Michelle,
Not one day goes by that we don't think about you. I celebrated the beautiful environment we love so much by participating in a fundraising cycling ride called "People For Trees" in North Port, Florida on this the third year anniversary.
Miss you, love you, and thinking of you always...

To the Lawless family may you know that we have not forgotten your HERO... I know the pain in your hearts is as strong today as it was that dreaded day in 2007. God bless you.

Hey Michelle,
I have moved on from FWC. You were my "inside" friend from the very start. Thanks so much. I am so sorry you were hurt, I still cry when I think of you out there without help. Thank you my sister for your work.

Michelle,
Just thinking about you today. I know your family still misses you like crazy just as I still miss my husband. I just think there is a bond between you and my husband because God took you both home in the same way. God bless you sweet Michelle. As this weekend rolls around and they have the National Police Officers Memorial, that is where I met your partner last year. I know she thinks of you every day but just know our family is thinking of you too.

Officer Lawless, thank you for your courage and dedication to service. I am a former Duty Officer with FWC (1997-2000) and I know that yours miss you terribly.

For Debbie, my partner is a police officer as well, I can only imagine what you are feeling. I pray everytime she leaves for work that she will be safe. May God be with you and memories give you comfort and peace.

It's been years since I have been in the holeylands. I saw the memorial for Officer Lawless. I stopped for a moment and said a prayer. I did not know her, but felt her presence. My sympathy to her family and fellow officers.

Debbie,
May God bless you as you go through each day without Michelle. I like to think that she and my husband are in heaven trading stories. Thank you for your thoughts you posted. It was nice connecting with you in Washington. We do have much in common in that we lost the ones who had that very most special place in our hearts. I know that in the past year there has been a lot of healing to get me as far as I have come. I hope that when October rolls around you might feel that some of your hurt has healed since that day you lost Michelle. Our lives will never be the same but know you have a friend in California that cares for you and Michelle's family.
God Bless you all,

Michelle,
You had read about the disappearance of the honey bees and wanted to help. The bee hive you assembled is now full of BEES! I watch them come and go each morning wondering which one is you?

Happy Birthday. We all MISS YOU SO MUCH!

Michelle, a special daughter and best friend to me. We love and miss you so. You touched so many lives and cared so deeply about everything you did. You made everyone feel so special when they were with you.... when in fact it was you that was so special. You brought so much joy and happiness into our lives and you will always be with us.

I thank all who are helping us through this difficult time and all who have shared prayers and condonlences.
