Tom,
Today is your little boy's big day. 10 years old. He said that now he will be a pre-teen. It made me laugh and smile. Wow I don't know if I am even ready for that. I am trying to make it a great one for him. Taking him and his friends paintballing. He will even get his first set of BDU's. I just got what bdu's mean thanks. I know you will be there for sure. Just make sure Jimmy doesn't get knocked out too early! Jessica couldn't wait to buy and wrap his birthday present. It was kinda hard for me to buy for him. I had no ideas from you. You were always good at gifts for them.
I will give him his spankings and a pinch to grow an inch just for you! We will miss you there today and you will be on our minds and in our hearts. We love you always!!!!!!!!
Pam, jimmy and Jessica

tom,
It is going to be a real tough week comming up. I am trying to make it a great one for him. Give me strength and the patience to get it all done in time. I heard your boots in the kitchen the other night. I wouldn't mind if I even triped over them just one more time. I know that you are here and will never leave us. Thank you for being our angel and watching over us. I now know the sighns that I am getting are from you and only you. Keep giving them to me. They give me strength to go on everyday. Thanks!
My love as always.

Very frustrated with the lack of charges for your killer. I have not forgotten, and will see to it, that justice does prevail. Just be patient--and know that I will not give up, or ever forget!!

Tom,
Happy birthday to you. Packers playing football on your birthday seems right. We are going to stay home and watch them. Thank you for being there for Jimmy at boy scouts. He was so proud of his metra police car. Taking second place made it real nice and will help him a lot. Jessica took the pictures. Your brownies were a real hit. Please help us to continue to move on. The days are getting better thank you! We miss you so very much.

Tom,
Another christmas I did this alone. You loved to do all of the shopping and wrapping for us. I just did all of the cooking and baking. Couldn't even do that this year. I didn't get into the mood until the very last minute. Got a real tree just like we used to have. All of your star trek orniments are on it for you. I did my best to make this christmas better than last. Like you always wanted for Jimmy & Jessica. Jessica set her alarm for 6am just like you did! Just to be the first to get up and see what santa brought them. Thank you for helping me get through this holiday with your little sighns that you are still here. We miss and love you so very much. Please keep a special watch out for all of your brothers and sisters in blue this holiday season. keep them all safe!

My thoughts are with all of your loved ones during this holiday season. I have the outside of my home decorated in all blue lights in honor of all fallen police officers, one is lit every night in your honor and will be until New Years. I know the pain and frustration your loved ones feel every day and how much it takes to face each day and go on, but we do. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones. You are a true hero and have not been forgotten.
