Not a day goes by that i dont think of Officer Beaulieu.
We were close by neighbors for almost a year and my self and my mother formed a close relationship with her. Often when she got off work she would come to our house in her pj's and just sit on the couch and talk to us.

She was an amazing person. I remember the first time i saw the inside of her house, she had a dark red wall in her living room that i loved! after i saw her wall i wanted to paint mine so bad!

After the accident, i did. It, along with the paint swatch of the color she gave me, are just two things i see daily that demind me of her.

I miss her so much. EVERYTIME i see a cop car with its lights on i break down. After Lisa's death, i prayed to God and asked him if she could be my new Gaurdian Angel, I know with out a doubt Lisa is now. I have her picture on the dash of my car and the pin from her funeral.

Lisa. i miss you. i love you. please contienue to watch over me and keep me safe.

Hey Girl- your dad came over Thursday night and visited Cluey and Barbados. Dorinda made the hor'douvres, like she does best and we drank wine and let him just talk. He is hurting so much. But he kept a strong face- just like you did. The boys showed off for him and we had such a good time. We miss you and hate that these circumstances are what brought Drew to our family. Love you-

Romy,
I knew this week would be hard to sit through your trial. There are so many tears in the courtroom. I know where you are is so majestic, you would not come back even if you could. But, I sure miss having you around. I don't know if you are watching the play by play in this trial. If you are I bet you said "Dill hole!" I aint even talking about the man that took your life. This has stirred up alot of emotions of life going on without you, and anger that I thought I had dealt with. I will practice what I preach and only time will heal the wounds. Bonnie Lisa is getting big. She is 6mths old now. She just started baby food this week. I know you are really proud she carries your name. I have already started saving "lisa things" so she will have an understanding of who you are. One day, ya'll will meet and we will all be together. You were my most unique friend and there will never be another like you!
I love you,
Michelle

Lisa,

The last few months were really hard without you, but this next week I will need God's strength more than ever. I am so torn about even being at the trial, but I want the jury to see how many people loved you and cherished your friendship. Nancy and I were talking about your wedding last week and what a gorgeous bride you were. We laughed at your unique choice of wedding invitations and all the little things you did to make it conform to your personality. There will truly never be another you. My heart ached when I worked the Bret Michaels and Vince Neil concert. I talked to them and told them all about you and how fun you were. I took a picture with them because I knew you would have. I am at peace with your death and do know I will see you again but sometimes I go crazy wishing I could talk to you or see your beautiful smile and hear that laugh of yours. I can not hate the man that took your life. That would only punish me, not him. No matter what happens during the trial, it will not bring you back and in the end God will have the final say. I just pray God gives everyone peace of mind because I know you are okay and no decision a jury or judge will render can take away what you meant to me or my precious memories of you. I love and miss you so much. Kenny Chesney's song "Today"...rips me up and makes me cry everytime I hear it....he talks about it not being fair that you died too young and wonders where you'd be today........ I wonder that too .....and if he the man that killed you knows what he took away from so many.....God has a plan for us all and I was lucky his plan included our friendship...

Today is Christmas. As we open gifts this morning, I thought of you and some of the funny things you gave me when you were part of my family. My heart aches for your mom and sisters today. I know you are in heaven watching all of us. Conrad and Mike have someone to help them decorate. Please know that I miss you and I do treasure the years you were a part of our family. I have been finding pictures of us as I go through things getting the house settled.....2 years post hurricane still getting settled......I miss your beautiful smile and warm laugh. The doctors say PaPaw will be joining you soon. It is tearing my Daddy apart. Please give him a hug when he gets there. I am sure you and MaMaw have hooked up already but when my PaPaw makes his way to heaven, take good care of him. He always adored you! Love you and Miss you!

May the time you served have changed someone's life forever. You may not have known it, or maybe they dont know it. But they will be forever grateful. Rest in Peace.

To my Sister in Blue that I never knew:

I am sorry I never met you. What a fine young officer you were and will forever be!

I am sickened and saddened by your Lisa. I am also so proud of brave colleagues like you who stand the thin blue line to protect the everyday good people of America who take us for granted.

It is so sad that your young life was cut short.

I offer my deepest respect to you and my thoughts and prayers to your friends, colleaguse and family. You are a blue Angel now on St. Michael's shift in Heaven. Please keep an eye on us down here.

Your brother in blue

Today is Thanksgiving, I thought about your requests for pumpkin cheesecake. I didn't make it this year, maybe I will around Christmas, just for you :). I still miss you terribly my friend, don't think I will ever not miss you. Lisa, for real, it's not the same without you. Love you.

Dearest Lisa,

You know us stoic Texas men... we could accidentally chainsaw off a foot and all we would
ask for is a band-aid and maybe a couple of paper towels if it ain't too much trouble.

Even so it is no easy thing writing a reflection to you, my greatest of heroes. Every
officer (and firefighter for that matter) is a hero the day they take their oath, not
because of what they've done but because of what they've committed to. You did what I and
many like me never had the courage to - selflessly serving others and reserving the
greatest danger for yourself so that we could be safe. I am blessed to have known
you, humbled by what you did in life and proud to call you my sister and my hero.

Your loving brother,

David Neal.

"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.

It's hard to believe that it has been almost 7 months since I've heard your voice, but I heard it today. Channel 6 did a story on the accident reconstruction and ended the piece with your swearing-in interview. It brought back a rush of emotions. It was good to hear your voice and remember how excited you were when you hired on, but it also served as a reminder that you are no longer with us anymore. Often times I forget that you are gone and when something comes along that reminds me of you. hit hits me like a brick again. Lisa, I miss you.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about you lately as we planned the wedding. The day of the wedding I had to drive under the Delaware underpass just to have a moment of closeness with you before the wedding. I tried to slide something hot pink into my bouquet, dress, shoe, but never could get it to work. I wanted you to walk down the aisle with me. So many people said his new bride reminded them of you. I miss you and all the fun times. You know who is writing this. Fly high and make sure my mansion is decorated to the max when I arrive. Love you and miss you!

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Beaulieu. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Lisa, she sounds like he was a great woman with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew her in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Lisa's life and the WOMAN that she was. Remember that Lisa's life was about so much more than the way she died. Lisa will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Beaulieu, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost five years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

Lisa,
This morning Lew was putting some of your pictures in a frame to display in his office. I know its so crazy that now me,Lew & Tina are in CID. We all long for the good old days. This week the department year books arrived,with that so many memories. Of course with Halloween coming up we are all thinking of the good parties we use to have. I remember the year you dressed like an angel with with wings and all. Looking at that picture now is so haunting! However, I know you are watching down on us.
I miss you!

Maybe in another life I could find you there
Pulled away before your time. I can‘t deal it‘s so unfair
It feels like Heaven‘s so far away
It feels like the world has grown cold
Now that you‘ve gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary‘s can‘t bring back what‘s taken from me.
I reach to the sky and call out your name
And if I could trade I would.
It feels like Heaven‘s so far away
It stings now the world is so cold
Now that you‘ve gone away

Lisa, I miss you.

Hey Lisa,
It's almost been 6 months now since you left us and the pain is still there. When I think of you I can't help getting kinda teared up. This morning after shift was over, I found your name in the Blues. Lew, Tina, Charla, Yvette, Kim and I went to Austin to join your partents as they were Honored by recieving a "Star of Texas Award" from Governor Rick Perry in you Honor. I can't tell you how very proud we were to be there and stand as they called your name. Me, Jeff and Rich still sit around and talk about the memories we will always have. I sure miss you. It's still so hard to believe that your gone. You were a great friend, one that can never be replaced. I will always love and miss you.
