We dedicate each week of our training to a different fallen officer. When we were tired and wanted to give up, we remembered you and your service and we pushed through. Recruit Rest in peace brother. You will be missed but never forgotten... Sergeant Chris DiToro Missing you today. I can't believe it's been over 2 years already. You were a hero to us all. All you wanted to do was help people. The world is a little less brighter because of your lose. Rest in Peace. James Walker I hope today your light shines down on your family. Your boys are truly beautiful, and your wife is strong. RIP Sean Clark SWG To Officer Sean Clark, his family and his fellow officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department: Wives Behind The Badge, Inc You are not forgotten. God be with your family! Anonymous Thinking of your loved ones today and everyday. I know the daily struggles they face without you and the terrible pain within their hearts. God, wrap your loving arms around them and help them with their grief and let them feel your presence. Brenda Lucas Your heroism and service is honored today, the second anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service to home state and the birthplace of my son. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. Phyllis Loya I'm sorry for the loss of Officer Clark. My heart goes out to family, friends and fellow officers. May it bring you some comfort to know we are sadden by this loss also. God bless you for serving. Stay safe. Chris Today is March 31st and tomorrow will be two yrs since hearing the sad news of these two heroic officers and their story. I never met these two officers that gave their all. My best friend is a CMPD officer and it just hits close to home. My thoughts and prayers are with the officers family and friends and for all the officers still out there serving and putting their lives on the line for strangers. Instead of looking at the mistakes that officers make(just because they wear a badge doesnt mean they arent still human) lets look at the great they do. Lets remember how they put their lives on the line everyday when they get in that uniform. These two men are forever in my thoughts and prayers. They are angels looking down from heaven and help keep the officers safe from heaven guys. Gina Brother, Officer E.A. Quevedo After two years, the reality of Sean's death is still hard to believe. Hard to accept that it was "our" Sean. The grief has subsided, but the memories are still strong. We miss you, Sean! See you one day in Glory! Reenie Davis Keeping your family and loved ones close to my heart today. I honor you... never forgotten. Anonymous It has taken me a long time to be able to read these reflections and actually leave one myself. Sean thank you for always being a constant friend and having words of encouragement even if it had been years between visits. I was so happy for you when you graduated the academy because everyone knew for so long that is what you truly wanted to be. And you were a great officer. I still remember sitting beside you in the 4th grade and making fun of the teacher. You were so funny. I remember you running so fast when we would get to go outside to play. I always hope we'd be on the same dodge ball team because you were so quick. You inspired me even then. Later before we graduated I had the pleasure of knowing Kim and playing volleyball with her. I used to tell her all the time how much you two looked alike. Two peas in a pod. Suzy Aldridge Remembering you today and hoping your family is staying strong. May God continue to bless your wife and kids in a special way. Captain CMPD God bless your family and those closest to you. You are not forgotten.
We just returned from DC today to honor you and see your name at the memorial wall. I can't help but just wish so badly you were here tonight and wake up from this horrible nightmare that I now know as my life. I miss you every second of the day. Your sons miss you more....Brayden is growing up so fast. You would be so proud of him. He's playing t-ball and following in his daddy's footsteps. Always asking "did daddy do this mommy?" Westin says "da-da" and it breaks my heart knowing he won't ever meet you until we are on the other side. We miss you. And I love you. I just wanted to let you know that I am so proud of who you were and I will never let your sons forget how wonderful of a man their dad was. I love you babe...until we meet again. Sherry Clark To Officer Clark's family, friends, and co-workers. Police Officer Jeff Thul Thursday May 8, 2008 2140hrs. Tomorrow morning I will drive from Charlotte, NC to Rocky Mount, NC for the State Police Memorial. Next week I will be in Washington DC where Sean, Jeff, and other Officers will be honored and recognized in the National Memorial Service. I’m not sure why, but I got on the computer here in my kitchen and pulled up the Officer Down Page. I am moved to tears to see all the other Officers who have laid their lives on the line and died since Sean and Jeff were shot March 31st 2007. Many of them leave behind a wife and several children. I then ask why, . . . why have I been granted time with my son and daughters to do family devotion just before I tuck them in bed tonight? Why did Sean and Jeff die over a year ago. It is tempting to ask why, but I think this is the wrong question to ask. As hard as it is to ask, we need to ask, “God, what would you have me do now? How should I live my life differently so as not to waste a single moment?” I don’t think I have made an entry into Sean’s memorial page partially because the words just don’t seem enough or right. I do know I miss my friend and when I see pictures of his oldest son playing T-Ball I break down if I’m by myself. The sadness overwhelms me. I then think of all the families out there I know nothing about going through the same loss as Sherry and Jennifer. I pray God grants me another day to police well and be who we are called to be. Sean you were so much fun to be with. I wish I could have worked with you in a Police capacity. Officer “Never Forgotten” Ptl. Edward Noonan YOU ARE REMEMBERED TODAY AND THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE Pat Van Den Berghe Wow!! One year later. Thanks for the sacrifice, Sean. Detective Miss you brother, you are not forgotten Officer Tom Allen
