Hard to believe its been 7 years since that horrible night. So much has happened since that time, yet you are always in the front of my mind this time of year. I pray all the time that I can be remembered half as well as you were and strive to be a better man, officer and person because of that.
I am no longer with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, I got hired on with the FBI and now I am in Las Vegas. It just gives me a new avenue to spread the word of your life and help others remember the sacrifice that you made.
I will never forget you and will never forget that night. Thank you for continuing to be my guardian angel and watch after me.

Another year has come and gone! And the nightmare is still playing in our minds. I thought it would be easier, different but it's not. Actually your image and reminders are as fresh as they were back then. And the questions are still unanswered. But I guess we can't question cause there aren't any answers. I just wish it was different. We keep getting older and you still look the same. We have done good for ourselfs and the bad things seem to always happen. I know you are there for your kids and but it's not the same. When good thing and bad things happen to us I ask what if you were here. Like said unanswered questions that will remain this way forever. So I try not to ask many and say only GOD knows why. Maybe ten years from now things will get easier. Hope you receive all the light you need and all those people that cared for you have you in their minds today and always. Til we meet again ""BROWNEYES""

Well its officially 5 years from the day and I still sit here tonight unable to sleep, with my stomach tied in knots and tears in my eyes thinking about that night. I wish that I could have done more for you my friend.

I know that you will always be remembered and loved and I know I will never ever forget the sacrifice you made.

Keep watching down on all of us from above and make sure you put in a good word in with the big guy for us!

Hi Jose! I know you dont know me but I'm bobbo's girl. He really misses you, and he looks up to you, and talks about you allll the time. I'm sure you already know but, he needs your guidance. The boy is confused haha:) oh but you do not understand how amazing he's turning out to be! You would be so proud of him! I really do hope that I can see or meet you one day. You probably met my brother up in heaven, hes a jokester, and whenever you see him, tell him that i love him. But I just want you to know that Bobbo really misses you, and im sure that the rest of the family does, and from what i hear about you, your an amazing man. Thank you for all that you have done to help people, and thank you for being the amazing hero that you are, and inspiring my baby boy. I promise I wont hurt him. I'm actually going to see him in 27 days! hopefully you'll visit me and him!:) cant wait to meet you in heaven! btw me and javier will take a shot for you. love always, Olivia. R.I.P.

It still seems so surreal. Although DC did not happen for me this year, you were certainly not forgotten. On this, your 42nd birthday and the evening of the candle light vigil, Jenn, Katie, Sabrina and I went and left flowers for you today at your memorial. There's not a day that goes by that we don't think about you. You will never be forgotten.
Much love,

Wow !! Your 42nd B'day would have been on May 13, 2010. It's always nice to know that the candle light is held on this day. Makes your birthday a memoral one. We are planning to go to Washington on the 15th of this month. Alot of things have happened. And we are all doing good. This is usually a hard time for us cause we miss you and it still feels like yesterday we got into this dream that never ends. We know you are in a better place it's just hard to except. Destiny is doing excellent in college, her grades are just wonderful. Anthony is also doing good, working and taking care of his things. I'm working and happy to be working permanent finally. We always think about you and wish we could see you again. Wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy B'day and know we will be at the candle light via online. Only cause it's in the middle of the week. But making our way to DC saturday. May you be at peace and remember we miss you dearly. Till we meet again !!! """Browneyes"""

I was a part of the NYPD Explorers program between the years of 1996-1999 and it was during this time that I had the honor of meeting Officer Diaz. He was a great role model and is the reason I am pursuing my career today. Even if he were alive today I am not sure if he would even know who I am, but his wonderful personality and professionalism was an inspiration to me that ultimately set me on my path today. Although it saddens me to just know find out that he is no longer able to hear me say it...I just wanted to say thank you!

Happy 2010 Another year has come and gone. And we are still here waiting. Things have been good and this was one of the better christmas we have had since you left. We were together and in good spirit. Des is doing great in school, I'm sure you are proud of her. She is also working and doing her thing. Has a great head on her shoulder. Tony is doing good, has a better attitude and is thinking better. I am also proud of him has finally come back from his lost world and is starting to do his things as well. Feels like you are always here with us. Hoping this is our turn around year. Thanks for contining to watch over us. Til we meet again ""BROWNEYES"" miss you!!!!!!!!!!!

I write this telling those who read this that you are not forgotten. It amazes me how people forget. I have not. You are a good soul and I often chat with you to make me at least half the person you were. Give me the strength to deal with all the adversities life keeps throwing me & the resilience to put God first as you always reminded me during our days on patrol. We will meet and laugh again my brother. Just put in a good word for me up there. Jose, you & the Lord both know I am trying my best! I really am...love you kid!
