Just stopped by to let you know I am thinking of you. Your mom and I are connected by the love of a mother for her precious son. Our hearts ache forever for that special hug and smile that only they can give.

Thinking of you Lorraine.

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones on this very blessed of all holidays. There are no special words I can say to ease the pain that all of your loved ones live with on a daily basis except that you will never be forgotten. I know how you Mom feels and I leave the following for her:

"The sense of loss does not diminish with time. In truth, the experession, 'time heals all wounds' is a myth. For parents, the loss of a child is permanent and mental scar tissue really does not grow over the grim memory. Rather, all tears are expended and a dull ache remains."

Thinking of you today. Hard to believe it has been 10 years. I didnt get to know you long on this side of heaven but I trust on the other side we will get to be great friends. Thank you for all you did Don. You really were an amazing man and I am honored that you were part of my family.

Donald was one of the most positive people I have ever known and his life was taken way too soon. I am honored to call him one of my friends.

I can't believe you've been gone for ten years. I still remember the phone call as if it was last night. Don will always be listed as one of my best friends.

Donald, you were always smiling, you and I ate breakfast at Denny's at least twice a week. I have met only a few people who have the good morale character and kindness as you did, you are missed. REDDAWG

When I'm Gone

When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel the last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done.
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun.

Forget that I've stumbered and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fourght some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day.
But in summer just gather some flowers
Aand remember the place where I lay,

And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west.
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.

Almost 10 years. Too long.
Love Mom

Well Donald, it will be 10 years since you left us. The pain is the same. You used to make me laugh so hard at times that I would actually cry.

Today we remember Officer Julie Jacks. Rest easy Sir!

We have lost another Chattanooga officer.
The memories coming flooding back again.
Remembering Julie and Don and now Tim.
Lord help us to endure, keep us strong, be with Tim's family, friends and co-workers.
