Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I cant sleep and you have been on my mind so much. Lately, it has been feeling like everywhere I go and everything I do there is something that makes me think of you. The other day I was changing out picture frames, and Chasy was helping me. She picked up your picture and was just holding it as if it was the most fragile thing she had ever seen, and she asked me to tell her about you. I start telling her about you and how we became friends and some of the fun times we had together. She kinda laughed and then started telling me how she remembers you. She had me laughing so hard I was in tears. I just think its so awesome that even though my kids didnt get to spend nearly enough time with you, you still left them with some great memories. I miss you so much, and I still get so angry sometimes that I dont have my bestfriend anymore, but I am so thankful for the times I had with you. There will never be another Tara in my life. I love you.

Who would you be hanging out with,,

I became aware of the death of Officer Drummond during a class attended by police firearms instructors.
The instructor teaching the class presented a slide show of photographs that started with a young girl and progressed through her life.
The final slide was the picture presented here. Then he told the story.
I was moved to tears and shocked by how it happened.
I have a daughter Tara's age and can not imagine the pain her family endured.
As a police instructor I will never forget her story. I will present her photo and story at every class I teach from now on to emphasize the safety measures that we must practice.
I respect her family for the measures they have taken to keep her memory alive and prevent training casualties.
I will do my part to carry that message and will never forget her.
God bless Tara, her family and friends.

Tara,

I still think about you often. I was at work in Oregon and was wearing your blue and pink braclet. I had the opportunity to tell some of my new co workers about you and your story. I miss you.

MY BODY TELLS ME NO,

SPEAK TO ME,THINK OF ME, KEEP ME IN YOUR MEMORY,
LOVE CAN CONQUER ALL THINGS,
BUT THE LORD KNOWS, WHATS MEANT TO BE.
I AM PREPARED TO ACCEPT HIS WILL. AMEN

You tried so hard to take the anger out of my personality from Iraq. I loved you more than most people realized. We were inseperable for 9 weeks. The people who matter too me understand...I look around and sometimes it feels like the world keeps turning, and im still very angry! Guess I was a work in progress that never got finished. All I can say is, "WHAT A LOSS TO HUMANITY, AND WHAT A HORRIFIC FAILURE OF JUSTICE!" On my way to Afghanistan with an Angel on my shoulder! Sergeant Gloyd Out!!

To the family of Officer Tara Drummond, my thoughts and prayers go out to you on the third anniversary of her passing. I personally know how hard it must be, still, to think of her not being there with you. But she is heaven watching over you every minute. There is comfort in knowing that. Continue to be strong and live your life to its fullest. I'm sure Tara would want no less from you.

To the family and loved ones of Officer Tara Drummond, her fellow officers with the Kennesaw Police Department, and most especially to Tara:

On this the third anniversary week of your tragic and senseless death, please know that you are honored and revered today and everyday.

From all the loving reflections left about you, I can see that you were an amazing young woman and what a grievous loss your loved ones have endured because of your death.
May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire. You are loved and missed by so many.

Rest in Peace, Tara. A body is but for a lifetime, but spirits and souls are for eternity and yours is forever part of those who call you beloved.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Tara gave to her community and the citizens of Georgia, and for the supreme sacrifice she and her family made on September 13, 2005.

Three years have already passed since we lost you - it doesn't seem possible and yet it seems like eternity since we last saw you. Your legacy remains strong...you touched more hearts and lives in your short 23 years than most people do in a lifetime.

May God comfort your family and friends who miss you every day, but especially today.

One of Many Missing You

My heart is still so broken, but I choose to honor you each day by living as you lived-- with spirit & soul & joy. I choose to make others smile.....or laugh just as you did, Tara. You had the most beautiful smile and you lit up the room when you walked in.

I miss you baby.

Almost three years ago, and still, I can't figure out a solution to this, maybe I never will..you deserved better than this..As a Paratrooper would, I would have jumped on the grenade to save you...But there wasnt one and no time to make that decision. The sound of that gunshot will forever be etched into by memory and my heart. My most favorite memory was how I spent almost 40.00 trying to get a certain costume ring for you out of a quarter machine at Johnny's BBQ in Powder springs. "Broken Arrow is a code word in combat used when an american unit has been overun, it calls for immediate air support by all branches. Thats the way I felt in 2005, she made me forget about the war. When this happened it felt like the war was following me home..

Thanks for teaching me humility and selfless service, unlike I had never seen before.

"I will never forget you!"
