Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Gregg,
Today marks the two year anniversary since you were called home. Lehigh Valley would like to thank you for your dedication to the great state of PA. You will never be forgotten, nor will your legacy of courage.

It seems like yesterday that I heard about this tragedy and it has already been two years. Rest in peace always my friend knowing that we will never forget you.

My thoughts are with your loved ones as they remember the day, two years ago, when their lives were forever changed. The way your sister calls you "B" caught my attention, as that was a nickname often used around our house for my son, Brian.

~~~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~~~

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free, so won't you take my hand and share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.

B,
I saw that another officer joined you yesterday from Florida. I imagine you were there to help his step into heaven. You are missed every day. Can't wait to see you again. Love you Lots.

Wow, almost 2 years have passed. It seems as though it was like yesterday. I felt compelled to leave this reflection because like many other times, we go on with our lives and forget. We should never do that.

Brian, my parents knew your family, and I met you twice. I know how much you wanted this job and you are a true hero. I know one day I will see you again and you are the first one I want to see in Heaven after the Lord.

Rest in Peace. You have Justice. We won't forget you.

Brian,
Tomorrow night is your High School classes 30th Reunion. I hope that you can see all of the friends and family members that will be honoring your memory as their class historian throughout your reunion. I wish that you could have been there yourself, instead we will be there for you. I really miss you B.

This week we remembered the fallen Officers from Bucks county, sadly it feels like yesterday you were still amoung us. We pay tribute, we reflect but nothing can dull the pain of your adsence. The officers that you once stood with, remember you and miss you. God Bless, Brother Brian

My daughter was born on your birthday last week in St. Mary's Hospital. She will grow up knowing about what a good person you were and how you helped the community. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't all think of you. Rest easy brother.

NOW IN HEAVEN
The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"


MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

I think of you often and feel just terrible. The creep should have been put away along time ago. May God Bless you and your family.
