Reflections for Police Officer Christopher Anthony Matlosz

Chris, you may not be physically on this Earth with us anymore, but we know you are here. I am hoping with today's verdict, that we can find Justice is served, and that you may Rest in Peace. Please continue to watch over Kelly, and Adam, and the rest of the family. She is absolutely the strongest woman I know, and has continued to prove to the world how strong she is, and that she continues to love you.

Rest Well Brother, Lakewood Police Department #317....EOW 1-14-2011....Justice Served, 2-16-2012. Chris Matlosz...forever in our hearts.

Amen he will never take a life again. My cousin Glendale, AZ Police Officer Bradley Jones what shot 9 times and killed by a beast on Oct 29th 2011. This beast is still alive and free in a care home. He is at liberty to be moved freely. He killed robbed my cousin taking his wallet and wedding ring and then the beast stole his patrol car. He is not in any type of custody. His family could remove him from this facility and take him out of the country at any second. It doesn't seem fair our tax dollars are keeping him alive fed safe and comfortable my cousing is gone leaving behind 2 small children a wife of 6 years and his parents and 3 brothers and one sister. God bless this family and may your pain be somewhat lifted knowing he will never walk free again.

I was cleaning the memorial on one of our breaks at the police academy and saw your name there with a few other officers that lost their life in the line of duty. I did not know you but I see your picture on the wall every day as we go to class and it is a reminder to me of how life can be taken away from you in an instant. From what I hear you where a great guy and a great police officer, thank you for your service and may you rest in peace.

Chris,
Been thinking of you! Not a day goes by that I haven’t thought of you. Trial is going on and hopefully justice will be served! At least once a week someone brings up a funny Chris story. We had a lot of laughs and still laugh at the pranks you and I did. Still got the one picture in my locker you made me. Before every shift I think of you and know you are still my partner and with me, keep us all safe and watch over our little ones. Still does not feel like a year seems like yesterday you were here laughing with us. Miss you buddy!

I thought of you today
but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too,
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name...
Gone but never forgotten. You are still touching so many lives from up above. Continue to watch over Kelly and Adam.

Just let your vigil, was very touching. There is no doubt you were with this, as the vigil began the winds of the day came to rest almost instantly. What made me aware of this was the flag draped from the fire trucks was flapping all around from the wind and then the vigil starts the flag just laid there. Almost as if you had brought a calm as you watched over us from heaven letting us know you are ok. God bless you Chris and your family.

To the family and friends of Police Officer Christopher Matlosz, his fellow officers, and most especially to Christopher:

We honor your service to your community as a police officer and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Christopher was killed in the line of duty. It is obvious he was well-loved by many and well-respected by his peers and officers as reflected in the loving reflections left for him.

May his loved ones continued to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To Christopher's family, you are in my heart's embrace today. With the anniversary day and your first Christmas without your beloved, I know this is a very difficult time. I share with your parents the anquish of losing a cherished child which surely has to be life's greatest sorrow.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Christopher gave to his community and the citizens of New Jersey, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on January 14, 2011

Think of you often...pray for you always. Even though I never had the pleasure of knowing you, your tragic passing has touched me so. Kelly is an inspiration to all. Continue to rest easy...

I still cannot put my many thoughts into words... Kelly - Please know that there are people who never knew you, or Chris, that think of you. It's comforting to know that some people that are your true friends, who were also at one time a big part of my life, are watching over you. That alone brings me comfort. Head up high, and a smile on your face. You bring inspiration to many.

THINKING OF YOU BUDDY! MISS YA

CORPORAL MICHAEL MACINNES

Kelly, I saw this today and I thought of you. You are not alone!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
