Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

JUST TO TELL YOU SON, THAT IT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE YOU LEFT ALL OF US. YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS ALL THE TIME. WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF US ALL THE TIME. YOU ARE OUR POLICE OFFICER "ANGEL". LOVE MOM, JAMIE AND KIM AND FAMILY

To Officer Sowa's family,

I was just watching a show on Discovery Health about John's partner, and, since I was already browsing the ODMP, I decided to look him up. Your postings were very touching, and they describe everything that me and my family have felt. It's obvious John was a wonderful person who was greatly loved. Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of him and all of you tonight from here in St. Louis, MO..
