Estimado Andrés,
I wrote on September 14 and my letter was not reluctant but
my tears helped my mistakes, mispellings even missing words. Apologies!

I want to tell you about our biggest hero, General Don José de San Martín. There was a rough battle where his horse
was hurt to death. The enemy got closer to kill San Martín.
A teenager, supporting and saying -Yes,you can...yes you can
held this Libertor of three South American countries and received the bullet. The boy died and he is still in our ears with his drum and wonderful smile motivating everybody.

I am here today because next October 14 is Mother´s Day in Argentina. Later on, October 26 I will be 56.
I wonder, who do I have to ask for a permission to be there in person? Your wife and child? Authorities? I need to pray with you, for the Peace´s sake! The Rain Forest is in extreme danger, as well.

Thanks for reading my wishes. If I am not allow to visit you, do not worry. You have millions and millions of admirers besides me.

I leave you for now. Do not forget me, please.

Dear Andrecito,

Hi! How do you do? On Friday 14, September I went to Llano
to get my finger prints sent by FBI. Kind people (a Deputy telling me he was your friend and another male person. Sorry I do not if he was the Sheriff, shame on me)took care of me with efficience and very good manners, Even the females in the lobby, indeed. I was told by a new Lawyer to go to such a prison.
FBI did not do what they said on August 24, 2007. There, one lady said I had to wait at least for three hours.
My husband and I felt so perplex and sad when we saw you. We wondered...why? God please, give us an explanation. A healthy handsome young person...he represents the baby boy I
could never have...only three daughters. The oldest is 33 y/o and lives in Argentina close their dad who gave me 3 grandgirls. My two other girls live in the Basque country. I offer my condolences to your big family , Seniors and your wife and Hunter. We understand you took an important of many hearts. I never heard about you but...you cannot control your feelings when Humanity looses a HERO like you..
You on our Lord's right side...please pray for us.
We honour your family and yourself.
See you in Heaven,
Glad and James
P/S: Our message might be removed but not what we feel as
parents. Bye, now. Stevpatrick.

Andy,

Its hard to believe you are not with us any more. I cry every time I drive down Skyline. You were a great friend and Deputy. Kingsland will never be the same without you there.

It still seems like you were here just yesterday. I am proud to have known you, and those I have met since your passing feel they know you too. We will keep you alive in memory so that none will miss out on a great officer, a great friend.

I can't believe it has been two years since you died. Your passing has left a huge hole in my heart and my soul. In life you treated me more like a brother than a friend; always looking out for me. Thank you for that. Rest in peace my friend.

My thoughts are with your loved ones on this 2nd anniversary of your being called away from duty. I know heavy feeling all of your loved ones feel within their hearts as they love you dearly. Continue to watch over them and protect them from harm. Wrap your wings around them and help them with their grief. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

Hey Andy,
Here another year has gone by, yet it seems like yesterday. They say you can always remember exactly what you were doing when something traumatic happens in your life. It must be true because I can remember exactly what I did on May 8, 2005. Amber and I watched a tremendous thunderstorm blow through, we even took pictures. She told me about how April was struck by lightning and I was amazed. I chatted with her awhile when she was bathing Bart in the driveway and Ryan & Hunter were running around the neighborhood on their bikes. We went in for the evening and then both heard a prowler. I called and told Kay and Amber called and told you. Ten minutes after that the whole world came crashing down. We know you are in a better place, but we still miss you. Please watch over Amber and Hunter and help them through these next few days...and Bart-Man too.
We love & Miss ya!!!

Andy,

I read this today and thought of you, like I do most days. I miss you very much, you are the Big Brother I never had.

THE SHOTS RANG OUT,WHAT A TERRIFYING SOUND.
IT ECHOS OVER THE RADIO,AN OFFICER IS DOWN.

IT WAS A ROUTINE CALL,HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT,THE ULTIMATE PRICE WAS PAID.

SHOOTER BARELY SEVENTEEN,ON DRUGS AND WIRED.
NOW YOU LAY THERE WITH GUN IN HAND,BUT YOU NEVER FIRED.

WHATEVER HAPPENED THAT NIGHT,THAT THIS CHILD COULD HAVE WON.
MAYBE YOU LOOKED INTO HIS EYES,AND SEEN YOUR OWN SON.

NOW THE FLAG IS AT HALF MAST,AND I'M STANDING AT YOUR WIFE'S DOOR.
AS I EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED,YOUR SON JUST STARES AT THE FLOOR.

NOW THEY HAVE YOU IN DRESS BLUES,AND WE CARRY YOU TO AN OPEN GRAVE,EVEN THE BIGGEST AND TOUGHEST COP,HAS A TEAR RUNNING DOWN HIS FACE.

AND THE TWENTY-ONE GUN SALUTE ECHOS IN THE AIR.
I REMEMBER OUR PROMISE,AND FOR YOUR FAMILY, I'LL BE THERE.

AS THEY LOWER THE CASKET,THIS MUCH I VOW TO BE TRUE,
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, MY BROTHER,MY BROTHER IN BLUE.

I love you!!!!

Well, my son tommorrow we go to court for the sentencing of the people that helped the monster that took you away from me, your brother and the rest of the family. Son I had to write a victims statement and there is so much that I want to say just don't know how. So much that you and I will never get to do, to say, nothing will ever be able to change that. My child my heart seems to break more everyday second that passes. Everytime I think of your silly smile, your warm loving arms, and wonderful laugh. Things have changed in the last year and a half that you have been gone but, one thing will never change that is my undying love for you my baby. I know that you will be with me tommorrow helping and supporting me, I thank God for that all the time. You and your brother have always been my hero's and always will be. I love you Andy.
