My Love and thoughts of you will always be in my heart.
From the first day I met you, I knew you were a good Father and would be a wonderful Husband to Diana, and you always were. You were Loved by everyone in our Family, and they will also miss you very much, Sister-in-Laws, Brother-in-Laws, Nephew, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins. The best Family you could have ever had.
You and Diana were both always together and Loved each other with your whole heart. Something not many will ever know or care about. Unfortunately you were hurt and abused by your past, something that you didn't deserve. Fortunately you no longer will have to deal with that.
Finally you met someone that cared and would give you the best life you could have ever had and deserved. This life was taken away from you but you will always be safe in Heaven with a wonderful Father In-Law who I know was proud of you and happy for his daughter.
Diana is strong, kind, Loving and hopefully will find strength without you to go on. I Love you both, and I will always be there for her. I was always there for you when you needed to talk, and I will always be there for her like you would want me to be.
May you rest in peace my wonderful Son-in-Law I Love you and you will always be in my heart. (Rosey)

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.

Deputy Tvelia, my deepest condolences to the Norfolk County Sheriff's Office and all your co-workers there. No doubt the loss is difficult. Your agency does a difficult yet vital job and we all sometimes tend to forget the dedication you show until something tragic happens. Thank you for your efforts on behalf of the citizens of Norfolk County and the Commonwealth as a whole.

My heart and my prayers go out especially to those closest to you, who know and love you most. May they always keep you alive in their hearts and minds and you will never be far from them. I know you will always be there for your kids as they grow up and they will always know you're watching over them.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."
