Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Tina, thank you. My admiration for your badges is with me. Law enforcement is with me every day for the legal conduct of my character. I hope to have coffee with none other than your badges and welcome.

Tina, you were a beautiful woman in a tough little package. You could put on the charm when you needed to and turn on the pain when you needed to take down a criminal. We had a good scuffle with Leonel Gonzalez at the Best Nights Inn just one hour before your murder. You got punched in the face by him and you just laughed it off. I got bit in the calf which is what ultimately caused me to be picked to stay at the hospital with the suspect and not go to coffee. I will always be sorry I couldn't be there for you. I live with that every day. I will never know if I would have been victim five or could have stopped the entire thing. Only time will heal. I lost a lot of friends afterwards because of my mindset but you will always be in my heart. God bless you little warrior.

Tina, I will continue to live out the rest of my years fulfilling your legacy of caring about others as you did in your life, just as your daddy and I taught you to. See you in heaven honey. They couldn't take you away from our hearts and hatred did not win. We love you always, mama and daddy Nov. 29, 2011 6:49 p.m.

You all were great police officers. It's very sad that a man can just take a like without provocation. You will never be forgotten thanks to sites like this and thanks to the Pierce County Sheriffs Department. We will not allow you to be forgotten.

It seems like a lifetime ago, and yet it seems like it was yesterday. Knowing what you know now, I do not believe that you would change your choice to work that day, and would gladly give up your life again for that of another. Save a spot for me, sis. We shall meet again. Until that day comes, know that you are missed greatly. Gone but never forgotten.

Never forgotten. Your years of service are much appreciated, I have the hardest time thinking of your children and thought I dont know you would have traded shoes with shoe in a second on that day, but the Lord has his reasons and needed you. God Bless you and your family, "They are true heroes not because of how they died, but how they lived." Godspeed

Tommorrow it has ben a year since the monster murdered you, and I think of you often, and pray for your husband and children, that someday, in some way, they may find peace. You were a very remarkable woman, one that other women can look up to, especially us women in law enforcement. When your husband was interviewed on television last night, my heart broke for him and the pain he is feeling. May God bless your soul!!

Tina,

I knew you for about a year or two before you were taken from us and in that time I had gotten to know you pretty well. I learned that even you being so small you were so full of fight, nothing anyone said or did could put u down. Everyday I saw you I would think to myself theirs Tina always so happy and full of life. I responded to the scene that fateful day and I didn’t learn until later that night that it was u that had fallen and when I herd your name I dropped to my knees and cried. I never thought that anything could take you away I still showed up the next morning and did my job to the best of my abilities knowing that anything I could do could have brought your killer closer to justice. So even if you’re not amongst us on this earth I know god must feel safer knowing he has an officer like you walking the beat of Heavens Street.

Missing You So Much,

God bless you Officer Tina Griswold, even though i am now reired after 36 years on the job, i still grieve everytime i hear of another LEO paying the ultimte scrifice. I can remember when femle oficers were not easily accepted into the profession(1967). I learned as does everyone, that you are everybit as competent, (sometimes even more so) as male officers. My wife, a veteran of 28 years in law enforcement proved it more than once. You and your brother officers will always be remembered, God has reserved special place for you and all the other Law Enforcement heroes that have served so well.
