I was so honored to be a part of the dedication and renaming of the bridge in your honor. It was bitter-sweet but it was fantastic. As I remember your funeral and all the great and wonderful things you did for others I realize that You were a great example of what true ministry should be. I'm just sorry I never verbally told you I LOVED YOU too.

Shawn. I miss you so much and I still think of you everyday. I keep telling myself that you're somewhere in hiding and that I'll be hearing from you again. Please know that you will never be forgotten by me. YOU are gone but never will be forgotten.If I could talk to you again or even hear the sound of your voice again, be it in a dream or on a tape would help ease the pain that I still feel so strongly. So just know that I'm always thinking of you.ALWAYS' Your Cousin and Sister, Wondra. I MISS HEARING YOU LAUGH.

AS I REFLECT THE TIME WE WERE IN THE JERSEY CITY POLICE ACADEMY TOGETHER AND GRADUATED IN 1989. HOW PROUD WE WERE TO BE A POLICE OFFICER IN THE GERAT CITY OF JERSEY CITY WHERE WE BOTH RESIDED AND GAVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY THE LOVE AND CARING THAT GOD HAVE SHOWN AND GIVEN US. I REMEMBER YOU BEING A GREAT PERSON, TRUE FRIEND AND CO-WORKER. I DO KNOW THAT THE JERSEY CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CITY OF JERSEY CITY AND ITS CITIZENS HAVE LOST A GREAT OFFICER. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. MY BIBLE TELLS ME THAT WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER ONEDAY WHICH I TRUELY BELIEVE. WHAT A GREAT DAY THAT WILL BE!
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO GIVE YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FELLOW CO-WORKERS THE STRENGTH TO LIVE THEIR LIFE AS GOD HAS GRANTED YOU. WE EACH HAVE A CROSS TO BARE. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO REST YOUR SOUL AND BLESS THOSE WHO LOVE YOU.
YOUR FRIEND AND BROTHER IN BLUE,

In loving memory of P.O. Shawn Carson: I read all the
reflections for you and Robert and I guess I never left a
reflection for you last year so will do that now. Maybe I
was just beside myself because I certainly do remember reading your tragic story. According to these
reflections, you knew Jesus personally and that blesses me greatly as I know I will meet you face to face one day and be able to thank you for your sacrifice. There is none greater than Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We don't get to Heaven based on what we do, but by the sacrifice He made on the cross for our sins. AMEN! Thank you for your fine example to those that worked with you and knew you. There is now a huge
void that cannot be filled, but as you are remembered, thoughts will turn to your exemplary life and we will be filled with pride and respect and love for the man you became. You were a wonderful testimony to the Lord you served. God be with all those who mourn and may His promises lift all those with heavy hearts for many years to come. I am reaching thru this computer
and giving a big HUG to your \family, both at home and
at work. I wish I could erase your pain, but it is God-size and He's the only One up to the task.

Shawn just to let you know the state of New jersey has decided to re-name the Lincoln Highway Bridge,after you and Rob. Also the state has finally repaired the entire bridge.It took a death of two fine men to finally light a fire under the Dept.of Transportation. Enjoy your first Christmas roll call in heaven.

My thoughts are with your loved ones as the first anniversary of your end of watch arrives. Keep watch over them and protect them as well as those still out on patrol. The exterior of my home is decorated with all blue lights, one of those blue lights will be lit in your honor every night until after New Years. You have not been forgotten.
