Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.

I was on this page leaving a reflection for a fallen brother of my department and I wanted to wish you well and congratulate you on your son.
I had my son a few weeks before your wife and my thoughts have been with her and your baby boy. He will grow up to know what a great man and hero his daddy is.
God Bless...

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Pawlowski and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Pawlowski, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Pawlowski is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family, and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

By William Butler Yeats
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear the water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

Dear John, you were so young, so good looking, you had a great job and a beautiful wife!. What everyman dreamed of. All that was taken in the blink of an eye. Why? No one will know but God. Take comfort in knowing that your wife Kim and baby will be takencare of by all of us here in Philadelphia; just as your fellow brother and sisters in blue are being taken care of down here and their families. Thanks so much for your service. It was a pleasure knowing you and your family. God bless and may the gentle hand of God be on your family from this day forward

thank you to officer pawlowski for your willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice. It is not how he died but the fact that he was willing to do whatever it took to help the people of philadelphia that made him a hero to so many. It is people like john and the other great officers who have gone before him who have inspired me to become a police officer. god bless kim and the entire pawloski family and please be sure that his son knows of the hero his father was

I, like thousands of other Police Officers from around the country and Canada, had the honor of attending Officer Pawlowski's funeral on a bitterly cold February day in Philadelphia. To be able to pay homage to a courageous "brother" who gave his all for his city was the least that we could do. To see his expecting wife of only a few months suffering his loss, as Commisioner Ramsey put it "to have your future stolen and a baby that will never know his father" really hit home. Philadelphia PD has lost too many officers over the last 2 years and we all have lost another hero. John, RIP Brother as we will continue your watch and I am sure Philly PD will take care of your family. They always do!!
