Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Robbie,
"We miss you" doesn't even begin to express the emptiness of family life and community life without you. Watching Karen and Chaytor leave here without you and return to their home without you tears Roy and me apart but I do believe in THE afterlife and that you are there with God. I also believe in angels and I sure hope that you are one because we all need you so much right now.
Six plus months and in many ways it's tougher than the first month. Your 7th anniversary was really tough with Chaytor sick and Easter egg hunting in the back yard without Uncle Robbie. I did the best I could to accompany Chaytor and he really had the right idea. His eyes would light up as he discovered each egg. We filled his basket.
I sent jelly beans to your gravesite with Karen Easter evening. I guess you and I were tied when it came to eating jelly beans and peanut butter.
You were an angel to all you knew and loved and many, manystrangers in need: please continue to be Karen and Chaytor's special angel as each day goes by.
Love you,
Mary

Dear Robbie,

Today would have been our 7 year anniversary. I spent yesterday with Carloyn, Russ, Scott, Jamie, Anne, and the Adams clan- and all our kids. We had a blast! I finally rode a 4 wheeler and even got Chaytor on it- he obviously loved it! Jamie is going to help me buy one so we can ride when ever we want. I am sure you were smiling down on us- and praying I didn't wreck!!!
I have accepted the part time position at Powhatan next year. I hope I have done the right thing- I will miss Midlo and my family there, but I guess it is time to move on.
I know you watch over me and Chaytor. Please know we think of you often, miss you tons, and love you lots! You know what I mean when I write that I hope I have your blessings with moving on in my life. We talked about it once- never thought it would actually come true. You have wonderful friends down here that are now starting to become my wonderful friends- no wonder you enjoyed working with these great people.

Miss and Love you,

Karen

Robbie,

I check this site almost daily. I am floored at the number of officers that are killed in the line of duty. It really opens your eyes to what kind of jobs these people do everyday, the kind of job that you did. We used to argue about who should get more of the county's money - teachers or the policemen. If I had only known the extent of your job, I would've agreed with you entirely!

Our school recently developed a scholarship in your name. The purpose is to help out a special needs elementary student. I know you are smiling knowing that you are still helping people from above. They also asked me to choose a book to be dedicated to the library in your name -I chose Five Little Ducks because I know how much Chaytor loves Quackers! He is getting so big. I see him at school and am in awe at how much he is looking like a little Robbie!

Jason had a wonderful time at the ball field - although he definitely isn't as young as he used to be! You would have been proud at the number of people there - all for you. Please forgive Ty and I for not being out there to cheer the teams on, but as I'm sure you know, Ty is going through some issues! He says your name now when we ask him who lives in the sky and whenever he puts the police car in his puzzle of vehicles.

Easter is this weekend and everyone is coming over. Know that you will be first in our thoughts.

Lots of love ~

Robbie

It's been six long hard months since you left us. I want you to know that I love you and miss you very much. There has been alot of good thinks that have happened. Scott, Charlie and Jason planned a great memorial softball tournament and there were 18 or 19 teams that played this past weekend. It was good to see so many that you used to play baseball and softball with I know that you were there with us, because the weekend was so beautiful and the atmosphere throughout the tournament was a good atmosphere by all. Jason popped his knee out of joint and Charlie has battle injuries also. Guess what they are not as young as they once was. Chaytor threw the first pitch to Charlie Jr. and he did pretty well. Robbie the one thing that helps me to keep going is that I know I'll see you again one day.

I was putting together a field training manual for one of the new hires today, and I remembered how much you enjoyed scheduling our SRT training. I know that you were a firm believer in "train like you fight and fight like you train." Every new hire will know you and the sacrifice you made. Things aren't the same without you Robbie. You are sorely missed!

Hey Robbie,
Just wanted to stop in a say hey. Going to work here in just a little while. I stopped by your grave the other day and had some memories while I stood there. Saw your mom and dad the other day at the county seat, they seem to be doing well. I know Karen moved in the new house, I hear that went well. I think about you all the time brother, every time I go to work, every time I go into sheetz, every time I go up red lane rd. But your in my thoughts all the time as well as your family. Joshua and chaytor are about the same age, joshua is talking great now and Im sure chaytor is also. Anyways, just wanted to stop and say hey, i know your looking over us all the time. Its good to know that we will see you again one day. Talk to you again soon.

Robbie,

I was down in Chaytor's class yesterday working and he was sitting only feet away from me. He is such a silly little fellow and quite the charmer. He was busy making funny faces at me and I couldn't help but make a few back. He made me think of your mom chasing after those Green boys. So mischievous and always in to something. How she kept up with three boys is beyond me (I have a hard enough time with two). I bet Karen has to keep her running shoes handy just to keep up with him. As always Robbie, you are in my thoughts. I'll keep praying for God to keep a special watch over Karen and Chaytor. I know he's listening and so are you.

Robbie,

Karen brought Jay's and my pictures back the other day of you and I think we relived every moment over again. This time we missed having you to laugh at some of the things we remembered. We miss those carefree days. Unfortunately we took so much for granted. I ride through and speak to you most every week. Reese is sometimes with me and asks every time is that where Robbie now lives and I still struggle to say yes.
We miss you everyday.
Chaytor is doing so well. I enjoy having him come to play. I will try to have a blue sucker for him always. He looks so much like you.
Karen- you have our support, love, and prayers.

Hey baby. You have a new friend in heaven today. Mr. Norris (our neighbor) passed away. I went over to his house to let his wife Ana know that she is not alone. She is still in shock, I remember those first few days. It was like it didn't happen. I told her any emotion she had was fine to have- be angry, be sad, be happy (when you can) and I told her that I am here when she needs me.
Chaytor is talking a lot lately. He is like a different kid! Its great. He says Daddy a lot and we passed by 2 deputies yesterday and he said "daddy's car!" All I can say is yes, that it is just like daddy's car. He is so young and doesn't understand this. We make sure to look through picture books and digital pictures and videos of us together. He knows you, he remembers you. It still shocks me to hear your voice on the videos- my heart skips a beat. But we are getting through. I am trying to go on with our lives, but you know i will always love you, Chaytor will always know you, and we are forever Robbis Green's family.Miss you honey.

I know well your wife's pain. I lost my husband of the same name (Robbie). Your family will be in my prayers and I hope your little boy grows up so proud of his daddy...

Please let your wife feel you by her side...

I was going through old papers tonight and I found an old Valentine's day card that you wrote to me before we were married. You wrote a little note to me. I found pictures of us from high school to the day after we were married- in the hospital at Zack's birth.

I miss you

Earl, Hey we have not done riverdance in the middle of 711 in quite sometime,so remind me next time. boy,how i regret not keeping that video.who had that idea anyway? you or josh? There is talk of riding the mountainbikes from Richmond to D.C. to help celebrate you in May but that is definitely going to leave a mark. I wonder if anyone will care if I stop and smoke. No matter what I will come to D.C. in May.Saw Chaytor the other day and he looked so much like you I almost called him robbie (or earl) He is something to be proud of man. I think about you everyday and so do alot of others

Robbie, I just wanted to write to you tonight. I know we talk all the time but it is different when I write to you. I miss you so much. I miss having my big brother around. I want to thank you for letting me tag behind you every where growing up. Although I was really not behind you because you always made me feel included. You did not seem to mind me ever being there right beside you and hopefully your friends didn't either. Oh the things we all did. Charlie has really been there for Chaytor and Karen when ever they need something. I guess you already know since that is what big brothers do. I see you alot when I really open my eyes and look at things around me. Your the best!
Love, Jason

Hey Robbie! Just dropping in to say hello. I was looking over the equipment list for the SWAT school next week, and I thought about our last SRT training together. I'm sure the clerks would not have been pleased to see how we treated their courtroom that night. My favorite moment had to be Matt doing his Blazing Saddles impression! I guess you know about my promotion. You and I always laughed about which one of us would get one first. You'll always be the "General" to me. We check on everyone for you- sometimes from a distance so we don't burden them- so that we know they're okay. I know that you are. Talk to you in a while.

I saw your dad at church today. I imposed on him and you and for that I apologize, yet I had to tell your dad just how much you've changed my life. I haven't been to church much in about six years, but God brought me there today in spite of all my fears. I think about you every single day since you left. It's so hard for me to put into words how you've touched my life. I've wanted to visit you so many times, but my self induced fears have prevented this. Forgive me if my words don't come out quite right. Over the last few years my world has become an increasingly smaller place often filled with fears and thoughts few could ever understand. I've tried whatever doctors told me to battle anxiety and depression, but nothing really seemed to get better. Then, you died and everything changed. My friend was gone. We grew up together and I loved your family as much as my own, but my defects caused me to lose touch with so many. I was so angry at myself. How many times did I not say hi because of my fears? Looking back, too many to count I know. I thank God I worked up the nerve to said hi about a month before you left. I still remember you smiling and telling me "no problem" when I asked you about a situation requiring an officer's advice. You never made me feel like you were judging me and I thank you for that. Now, whenever awful, negative thoughts try to overtake me I think of you. Nothing in my life could ever be as terrible as my mind believes and it could be so much worse. So, I talk to you and God. I pray for you and your family. I've tried harder to fix my defects and it's begining to work. You have everything to do with that. Thank you Robbie for being my friend. I promise to visit more and I will continue to talk with you often. I hope you don't mind listening because can talk A LOT! You are indeed a beautiful angel and I am so grateful to have known you.

I know you probably were watching anyway and laughing at us but we did not spike the van or trample brad again so that is a good sign. hoo-ya, masterchief. Alright, I will stop with the army jokes. Sure do wish you were here right now. see ya

Karen, I wanted to let you know I still think about you and Chaytor everyday. You 2 and your families are in my prayers everyday. God Bless you and keep you strong! If there is anything I can do let me know. We need to get our kids together for a play date.

Robbie, it is a new year, your wife is a very strong woman, I don't think I would have been able to hold up as well as she looks like she has. Your family and her family have taken great care of her and Chaytor. Danny keeps me updated on how she and Chaytor are doing. Thank you for bringing this family of deputies together like never before. I know you are watching over them and your family.

God bless your family, the Green family and your coworkers families. We all still remember and miss you.

--"If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded." -- Maya Angelou

Aloha Deputy Sheriff Robert E. (Robbie) Green,
Thank you for your service and dedication to your community and your country. You and all officers that continue to lay your lives on the line and pay the ultimate sacrifice to keep our communities and country safe, will NEVER be forgotten.

I personally pledge, (after one of Hawaii's own, Honolulu Police Officer Steve Favela, lost his life in the line of duty protecting our Commander in Chief, President George W. Bush), to become a continuum of the ODMP light. That light is in the form of an ODMP tribute. People from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, religion, profession, education, and geographical location can share here. That "LIGHT" comes from within the heart and soul of every person who cares to share a word or two on behalf of each and every fallen officer. Every fallen officer is an hero. The ODMP; Officer Down Memorial Page gives us a place to come together and share our feelings as one family. May we find comfort as we give comfort to the families who have lost a loved one.

As we say in Hawaii, “We are`Ohana.” We are family. God Bless this fallen hero. May we embrace him as one of our own family member; our `Ohana. No one will ever be able to replace you for you were unique and very special. No one; not in this lifetime. May God allow you to rest in His Divine peace.

Deputy Sheriff Robert E. (Robbie) Green, I wish you, your loved ones, your fellow officers, and friends, peace and love beyond all understanding.

--- May this Hawaiian prayer give all those who read it comfort. ---

THE PEACE OF " I "
KA MALUHIA O KA "I"

Peace be with you, All My Peace,
O ka Maluhia no me oe, Ku'u Maluhia a pau loa,

The Peace that is " I ", the Peace that is "I am".
Ka Maluhia o ka "I", owau no ka Maluhia,

The Peace for always, now and forever and evermore.
Ka Maluhia no na wa a pau, no ke'ia wa a mau a mau loa aku.

My Peace " I " give to you, My Peace " I " leave with you,
Ha'awi aku wau I ku'u Maluhia ia oe, waiho aku wau I ku'u Maluhia me oe,

Not the world's Peace, but, only My Peace,
The Peace of " I ".

A'ole ka Maluhia o ke ao aka, ka'u Maluhia wale no,
Ka Maluhia o ka "I".

Hey Birthday Buddy! I can’t believe I no longer get to share my “birthday dinner” with you. I miss our silly discussions about the time and place we would eat. I always felt like you should choose because you were the “real Green”, but you would always let me have the final say. I bet that doesn’t surprise many people. That’s just the type of person you were.

Karen and Chaytor came to visit this evening. We really enjoy spending time with them. If you could only see your crazy son and nephew running around chasing each other! Karen and I have decided that they must take after your side of the family! ;) I only wish that we had spent more time together when you were here with us. When we take Ty outside we always point to you in the sky. He thinks that Uncle Robbie lives on the moon. I want him to grow up knowing who you are. I want him to know what an important part of our family you were and always will be. I hope to instill in him the family and community values that were so close to your heart.

Happy Birthday, Robbie. I will make sure I make two wishes this year.
