I can't believe that Scott has been gone for a year now. I don't know Scott's family personally but I feel like I do. I put a srapbook together last June on Scott and my husband, my two girls, and I met with a very nice lady by the name of Barb at the South Bend police department who took the scrapbook and promised to give it to either Scott's mom or dad. Barb was telling us what a wonderful person Scott was and how when he would come in a room he would light it with his smile. I wanted to cry right there and then. Well Scott's mom recieved the memorial scrapbook. I was pleasantly surprised when his mom sent me a thank-you note. She told me that she would cherish the book for the rest of her life. I think about Scott's mom quite often and I wonder how she is doing. I seen her on the news the night of Scott's one year annivesary. I have to tell you what a strong lady she is. I know she misses Scott very much. I believe that it's the support of so many people and the fact that she know's Scott stands by her side even if it's not in body. It's been one year but everyone still misses you so much Scott. Please keep watch over your family and many, many friends some you knew, some you didn't. GOD BLESS

Scott- I attended your candlelight vigil on Monday night and I actually felt my heart smile a bit. I knew you were there with all of us smiling down. I miss you terribly!! Please know that. You are forever on my mind and in my heart!

I find it ironic that a year later from Scott's shooting, to the day, that Michael gets shot. From what I'm told they were memorializing Scott the day of the other shooting. Now there's one more to add to that tragic list. Was home visiting for the summer and Michael was telling me about his friend that was killed, Scott. I am so very sorry for your loss(es). My heart goes out to each and every one of his family, friends and co-workers. From one who served to those who still do so, Armed Forces a/o Law Enforcement. Thanks for all your hard work and risking your lives daily.

It is so difficult to believe that a year has come and gone. The grief the community feels is still as fresh as the day you were taken away. The questions still linger, now we have to say good-bye to a fellow officer.

I'm sure that Nick, the other officers and the community in general never expected to have to face another tragedy so soon. Know that your sacrifice is appreciated still today. Help Nick through this and watch over his family and your brothers at the South Bend Police Department.

My thoughts and prayers are with both of your families, your friends, your fellow officers and South Bend. Rest, be assured you will never be forgotten.

I know you were with us Monday night; not because we held a silent moment for you, but because you were waiting for your newest Blue Angel, Cpl. Polizzotto. Keep watching over everyone Scott. You are truly still missed and not forgotten.

Scott,
I cant believe its already been a year, it just seems like yesterday that your life was taken from us. You are not forgotten for your couragous heroism. You served to protect and that is what took your life. Watch over your fellow officers, guide them, and keep them safe. You and your family are in my prayers and thanks for doing your job with love and honor for others. It takes a special person to be a police officer, and you were one of them. May God Bless you forever and for always. You were a hero and will always be.

Boy, oh, boy. What a guy! I only read 5 pages of reflections, but have been very touched by the affection
and adoration your friends have for you. You were an
exceptional guy and I can tell they are all honored to be
called your friend. It is heartwrenching how much they
miss you and the void your death has created. I feel
for your families as they go thru this upcoming trial. I
just read tonite that another officer from your dept. was
shot and killed. At least the suspect was killed in self
defense and people don't have to endure an ugly trial
and the taxpayers are spared from incarcerating a
guy that has no regard for human life. Never having
met you I just can't even imagine the depth of loss this
brings for everyone who loved you on a personal and
professional level. But it just breaks my heart. Your
tombstone is beautiful and a fitting tribute to a man who
was loved by man and beast!

Scott has been physically gone from us for a little over a year. He is still with us in mind and spirit. Now he will meet his brother officer Nick Polizzotto in Heaven.

As if it isn't hard enough to remember what happened a year ago, It's happening again. Trying to remember how strong you were we'll try to get through this again.

I'm sure all is well up there and I know the golf courses have got to be beautiful!

The past few days have been tough. We've all thought a lot about you and the things you've missed. We know you've been here in spirit, we can feel it. You've been on our minds all morning as we try to understand how this has happened to us again. We wake up this morning to the news of yet another senseless tragedy. Nick is comin' your way. I know you'll take him under your angel wing and show him around. Keep watch over everyone as we try to make sense once again of the senseless.

It was one year ago yesterday since the community said good bye to you. A hero to the end. Today, a fellow officer has made the ultimate sacrifice and will be joining you. We pray for his family, fellow officers and know you and other fallen heroes are there to help him through. God bless you all and help us to make this a better place.

One year later and yet another senseless loss and tragic ending to a young life. I know you are watching over all the guys and we need you to help keep them strong for many will be overcome with grief. I know there are going to be a lot of whys just like there where a year ago- God has a plan for us all and we must respect that. We love you and miss you and your memory will not fade. Watch out for Nick and help to greet him as he passes the gates. Another true hero gunned down on the streets-defending freedom. My God grant us peace and strength- RIP Brother, for we will meet again, I love you and miss you-God Speed-Big Man

Oh Scott, we just got done praying at your vigil that we would never have to go through this again and for the love of God, now Nick is gone. Mike is going to pull through.

Oh sweet Jesus, will this ever stop? Does no one have any regard for life or for officers anymore? Little Fish, please meet and welcome him to his place in heaven, now.

I just cannot believe we are going to go through this again. Please watch over all of us, we need you more than ever.

Scott,

In a strange way, I feel like I know you. I hear all of the stories and even though we never met, I know I would have loved you. I need to thank you. You have no idea how you have impacted my life. In the year since you have left, my sister has been to hell and back and the ONLY reason she is still with us is because of you. I truly believe that you are her guardian angel and I thank you for that. I thank you for Bruno, for Kathy, and for your memories that give her strength each day. I thank you for being such a good friend to her and for being such a hero in life and in death. I cant believe that it has been a year since you passed and I am thinking of you and praying for you and your loved ones daily. Thank you for giving me my sister back. God Bless.
