Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dad,

On this 75th anniversary of your murder, your family still misses you. Four grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and a great grandson that never had the opportunity to meet you and being only two years old at the time, I have no memory of you. We know that some day we will meet you when we move on to our next life.

No greater love hath no man than to lay down their life for another.

Michael, Donna and your family

Officer Mathews,
On today, the 75th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dad,
When I awoke this morning my first thought was of you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Your family also remembers the sacrifice that you made. You are always with us. I will light a candle for you at our chapel today.

Dad,
You are greatly missed every day but I feel your hand on my shoulder as I navigate life. Your family remembers you and the sacrifice you made for others. I came across a Raymond Chandler quote and thought it fitting to add it to our reflection this year.
Our love and prayers,
Michael, Donna and Family

"Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid... He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world."

I found information on your Dad in my grandmothers papers. My Uncle, her brother, Herb Mooney, worked with your dad. She told me that Herb found your dad after he had been shot.
I just want you to know that there are people out there who still honor your Dad.
I have followed in my uncles foot steps and joined the police force here in GA.
I will keep you in my prayers.
