Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My Dearest Pierre,
I can't believe it has been 3 1/2 years now since you have been gone!!! The pain is still soooooo intense! It seems like just yesterday WE were all down at the "Rancho Mirage" house, and you threw Kenneth in the pool, he hit the water so hard it made him cry, but that didn't stop him from idolizing you!!!! You were his HERO. Kenneth is almost 12 years old now and he still speaks of you often.

We LOVE and MISS you very much!!!!!!! I know you are watching and protecting us everyday!!!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO!!!!!!!!

The pain of losing you is such an intense unbearable experience; it has taken me this long to at least reflect on your life on here. Great love only happens once in a lifetime to the fortunate few, and you will always be just that for me. You have left many amazing memories, life experiences I thought only happen in dreams and fairytales. Those memories are precious as much as you are the most precious human being I have ever known. Your profession in law enforcement never determined who you are, but the great person you are determined your choice or destiny to be a great deputy sheriff.

I chose you to be my only husband, the father of our children, and I look back with no regrets. Part of raising children the best we can in all our abilities with the best of intentions does entail sacrifice which I am far too familiar with, but to see what the girls have become with so many wonderful traits they inherited and adapted from you far surpasses anything anyone can say. We won’t mention the bad ones, ha-ha. Now I can honestly ask, “What sacrifice?” Seeing those girls now makes me forget all those difficult times. I really hope you’re watching from heaven, and you probably knew our grand-daughter, Stephanie, before we did when Chantal gave birth to her. After all we all know you were there in spirit.

Pierre embraced and held life close to his heart as he experienced death nearby, especially when told me what he went through when his buddy Dave died, and then Steve. For some unforeseen reason, he had to mention his own “near-death” experiences, so I had to ask what a “near-death” experience is; he told me how close the freeway pavement was to his shoulder as he avoided a slower car lane changing in front of him in spite of his high-speed siren and lights going on. Pierre proudly emphasized the many times he skillfully avoided the very circumstance that took his life. If he survived, he would have chalked it up with all the other what he called “near-death” stories. Pierre served and died for an important purpose that requires quite a bit of courage and bravery. In February 2004, when my first grandmother died, he gave me his condolences, and we ended up making peace with each other knowing if anything was ever to happen to either of us, we both have each other’s forgiveness.

Both Pierre and I look at Chantal, Kristina, and Alicia with cherished love and admiration. I thank God for the gift of a wonderful earthly father He provided for our girls, but I pray that Chantal, Kristina and Alicia find and get to know their Heavenly Father. Please, all I ask of anyone who believes is to include our girls in your prayers. Don’t forget Stephanie, our grand-daughter when she is old enough to learn about Him. She will know her grand-dad from our memories, although we do prefer for her and any more grand-children to know grandpa in person, we can make do as grandpa Pierre would want. I thank you all for reading this . . . God Bless! Pierre, you still live in my memories and dreams!!!!!!!! 8

I miss you so much Pierre I could scream. It's almost Christmas and I have Alicia with me to spend together and Chantal arriving shortly afterwards with her beautiful Stephanie. It seems sometimes I'm ok and other times, like hearing of another officer losing his life yesterday that the pain is still so strong. You were the love of my life, my darling Pierre. I know when I see you again it won't seem so long, but right now it seems like forever. I'm doing the best I can. I feel like I am a better person because of having you in my life. You walked on water.
I love you ~ Diana

Another year has passed and you are still the most difficult loss. I continue to think of you and wonder how your daughters are doing. I know it must be tough for them without you here. My trips through Olancha cause me to reflect upon the conversations I had with your mom. I hope it has gotten easier for her over time. I wish everyone that ever knew you well is granted some sort of peace.

It still breaks my heart to realize you're gone...

"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.

To Pierre, his wife and daughters and other family and friends:

Today is the second anniversary of Pierre's tragic death and the day all your lives changed forever. As I read the loving reflections left by those who called Pierre beloved, I am mindful of the journey we all struggle with as we try to make a life for ourselves...we know that is what our beloved would want us to do, but the heart always aches for the one who can only be with us in spirit for now.

I hope that you all find some peace in your heart as you hold your memories like the rare and beautiful pearls they are.

May Pierre's spirit continue to soar and his memory continue to inspire.

Rest in Peace, Pierre. Your valor and dedication and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Pierre,
Tomorrow it will be a year since you were taken from us here and called to go 10-8 in heaven. I know you are there with Dave swapping stories and watching over us. I still can't believe you're gone. I remember our Christmas parties and the fun we all had together. You truly were the life of a party!! You always had a smile on your face and always found a way to make the best of a bad situation. You are truly missed by all of us in your law enforcement family. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.

Pierre,

Tomorrow will be a year since your passing and it still feels like it happened yesterday.

Every day at work I wear my black metal bracelet with your name on it. People often ask me who it is for, how you died, and of course I tell them about you and the many funny stories I have. Even though I still tear up when I talk about you, I feel it is my duty to let them know what a wonderful man you were!

Not a day goes by where I don't think of something to do with you. Just yesterday, I caught an episode of the Addams Family and I started to laugh at the memory of you grabbing my arm as if you were Gomez and I was Morticia while we were working the desk. I remember being shocked that you would do something like that and yet, I was cracking up! Talk about bittersweet...

This summer I plan on following your fishing spots map that you drew for me. I may get a little lost, but I know you will guide me to the right place.

Just know that we all miss you very much!
