I was just telling someone about the car stop with the 85 year old man in Cherry Hill. Everytime I tell that story I laugh so hard tears flow. You were HILARIOUS!! You HATED taking me with you-but whenever you heard my squeaky voice on the radio you would fly back to the district to make sure I was okay. Thank you for looking out for me Brother. Miss you...

Treva: Your entire family are constantly in my prayers.

Stanley I will never forget you, your laugh and good hearted nature. You had a wonderful sense of humor and the ability to make every situation seem less stressful. Even though I didn't have the opportunity to meet your wife I do know that you were a heck of a husband, officer, man, son, brother and friend. You are truly missed.

Hey I finally finished grad. school. Seems like it took forever. Thanks for encouraging me to get my Master's. I feel like a piece of me is missing with you being gone. Seems like it was yesterday. I can't believe it still hurts so bad. I am trying my best to do this without you. It gets hard sometimes. Reagan was talking about how you use to use the shells from dinner at Olive Garden as puppets. Thanks for leaving us with so many good memories. Just wish you could still be with us. Ryan picked out his own sneakers yesterday. I know you would like them too. He is getting so big and completely has your sense of humor. I should have named him Stanley Jr. He was looking at our wedding pictures and wants you to come back so you can marry me again. I/We will never forget you. I will love you always Big Daddy....until next time. XOXO

"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.
