Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Jennifer is correct, I have been training to ride in the Police Unity Tour in 2011. I will make every effort to ride the 250 miles over the three days. We will leave Portsmouth Va and travel to Washington DC on our bicycles. I will wear the bracelet and do the ride in honor of YOU. I think about you everyday and while growing up how much you wanted to be a LEO. We as a family are proud of your accomplishments....... Love and miss you, Jeff

Here we are again. It is year 3 now and it is so difficult to wrap my head around the fact that it has been that long since I have heard your voice, touched your face, hugged you. For as much as we miss you and love you, God has tempered our pain in losing you with some awesome blessings. You would be so proud of our little brother. Jeffrey is so dedicated to honoring your memory and is working hard to participate in the Police Unity Tour next year. And I have begun to really live again; I never thought I had the strength until I survived losing you. Thank you for being such a wonderful gift in our lives! We love and think of you daily and promise to always keep your memory alive. Continue watching over us all. We love you so very much!

Today marks three years since that horrible day of hearing your accident called in over the air, and the minutes and hours that ticked by ever so slowly waiting on an update on your condition. HEaring your number called over the air with no response was the most bone chilling transmission I've ever heard. Continue to watch over us, and know that you'll always be remembered.

Always remembered, never forgotten:

Today we will gather with the families of other local fallen officers to honor those in law enforcement who have made the ultimate sacrifice during National Police Week. As each year passes, my sorrows in losing you lessen with the passage of time, but my heart misses you more and more. Please know that I am eternally blessed to have had you as my brother and look forward to the day I will look upon your face again. I love You!!!

You would have been 35 today. I remember the birthday of the broken arm and Snoopy cake like it was yesterday. I can still see your little freckeled face smiling. You thought having that broken arm made you a tough guy. I think you were maybe 5 or 6 at the time but, already you knew how to be strong. There are no more parties or cakes or presents on your birthdays, only sweet memories. But those memories are each precious gifts in themselves, just waiting to be opened and enjoyed. I love You always and forevermore.....

I know that I say this every time I visit this site, but it is a true today as it was the first: I miss you sooooooo much. It still hurts to know that I can't just pick up the phone and hear your voice, your laugh, get some of your sage advice...life is not the same without you and I know that it was not ment to be...it has changed...I have changed. What doesn't change is that we love you still!!!! We honor you still. We remember you ALWAYS!!! I love you!

These past two years without you have been the most difficult of my life. All of us have had to learn to live without you and it has been a challenge sometimes to find the strength to go on. However, through all of the challenges that I have faced I have looked to your example to give me the courage to face each day. It is because I love you so very much that I DO go on. I honor your sacrifice and that of all those who have gone before and will sadly come after. Words cannot in any way express the depth of loss your death has brought to my heart and soul. But know this little brother, I grieve your loss as much today as in that first minute of knowing and I love you as much today as ever. Please know that we all miss you desperately and how we wish that things could have been different. You are LOVED.

I came across your name amongst the many heroes listed at this site and wanted to stop in and leave a reflection. I know that your loved ones face each day with a challenge and and are able to get through the day because of the love they have for you. There are no magic words I can offer to help them with their pain except for them to take one day at a time and do everything in their power to keep your memory alive. You are a true hero and heroes never die. Continue to keep watch over all of them, let them feel your presence so they know you are near and watching over them. You have not been forgotten.

I did not want to let your birthday pass without saying how very much I miss you. How much we All miss you. I celebrate your birthdays now in honor of you by doing something "outside of the box" for myself. It feel like it captures some of your spirit. You always wanted to DO more, BE more, LIVE more. Please know your adventurous spirit at least lives on one special day a year. And that your memory lives every day inside my heart. Happy Birthday little brother!

Sweet brother, life has yet again delt a harsh blow to our family. Sometimes I have no clue how I am going to make it through one more day! Each time that I think I do not have the courage to keep going, I think of you and Mama being right beside me, lending me your strength. It helps to know that I have two angels on my side. I don't ever want to let either of you down. We were always a close family and that still has not changed; this too shall pass....my love as always, Jenn

I saw where someone in Deputy Mayo's family had left a reflection and some encouraging words on another officer's memorial page. I just wanted to stop by here to honor him and to thank his family for reaching out to others who are going through the same thing you are. So many of us have "met" on this site under sad circumstances, but it is our privilege to remember all the heros listed here and to keep their memories alive. God bless you always.

As time passes and life must continue to be lived for those of us left behind, I find that I look more and more to your examples for guidance. Some things have changed so drastically in just a year that it is sometimes very difficult for my soul to process and accept. Time just does not seem to be able to diminish the losses that we have been asked to face. I really don't expect them to ever be far from my heart and mind because they have become such a part of the person I am. Never would I have thought that it would take losing you to teach me some very important things about MYSELF. I trust that God knows what he is doing and has given me the best, most protective, honorable and dedicated guardian angel a girl could ask for! I think about you every day; look at your pictures and remember your smile, your laugh, your weird sense of humor. It is not enough, but it brings me a small measure of comfort to have those memories of you. I MISS YOU, MISS YOU , MISS YOU!!!!

I read a quote yesterday that made me think of you. "You can't live your Tomorrows like your Yesterdays".... You always lived life for what it was worth, moved forward without looking back and made the best of every situation. I am trying to follow your example on that now. Just knowing that I have you with me in spirit makes all the difference. I love you and miss you....Jenn

The badge shines bright
On the shirt of blue.
It takes a strong soul to wear it
A heart that's proud and true.

He says good night to his family
before he walks out the door.
He must go watch the streets,
Yet he does so much more.

In his car, when the call comes,
The lights are flashing blue and red.
He would never hurt his children,
He can't believe what was just said.

With his partner awaiting,
He has to be there, he must answer the call!
The wife is frantic,
"Put the gun down," but the man won't withdraw.

Shots are fired, his partner is hit in the arm,
One more flash is seen, someone must fall.
His partner is there, and so is the man,
and on the ground He lies, giving his all.

He says goodbye to his family,
With the pain in his chest.
The lights are flashing, blue and red,
As he begins his final rest.

Leaving a wife and two children,
Is the hardest thing He would ever do,
How will they live,
What are they going to go through?

Will His children grow old,
will His wife move on?
Will they know how much He loved them,
Now that He is gone?

He was only doing His job,
Trying to help who He could.
It was never known hard it was to be a Cop,
But now His family understood.

On three cheeks, three tears shine bright,
Like rain from a cloud,
It takes three strong souls to shed them,
Saying goodbye from hearts that will always be proud.

I know that this is not any special day on the calendar but I was just thinking about you today and missing you desperately. So much in life has changed since you left this world. Sometimes I wake up and think that I imagined it all and that I can just call you up on the phone and tell you everything that has happened; you grunting your replies as always. Nothing is the same but I suppose that it wasn't ment to be. I know God had a reason for taking you and I trust him to see far where I cannot. Just know that I miss you every moment of every day. Be our angel watching from above....
