RIP Brother! I never had the pleasure to meet you but I knew your mother Christine. She was a God-send when my wife and I lost our son Stephen while he was serving our country. I pray peace for you and your family. Please tell your mother hello for Sherri and I.

Another year. I still think it should get easier. It doesn't.
Your mom and Kim are close to one another in distance. I'm not far away.
Yes this Southern gal now lives in the Midwest! Yikes.
Carrie, and David keep a very close eye on your mom. So do I. She is now very active in a group of other loved ones that have lost their kids. Due to criminal activity

I worked with John as a Store Detective back on the early 90's. He was one of my training officers. Immediately, I knew what kind of man he was. A kind man with a huge soul that treated everyone with respect, even the bad guys. He was so happy to be hired by Atlanta P.D. and loved his job. I was honored to represent Brockton Fire Department at his Funeral. I miss him. Justice has been done. May John rest in peace and God hold him close, for John said send me...and he went. God Bless his family, his partner and all Law Enforcement Officers. Know that you are loved.

I remember John when he was a Store Detective. He had a fierce sense of wrong and right. He would be the guy to make sure the victim was safe. I still cry when I remember him. He died in the job that was his passion.

I am a friend of Officer Sowa's partner and a retired deputy sheriff. I remember the night I got an e-mail from my niece who also knew Pat. It was so heart breaking. Lawler never once in the 19 years showed any remorse. Rest in peace brother, while that coward burns in hell.

Rick I remember the night. I was working Grady EMS instead of the Sheriff's office. It was terrifying waiting on the Grady ramp...praying. I still pray...he was executed finally. It still hurts and is a daily reminder that it could be any of us. I miss the fun times after shift. RIP
