It's now 26 years since you've been gone and life without you is not the same.So much has happened and I need you more than ever. You were suppose to be here with me on my life's journey. As the years go by I miss you more and more. Physically I'm fine but my heart aches for you every day I still don't understand why you were taken away from me. I love you, I miss you always

Wow can't believe it has been so long Joe ( 25 years ) still feels like yesterday. I miss you so much. I often wonder what our lives would be like if you were here. The pain in my heart is still there it never seems to go away. I seem OK and try to get on with life but my life is not the same. I'm different. On the inside my pain is till there and so very real. You would be proud of my accomplishments. I am working on my PHD....I know you would be bragging about me if you were here. I'm holding on the best way I know how as you would want me too. My life was forever changed on this day 25 years ago. I love you and will always till I die. So long my love. I know I will see you again one day. Your wife.....

Another year is approaching that we relive the day, that a phone call came out of nowhere to say you have been taken away. Some say the years get easier as they past a long the way but we still cry and ask why but we know you're in a better place. Since 1989 when you were called home, you are now joined by many soldiers so you are not a lone. You have your sisters Sylvia and Anita, your brother Herman and your Father Herman Sr. too and on February 14, 2009 our beautiful Mom joined all of you! Rest in Peace my brother, my hero, my friend.

Another year Joe and it still feels like yesterday. I still miss and love you so so much. You are never far from my thoughts nor my heart. I am reliving that horrible day you left me and it hurts so bad baby, but I'm gonna stay strong because thats what you would want me to do. I still don't understand why God took you from me, you were the best I ever had. I will always love you and will always be your wife. No one can ever replace you. I love you baby. I miss you, my heart aches for you. Till we meet again.

Baby, its now been 21 years since you left me and there has not been a day that I don't think of you. You are the love of my life and I will never forget you. No one knows how deep our love for each other ran. I have tried to move on with my life but it is still hard. I still cry for you in my private moments. People look at me and think that I have healed but I have not. I will always love and miss you. Today is a sad day for me. I still remember the moment like it was yesterday. I will sit in silence today and remember the great times we had, the love we made and your crazy antics. I am not the same since you left and I will never be the same. I will love you till the day I die and my heart will always ache for you. I put my trust in God that he will allow us to meet again and spent an eternity together because you are the Love of my life. I love you and will forever be Mrs. Evelyn Davis. P.S Julian is doing fine and misses you also.

Officer Davis,

Thank you for your valiant service sir. You are a true warrior and hero. May God bless you and your family forever.

Well my brother, it's another year without you, we miss your laughter. your jokes and your saying "sure is the nose on my face and sun going to shine I'm doing this". And now you are in heaven doing it for the Good lord.

Standing firm as a strong warrior of the Lord, rest on Joe, one day we will meet again to glorfiy Jesus Christ together and to praise the Lord in his Holy Temple.
The bible states that the saints don't die they just sleep away.

Again! Rest my brother in the arms of God.

Much Love your sister "Ruthie" and Willie Hunt

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

It has been almost twenty years since we last talked to each other. I continue to have one way conversations with you even still. There is not a day that passes by that I do not think of you, the reassuring gestures, the confidence in your voice, the laughter that breaks tension and the can do attitude you have always displayed. Any unexpected death is difficult, but yours was the grand daddy of them all. Just like any hero, you were not suppose to die. You are suppose to live forever. To reassure your brothers, sisters that everything was going to be okay. You are suppose to be hear to love your mother and take care of your father. Your death has shown that even heroes die but not forgotten. I continue to envy the son you became, the brother you were and in my eyes the hero I hold as a role model for all to emulate. I miss you. Today is Ruthie and my birthday, and if we had one wish, it would to be to turn back the hands of time and be there in your time of need. To change destiny. Or even, to trade places so that you may live to make this world a better place. I hope that when you look down on me from heaven (I am sure you are there)I pray that I make you proud and worthy of being called your brother. If I haven't told you enough, I will tell you now, I love you and you are still my hero

You will always be a hero in my eyes. There is nothing more courageous than one who lays down his life for another.
You are sadly missed, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I was so young when your life was taken and now that I have risen above the age of 35 I realize that you were so young when your life was taken.
Rest in peace my brother for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Love your sister,
