Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hello Dad. I hope and pray that you and Uncle Charles are in heaven fishing and talking. Me and the kids went to Uncle Charles burial ceremony, it was lovely. Beverly was there. She came over to me and hugged me told me she was proud of me and she loved me. Asked me to call her sometime. Said we all make mistakes and need to forgive. I am going to call her. Just been busy. The kids on te other hand are not so forgiving. I think it comes with age. I wanted to say I love you and miss you something awful.

Dear dad just wanted you to know that we love you so much. I have had covid and have been very sick since September. I am just now coming off of oxygen. I am hoping to get back to work in March. I read your ex wife reflection to you. She said she still had your ashes, I thought that was funny because she told us and other people she already spread them over big bend national park. I remember you telling me about all her lies when you found out about the other men. Enough about that. Just wanted you also to know that your granddaughter Destiny is getting ready for her 18th birthday in May. Also she graduates from high school this year. In August she leaves for college

Dear Cuz, Val showed me this site. What a wonderful place to leave my thoughts. You ARE greatly missed. I will always remember how we talked. You made me feel special. Thank you for exposing me to Big Bend! What an experience!! I'm glad to see that your daughter is doing well. I thought about her often and prayed she was doing well.

Dear dad,
Sorry haven't wrote to you in a while but, as you always said sometimes life gets in the way. I am so glad that you said you couldn't stand liars and cheaters and got your ex wife out of your life and was able to keep your dream of staying in Big Bend National Park. I know that place held a very special place in your heart. I miss you so much. Destiny which is 17 and is your granddaughter is a senior this year,she is an honor roll student. She will be going away to college in the fall. I will miss her so much. I would tell you what college but. Since your ex still seems to troll on here to get information I will send that to you on a wing of a angel on prayer. David is 16 and also an honor roll student. They both have part time jobs because they wanted one to earn their own money and not ask us for it all of the time. They are wonderful young people. They would make you proud. Sherman is doing great, he is an incredible husband and Dad. You guys would have been the best of friends. I think of you everyday,and I miss you. You were the best dad a girl could ever ask for. I love you. Love your daughter Bridgette Honaker.

Well dad here it is 2021. Life is so much different than when you were here on earth. The pandemic is still going on. Politics are awful. People want to defund our law enforcement agencies. The government has way to much control. I miss you so much. Our family is doing fine. Destiny is really a wonderful girl. After everything she has been through in her pass, she is an honor student, takes college classes while in high school. She works, has a boyfriend and is so smart and beautiful. David is tall like you, and is so handsome. He is a straight a student, he runs cross country and is also in track. He has a girlfriend.

Hello dad. Things have really been hectic around this place with the pandemic going on. Just wanted you to know a few things that are weighing heavy on my heart. First of all about Taylor, that is my oldest daughter and your granddaughter. She has nothing to do with me and does not allow us to be around Landon that is our grandson, as she had told me in the past due to it upsets Beverly which is your ex-wife. Secondly you have 2 grandchildren David and Destiny whom are wonderful, smart kids that make the newspaper all of the time because they are straight A students. These children have nothing to do with Beverly your ex wife due to court orders. Of course I don't have to air out the details on it in public because I know for a fact you watch over them now just as you did when that mess happened. They do go and visit Aunt Imogene and Uncle Charles whom we all love so much. We know that through Christ that today is not promised and we try our best to live our life through him so that someday we can be with you. Love, your daughter, Bridgette.

Dad sorry haven't written in a while. Destiny is 15, she is your granddaughter, she is in FFA and leadership programs in school, she is a straight A student. David that is your grandson, he is 14,he runs 5k in cross country,does track and field also,is in Robotics, he is also a straight A student. So as you see they keep us moving and busy. Landon is your great grandson but your granddaughter Taylor does not allow us too see him. She said that your ex wife Beverly Hollingsworth,would not like it and would not help her out if we were in Landon's life. He is so cute. I wish you were here on earth too see them all.
