Missing G-530 today and everyday. A friend went to DC and brought back Calvin's name from the memorial, gave to me on his birthday. Seventeen years later we both stood and cried, just like it was yesterday. Miss you little brother.

Even after 16 years, a song on the radio brings tears to my eyes as I think of you. Even though things were all screwed up with us at the end of your life, my heart was broken & hopes were destroyed that day. Can't wait to see you again one day. Please watch over Alex as he is now a deputy.

Trooper Taylor,
I did not have the privilege of meeting you but I have met some very special people that knew and loved you and for that I am thankful.. The words they spoke about you is a proof that you were not only a an outstanding law enforcement officer but a true HERO. Please continue to watch over us. You will never be forgotten.

Today started out like my mood... gloomy, but the sky eventually cleared into a beautiful day just like 16 years ago was. I'll never forget how my heart broke that day. I'll never forget you & all that we shared, especially your words to me the night before.

It's been 16 yrs today since that tragic day in 2001 when I received the call about Calvin
Before the call it had been a beautiful fall day. All those that knew Calvin had their lives changed forever on that day. Calvin was the example of who a law enforcement officer should be. He also cared about his fellow man. He will never be forgotten and his memory lives on in our minds and hearts. G- 530 answered the final call. G-530 is 10 42.

Working night shift trying to stay busy trying not to think about today’s date and when I pass by on I 40, the Sound of Silence starts playing on the radio and it hits me head on. I think daily if I stopped on the eastbound side while you were on the westbound side I could have been there for you. Less than a minute later, I was responding back to you and I couldn’t get there fast enough. I live with this dilemma every day and since that day 16 years ago, I have experienced so many tragic events and I wonder if it’s my punishment for not stopping that day. I often think about the conversation's we had and I wish I could ask you more questions instead of being around a table with only one seat left now.

Calvin, I am sorry

On November 27, 1986, I met Trooper Taylor at the scene of an accident. I was a passer-by who just happened upon the scene. I help with the critical patient. Trooper Taylor said "If I'm ever in an accident, I hope you are the one who stops to help me." Those words inspired me to go to nursing school. On September 11, 2012, I was the nurse who stopped to help Trooper Matt Mitchell, less than one mile from this initial accident. Had I not stopped, Trooper Mitchell may not have survived. The impact Trooper Taylor had on my life has been phenomenal and the lives touched is in the thousands. I was heartbroken when he lost his life that I was not there to help him. I still think of him often and credit my career to his inspiration.

Dearest Calvin,
This has been a terrible year already for law enforcement. Gunfire deaths are up 167% already. Some of the officers have been ambushed. The world & our country is getting terrible....my hope is in The Lord, for he alone can fix all of the problems. One of our dear friends stood outside as another trooper's funeral procession passed in the area where she lives....she said it brought back such sad memories of your funeral. The sadness, grief & regret is always just below the surface, no matter how much time goes by. I am blessed to be able to have wonderful, happy memories of you & our life together. Thanks!!!!!

Dearest Calvin,
Thanks for our very special day 22 years ago this date!

"There are days I've taken more than I can give
And there are choices that I made
That I wouldn't make again.
I've had my share of laughter,
Of tears and troubled times.
This has been the story of my life.

I have won and I have lost.
I got it right sometimes,
But sometimes I did not.
Life's been a journey,
I've seen joy, I've seen regret.
Oh and HE has been my God
Through all if it."

I'm thankful to God that we shared the years that we did and that God has been with me in the years since you've been gone. In spite of our situation, the years following 2001 have not been easy. However, remembering what you told me, I have tried to be happy in life (sometimes I have been and sometimes not). Save a place for me......

Denise
