Hard to believe last month was 27 years. One of my best childhood friends from 2nd grade at Meadowbrook Elementary School, in Bowie, MD. You summed it up best in your Senior yearbook caption with, "Kip and I always in trouble" OH the fun we had! Wish you were here!! Love ya Scot!! "KIP"

26 years feels like a lifetime to many, but losing you feels like it was yesterday. Another year, another gut punch. I love and miss you my friend. #thethinblueline

Thank you for teaching me what a true Police Officer was supposed to be. Although our time was brief together it is an experience I will never forget. Thank you!

Well, I'm getting ready to retire at the end of this month. I will always be thinking of you and the laughs we had along the way. It was a joy to have known you and I wish we both could have made it to retirement together. Rest in Peace my brother.

I still remember this day, and the three days leading up to it, like it was yesterday. It is hard to believe that 20 years have passed. I often wonder what your life would be like now. I know for sure you would love your niece! We will be gathering at your graveside tomorrow for a memorial. We will always miss you and we will never forget you.

The Dash

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of birth
and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
that they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
to consider what’s true and real
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
and more often wear a smile,
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read,
with your life’s actions to rehash…
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent YOUR dash?

God rest your Soul, brother. You gave ALL and did your best, but the citizens you swore to protect let you down. Your partner did for you, but it would be nice had the scumbag missed in the first place. Respects and Condolences to your grieving Family, and Rest In Peace, brother. We got it, from here.
