Days go by and the thoughts of you still remain. Although we had not seen another for many years, your face still reminds me of when you were a child. Paul Michael is so proud of you, and he and your Mom were so strong during the wake and funeral. I will always regret not introducing my two children to you. You were so close....

We were all privileged to have known you, your dedication in everything you accomplished in life is inspiring. I am thankful that I was able to get leave to get up to for Jess and Pete's wedding and see everyone again and of course to be able to introduce you to my wife Bettina. She loved meeting everyone, she vividly remembers our conversation with you be the dart board. I appreciate the help mi amigo :).We will always remember you my friend. We miss you bro, everyone does.... You will live forever in our hearts. God speed

I come to your page to check if the coward who ended your life has been caught. Its frustrating to see that he is still at large. But I'm certain that your brother's who you worked with are endlessly working towards an answer. I'll continue to pray for you and your family both blood and blue, so that they may find strength in knowing that they had you in thier lives. The coward who took your life will see his demise!

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 man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Talbot, especially to his fiancee. 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 Daniel, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him 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 Daniel's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Daniel's life was about so much more than the way he died. Daniel will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.
Officer Talbot, 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 :)

It takes a very special person to be a police officer and a very unique person to work gangs. As a gang officer you work because of your passion, and I'm sure you had a passion for life as well. Everyday I put on my uniform I'll think of you, and I promise to keep that passion strong. God speed Brother.....
