We are sorry for your Loss. My family has also experienced the loss of a loved one in the line of Duty. This was sent to us, We found this helpful. Hope this helps your family as well.


My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The 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 so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.

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

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.

Danny Boy,

Tears still come to my eyes when I think of you being gone. I often wonder if you knew you were leaving, and pray that you didnt feel any pain. You will always and forever be special to me, I have so many memories and whenever I think of you, I have so many to choose from. Just know that you are surely missed and that you will never be forgotten......

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Danny Boy,
I remember the last time we worked together, you had to work third shift. Even in the middle of the night when you were wore out and tired, you still walked in with that smile on your face! We all miss that smile.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones everyday. I hope that they can give their pain to God and find peace in their hearts until they can see your smile again.
You will never be forgotten.

Danny Boy,

Although it has been awhile, it still feels as if it were yesterday. I always see your smile in my dreams, I will always remember you. You will always be in my thoughts, I pray that your soul is at rest, and that you know that you hold a special place in my heart. I really do miss you, until I see that smile, again......

Danny Boy, I often think of you and all the laughs we shared. I miss you so much and wish that you were still here. I miss being able to talk to you about so many things. You truly meant a lot to me, and I will forever hold a special place in my heart for you. You told me once that you will always care for me because I have been nothing but nice to you, I can still see the look on your face when you said those words to me....I just want you to know that I havent forgotten you, and there isnt a day that passes that you dont cross my mind. I miss you like crazy and will never forget you. I am glad that you knew how much I cared, and that you made sure I knew just how much you cared.....You are truly missed.....

I often think of the first time I met you. You sat directly in front of me and flashed the biggest smile I have ever seen, needless to say, I was hooked. We shared many great memories, and although in the end we chose to remain friends, I want you to know that I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. I will never forget you, Danny Boy, and one of these days, I will get to see that awesome smile again...until then, I know that you are watching over your loved ones, and we can all rest a little easier knowing that you are now a "GUARDIAN ANGEL"
