It is the day before your Murder. Again, I still think about you everyday and all of the "inactions" that carried on that night. You have absolutely changed peoples lives forever that night. The unanswered question of why you were in the back by yourself will live forever. The "inactions" will also live on forever. Stay Rested My Brother.

Bobby,
It has now been 11 years since your murder. I was there that night. There will always be questions unanswered about what happened and why you were in the back by yourself. There were a lot of "people" on scene but only a couple of true cops were there. This incident has changed many lives forever. It's hard to understand stand how others can live with their "in actions". For that, I am sorry My Brother.

42 pages. All we have is 42 pages this Christmas. I’m not sure why but it better be worth it. It’s been awhile.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.

Always on my mind. Every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day I think of you. I had a dream a few years ago and you were in it. I was there and He answered. How do I get there?

I want to say that that one of your officers, Bob kazminski, will forever be in my heart and soul. He was one of the only officers that treated me with compassion when I was going through one of the hardest times of my life. I know the other officers that dealt with me just had enough of me, and they were not very nice to me to say the least, and would roughly haul me to jail. However, I can only imagine how stressful their jobs are and they are flawed people just like the rest of us, sometimes making mistakes. What I want to say though is officer Kazminski arrested me one day. I think for disorderly conduct. I tried strangling myself with the seatbelt while he was outside talking to my mother and brother. I remember looking at them and wondering why they didnt love me. So I thought. I was so very depressed, angry and just unable.to handle my feelings of deep sadness which I often took out in rage. Officer Kazminski opened the door saying,"why are u doing this!" But he didnt hurt me and I vould feel his compassion. Instead of bringing me to jail, he brought me to Network 180 to have me evaluated because I know he knew I needed help. I don't really remember what happened or where I went after that. Things r pretty foggy. It was so sad because I found out he was shot in the line of duty going to a call on a domestic. My heart broke. I couldnt get him out of my head because of the compassion he showed me. I was once again put in jail, and remember thinking of him all the time. Envisioning what must have happened that tragic day he died and thinking about his family even though I had no idea who they were, and rembering the day I met him. It haunted me and I prayed for his family all the time. The noble officer who showed compassion to me when I most definately needed it. A fallen beautiful soldier. May God always be with his loved ones,while hes in Heavan. Officer Kazminski...I will always remember you and u will always have a special place in my heart. God bless you and all those who have tragically lost their lives while doing their jobs. Trying to protect us.
