Reflections for Police Officer Robert J. Stanze, II

Another depressing holiday without you.

November 24, 2005

This will be our 6th Thanksgiving without you....one more than we got to spend together. It's really a depressing thought. Things are kind of crazy right now. Continue to look over your us, your friends, and family. Everyone could really use your strength and guidance right now.

So much time has past, but I still miss you so much...maybe more than that first year even. Life is changing, and the farther I get from where we were, the more I try to hold on to the memories. The thought of forgetting even the most mundane detail of our lives terrifies me.
You helped me become the person I am today, gave me three precious gifts, and a loving family. I wouldn't be me, without you. So this Thanksgiving, like all the others, I am most Thankful to God for the time I had with you. I'm also thankful to you for the guidance you continue to give me.

I Love You and Miss You!!!
(tell Steve and Papa, I love and miss them too!)

Hope you have a good Turkey Day! I will be thinking of you.

November 23, 2005

Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we still talk about you and your Dad getting the smoker ready the night before, keeping my Mom up half the night so she fell asleep on the couch Thanksgiving day and can still see you standing at the kitchen counter picking at the turkey after you had just come from a big thanksgiving dinner. Wish you were here to share the day with us, but each and every year we will thank God for the blessing of having you in our lives, even if it was for much too short a time. We love and miss you so much. Happy Thanksgiving Bobby!!

Bob,
I've been thinking about you, and just wanted to stop by and say I miss you and love you. A visit from you would be nice too.

November 7, 2005

I just wanted to send a messages to your wife and kids to let them know I said a prayer for them this weekend. I was visiting Nick Sloan and my friend Joe this weekend, so I stopped by and said a prayer for your family. Every time I go to visit Nick, I always stop by to pay my respects to you. Thank you for your service and hard work in St. Louis.

Hard to believe you would be 35. I guess you will always stay a kid to me. I miss you more then ever. Have a great birthday. I am sure all of the grandparents, Uncle Butch and Danny will help you celebrate.

Happy Birthday Bob! We all miss you so very, very much!

Look for the balloons!

Happy Birthday...I hope you could hear me and Holly singing to you this morning. I'm missing you a lot lately and wondering what kind of goofy way we would have thought up to celebrate your birthday this year. I don't think Pepper would have stood for wearing a hat this year. She's getting so old...I can't believe our baby puppy is getting near her final years. The kids would have loved wearing hats though. Even though they don't remember you, they do KNOW you. We talk about you every day, and they are excited that it's your special day. I hope it's a good one for you...old man :)
Love always,
Shell

Happy Birthday Bob!! We'll be celebrating for you tonight! as always, we wish you were still here with us--it's not the same without you!

October 28, 2005

Happy Birthday Bobby
We all miss you so much and wish you could be here with all of us. It never feels the same as it once was, it never will. I hope you, Danny and Stu are having an ice cold one up there. You deserve it.

Happy Birthday....Miss you so much!!!

October 27, 2005

Just thinking about your birthday coming up, missing you a lot, remembering all the fun times we had and wondering how things would have been. You're in my heart every second of every day, and in my mind nearly as much. I will be thinking of you and missing you this Friday.
Love you Bunches!!!

October 26, 2005

We gave out our final scholarship today in your honor. The kids at this school were so great. They were really interested in our organization and in you. Doing this has helped so many of us. I see it in your parents when we talk about all these plans. If we could do more to make people remember you we would. We miss you and won't ever stop thinking about you.

October 19, 2005

You would have loved watching the Cardinals this year...and last night, man what a game. Wish you were here!

October 18, 2005

We missed seeing you yesterday but everyone thought of you. We won't let anyone forget about you. We promised you the day of your funeral and we will keep that promise.

October 3, 2005

What I wouldn't give to hear your laugh or even one of your sarcastic comments...

September 20, 2005

Barely a day goes by that I don't check your site just to see your smile. It makes my day, but also reminds me of how much I miss you. Wish you were here to make us laugh and smile again. Love you!

September 13, 2005

Just remembering a special moment, and wanted to tell you how much I miss you.
Love You Always

Bob I just can't seem to move on. I feel such sadness all of the time. I can remember what you look like but at times it feels like you are starting to fade from my memory and that really bothers me. I look at how everyone has dealt with your death and some people seem to be okay and have moved on but I just can't figure out how to do the same thing.

August 11, 2005

It was good to see everyone at your mass yesterday. I can't believe it's been five years. Five years that should have not have any significance whatsoever. God Bless you.
