Officer Down Memorial Page

Your Mom recently left a reflection at my son Michael's page, I thank her for that. I know how much it means for others to remember our fallen officers and to never let them be forgotten. I am sure there were people that came to your parents and said they would always there for them but as time goes on they slowly drift away and continue on with their lives. The lives of those that loved you dearly seemed to have stopped and time is measured by two segments, 1)Before you were Killed and 2)After you were killed. Holidays come and you are the talk of the day, but in the past and thats good because it is a way to keep your memory alive. You will always be remembered as you are a true hero and heroes never die. Continue to wrap your wings around all of your loved ones and keep them safe. I have left the following concerning a bereaved mother at other pages for Moms' and I would like to leave it for your Mom for I know her feelings and the aching heart she lives with every day.

"Do not judge the bereaved mother...She comes in many forms...She is breathing, but she is dying...She may look young, but inside she has become ancient...She smiles, but her heart sobs...She walks, she talks, she cooks, she cleans, she works she IS but she IS NOT, all at once...She is here, but part of her is elsewhere for eternity."
