter what it brings. Watch over all of us, and help us through the season. Love you as always,

Kath

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Thinking about you today and just stopped by to say hi!

December 3, 2007

Hey Bill,
Just watching the hockey game and they are playing the Calgary Flames and guess who is coaching them - Mike Keenan. I remember our conversations about him and your imitations of him. He still eats the ice chips! As you can tell, miss you. Love-Jayne

November 25, 2007

You know we will all be missing you tomorrow. Kath

November 21, 2007

tomorrow is the day I think I miss you the most followed closely by the other 364 days. Mike

Soccer Monster / Kirkwood Cop,
How are you and Bud doing? My thoughts are with you and your family. I still carry your memorial card in my wallet.

November 11, 2007

Bill - I am so happy you have received justice. You were shot down in the prime of your life doing nothing but your job. I hope this will bring about more healing. I will never forget, I know I will never stop shedding tears for you, but I will still have a smile for the good times we had all together. I have always been proud to have you as my brother. I will always love you. Kath
