Greg,

My youngest son and I went to Pell City PD yesterday and met Corporal Watson. What an awesome inspiration you were and still are to your community and the officers you worked with.

It is my privilege to ride in the Police Unity Tour in your honor this year.

May God continue to bless and comfort your family, the community you served and your fellow officers of Pell City.

All my prayers

Greg,

It was about a year ago I remember you sitting in the TASER recertification class at PCPD. It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since you began watching over us from Heaven.

I still keep your wife, your daughters, and your fellow officers in my prayers.

I am still at a loss for words.

God bless you and all who mourn you. May God give them the strength to carry on. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To his little girls: I know that you aren't old enough to read this now, but I want you to know that your daddy was and is a hero. He will never be forgotten, and he loves you now and always.

THIS IS OF YOU~MY 828 IN BLUE

Forever & always will be my love for you
My hero, my best friend, my man in blue.
So young & so handsome it was hard to bare
As he strapped on his vest & other police wear.

His days always began with a "10-41",
The same routine for six years he had done.
Day in and Day out he gave it his best
Never knowing if it would be the last to wear his vest.

Always so strong and courageous patrolling the streets-
and ready to help on someone else's beat.
This was not a job, it was a dream
Just to be a part of a good police force team.

To stand guard, serve and protect-
Out of honor, duty, justice and respect.
A great husband, father, cop and friend,
I do not know why it all had to end.

Why did he have to leave us so soon?
I had just talked to him that afternoon.
We were laughing and carrying on had I only known
How the afternoon would end all wrong.

I got the call and I was on my way,
I’ll never forget seeing him that day.
It ripped my heart to see him like that
I just did not want to face the fact.

Watching "4846" land so that he could be flown-
I was praying upon UAB arrival that he would not be gone.
On my way to him from the scene
I prayed the whole way that it was just a dream.

Sitting in "hell" for 16 days
I would have never left him-there was no way.
But now I am left with just his memory
For he has made it home safe and pain free.

I always knew it could happen one day
That if the Lord should decide for his job, he must pay.
But to pay with his life-is that really fair?
I wish the jerk knew, the depth of my despair.

And of my GIRLS, family and friends.
Does he not know that our pain never ends?
I sit and I wonder if for his stupidness-he really cares
That the father of my girls can not be there.

He was laid to rest with Honors
In ways that we shall never forget
With many standing amazed
Showing the utmost love and respect.

He had lived such a wonderful life, yet
much more for him to do-
But on July 4th, my wonderful "828"
gained his wings and made his Final "10-42."

Everyday I get up to another dawn
trying to find the answer of why it went wrong.
My thoughts and love for him will always remain-
but as of that day my life will never be the same.

May God lay his healing hand upon the family and friends of Officer Surles and may they know he will never be forgotten. Thank you Officer Surles for your dedicated service to the people of Alabama and the United States.

To the family and friends of Officer Greg Surles and the members of the Pell City Police Department, and most especially to Greg:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Officer Surles was tragically killed.

To Greg's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Greg gave to his community and the citizens of Alabama, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on July 4, 2008

To those who loved Officer Surles, my heart goes to you all. Know that you're not alone in this journey you walk. I lost my fiance in the line of duty January 2003 and my world was forever changed. It's been a long hard road, and even as time as gone forward, and I've found many reasons and ways to smile, I still have not forgotten the man that he was. Dennis was a beautiful person and he forever has a part of my heart, just as I'm sure Greg will always be a part of yours.

It takes a special person to put their lives on the line everyday to make this world a little safer for us all. I know many of these men never would've thought of themselves as "heroes" but they were in so many ways. It's sad that it they had to lose their lives for some of us to see that. Having said that, thank you Officer Surles for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. I know this isn't a very manly thing to do, but if you happen to run into Dennis up there, please give him a big hug for the kids and I. Dennis was a good man and we miss him more than words can say.

Wishing those who loved you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne
