Reflections for Captain George Scott Monier

Scott, you are deeply missed to this day. You can see what has happened to us. It was you that held us together and leading us. Now we are just scrambling each day, with no goal in sight that we can reach. How much you meant to us and we never knew at the moment.......

July 31, 2006

Dear Scott
It has been forever since the smell of you walked by.
A strand of your golden hair floated gently to the ground.
Your breath warmed the air around you.
But it has only been a moment since the thought of you.

Dear Vicki
I pray for your heart and that incredible smile and laugh we all remember.
I hope your journey is full of all that keeps you warm and surrounded by love.

A very old friend of Vicki’s

Scott was my dad's best friend (doug deweese)and he always will be.Scott was the best friend that my dad could ask for and he isn't just a great friend but also a great father. Scott helped us build our house 10 years ago. Scott was a wonderful man.I always think hes still here but I realize that he is in spirit. He is my hero and like they say heros never die.

To Scott Monier and his loved ones:

Scott, your eow date was exactly three years before my son's. Both you and Larry died by gunfire. Both deaths, like that of all fallen officers, left behind beautiful memories but shattered lives.

My heart goes out to your family. You’re in our thoughts and our prayers.
I hope that our paths cross someday.

Scott, you rescued us, saved our possessions, our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Captain Scott Monier. I am humbled by your valor, courage, and dedication.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Scott gave to his community and the citizens of Texas, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on April 24, 2002.

Scott, I have read other officers reflections and there are pages and pages for some of them. People misses their loved ones and want a way to talk with them. I do also. So I will be coming back often. Sami Jo and Laci were taken flowers for Valentines Day. I know they enjoyed them. I know how you loved the holidays with your family. What memories they will always have of you. Sami Jo uses your ID# on her computer. Scott we still miss you so very much. And your love will always be with us. And you will always have our love. Scott save a chair for me.

My Dear Scott, it has been over 3 1/2 years since the day you took us to lunch for Secretary's Day and when we lelt you took me to a call to wait for another officer, then you returned to the PD. The other officer came and asked if it was ok for her to leave because dispatch was calling all officers for a hostage situation. I remember waiting for so long, I called and only got their voice mail. I needed for someone to pick me up. I didn't have my radio with me. I called and spoke with dispatch, she told me that you had been shot and she would have someone pick me up as soon as possible. I told her that I would get a way back to the station. I remember it was so hot that day. A neighbor of my victim picked me up and took me back to the PD. I kept thinking that you would be ok, never thought that you wouldn't make it. I remember everything that happened that day from then on. But, when Mike called and said, "Be prepared for the worst". I knew then. I went back to my office and just sat there. This couldn't be happening, not to Scott. The day was so long, than the hospital, then the next day and the days that followed. Then the funeral, and Scott I kept thinking what you had said to me a few years before. Remember, it was in December when we had gone out on our lunch break, and you were looking for something to buy for Vicki and a funeral possession was going by, you stopped and pulled over and looked at me and said, "When I go, thats the way I want to go". Then you said, "That's the way to do it, ain't it?"

Scott I have missed you so much, and everyone has. But, I have never met anyone in my life that has impacted so many lives. They had to hire 3 people to replace you. And its still not the same.

I have talked with Vicki, and she is finally trying to move on. Your oldest will never forget you, and somehow she is holding onto you. The little one told me that she forgot what your voice sounded like. She needs to have a Daddy to spend time with her like you did.

The ones at the PD still think of you so often, we were all so greedy for your time. You just made everyone of us feel so special. And you were so glad when we would arrest someone on a Sexual Assault of a Child warrant. There was no percy to be spared by you.

Scott I go to your grave and visit with you, and knew one day that I wanted to write in your book of life, I just wanted to wait for when my time was right. Doug left you something lovely on your grave, it is so like you and his love for you. It is beautiful.

Scott, I have retired now, I know that you would have been there had you been here, but I feel like you were there anyway.

Scott you were such a professional in what you did, I looked up to you in so many ways. I love you as so many others. Words cannot express the feelings that I have. Thank you for the many memories that I have of you. I will always think of you and return to this page where sometimes I feel close to you here.

I read these reflections, and can't help but wonder why anyone would want to list their names as "anonymous". I want peopel to know who wrote this reflection, and how I feel now, and felt when Scott was killed.

Scott and I grew up together. From the seventh grade we became very best friends. We went everywhere together. Scott is the one who talked me into becoming a Peace Officer.

Unfortunately, I told him about the opening at White Settlement that he was hired into. He quickly promoted due to his talents and abilities.

Scott was the best friend any one could ever ask for!! HE is the reason I became a Peace Officer, HE kept me out of trouble in High School. HE was always around, always smiling, always happy, always willing to help, always wanted to go shoot. Later, he always talked about his girls and Vickie, always talked about how well the two of us had done for ourselves within the departments.

Scott was like my brother, I loved him with all my heart, I think about him every single day. I MISS him !!!

Today is 11/16/05, I don't know why I decided to write this today. My heart is heavy because I miss him so very much. Scott was always better than me at everything we did, he was just talented at things, gifted. Now he has beat me to Heaven, and I do know he is in Heaven. At least through my faith in God, I know I will get to see him again someday. Untill then my brother, I love you !!

To the family and friends of Captain Monier and his fellow officers, and most especially to Captain Monier:

In reading the reflections about Scott, it is obvious he was a much loved and well-respected man, one who truly deserves the title hero. I wish I had the honor to have met him, but the essence of him lives on through the memories so lovingly recounted in the reflections.

On behalf of our entire family, we extend our sincerest condolences for the grievous loss you suffered when he was brutally murdered three years ago.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many years of service Captain Monier gave to his community, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on April 24, 2002.

Your picture is all over the p.d. I see the goodness and joy in your eyes. I try not to be angry but its hard. You had a beautiful wife and two spunky daughters that you adored. You were so happy and so nice and everyone misses you. Im not sure what to say other than Im so sorry and I hope you realize all that you meant to so many.......

In loving memory of Capt. Monier:
According to these reflections, you knew Jesus personally and that blesses me greatly as I know I will meet you face to face one day and be able to thank you for your sacrifice. There is none greater than Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We don't get to Heaven based on what we do, but by the sacrifice He made on the cross for our sins. AMEN! Thank you for your fine example to those that worked with you and knew you. There is now a huge void that cannot be filled, but as you are remembered, thoughts will turn to
your exemplary life and we will be filled with pride and respect and love
for the man you became. You were a wonderful testimony to the Lord you
served. God be with all those who mourn and may His promises lift all those with heavy hearts for many years to come. I am reaching thru this computer and giving a big HUG
to your sweet widow and your two
girls. I wish I could erase your pain, but it is God-size and He's the only One up to the task.

Sitting here today I thought about the last time I saw you. It was our family get-to-gether for the April birthdays. We waited forever to be seated and even longer for the food. I remember watching you with your arm around mom talking "Police Talk" and laughing at dads jokes he had heard at work. I remember how much fun all the kids were having while we waited. Then the cake, presents and after 3 hours or more we leave. I remember you holding the door open for me and I told you you were "such a gentleman" and we laughed. That was Sunday. Wednesday you were gone but will never be forgotten. We all love and miss you dearly.
I thanked God for slow service at the restaurant......HE knew

Scott could never imagine what a void his death has left in our department, and in our hearts. He was a truly good man, father, and husband. He cared for everyone as if they were members of his own family. There will never be another like Scott. May we all strive to be more like him.

Scott, I miss you, you were my mentor, my friend and my son-in-law. You left me with two beautiful grand daughters and a heart full of memories. Every day I miss your smile, your patience and your ability to make everything right. You chose my daughter to love and was the perfect husband and father and son-in-law. I am better off to have known you and will keep your memory fresh for the girls. We all miss you. Our guiding star.

Once again, I read with great sadness of another huge loss.We always seem to lose the very best people we have.I have known many officers; only a few remind me of Scott. One of these people is my best friend and brother in arms. May Scott never be forgotten, and rest in the peace he deserves.And may we never forget that because of his unhalting courage under fire, many officers and good citizens are still alive who otherwise would likely have been killed by the monster who caused all this.
God Speed.

Scott, you and I tested the same day for the White Settlement Police Department and later that afternoon we were paired up for the physical agility test. Little did I know that we would work together for almost five years and during that time you would become my best friend. I think of you often, especially as I pass by the Law Enforcement center that you helped design and oversaw the construction of.

It’s been two years since the day of your funeral and it has been almost a year since your name was added to the Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. The pain is still fresh from the day I heard that we had lost you. You made a difference in the lives of many people while you were on this earth. The officers and dispatchers who had the pleasure of working with you, the civilians you were entrusted to protect, and your family were all blessed for having you in their lives. You lived your life with respect and died serving others. This was a terrible loss that will always be remembered, not because of how you died, but because so many others will never have the opportunity to know you…

To Capt. Monier's family:

He will never be forgotten, he is a true hero.
I really believe that last May I was guided to Capt. Monier's sister in
Washington at the memorial by him. As his name was read at the roll call
on May 13th, a strange feeling came over me , as if someone was
touching my back or neck, at first I assumed it was the wind that was
blowing. After the final name, a friend and I walked to the wall where the
name of a NY State Trooper was added that evening. As my friend stood
there talking with two NY Troopers, I noticed this young woman there at
the wall, I gave her a hug and we talked, she showed me her brothers
name, it was Capt. Monier's name. There is no other explanation for this
happening, as our conversation continued I became convinced that
God's hand guided me to her and Capt. Monier was right there with us. I
have been in Washington every year but two since 1988, and this was
the most moving monment ever. God indeed does love police officers
and their families.

Agin, to Capt. Monier's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you on
this anniversary day, and my thoughts and prayers are also with his
fellow officers.

Be safe.

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

It is refreshing to hear of a womans love for her husband. I am sure he is watching over you, and holding you as you sleep and dream of him.

I pray that you and your daughters have a lifetime of happiness together with nothing but good thoughts of your perfect life with a perfect hero watching over you.


May God continue to bless you, just as he has by giving you many wonderful years of love with your hero.

A PROMISE, I CAN NOT KEEP

Our wedding day was filled with joy
A life together we had to enjoy

I remember it like it was yesterday
And yet it seems so far away

I made a promise to love, honor, and cherish
We had a special love that could not perish

Through sickness and in health, till death do us part
I loved him unconditionally with all of my heart

I can not keep that promise today
Although my Scott has been taken away

I will always be his loving wife
For every day of the rest of my life

You see, not many find that special one
And I refuse to say that our marriage is done

We have two beautiful girls that must be raised
Two girls that we continually praised

We lay in bed talking of how lucky we were
We had two healthy girls, who could ask for more?

We had built our house, with our own two hands
We had it all, it was perfect- you understand?

How can I say that is has come to an end?
To say that I am a widow, I must only pretend

I made a promise to keep you in my heart
And though we are temporarily apart

I will continue to be your wife
And finish out our perfect life

I still see your eyes filled with love
I still look up to you, but in the moon above

I know you are still listening to every word I say
I know you watch over your girls every day

I know you miss your family so
I know onward we must go

But I refuse to end our marriage today
Just because some jerk, took you away

You did not go without a fight for your life
You would never leave your girls and me, your wife

You and I never spoke of seperating our lives
So I still continue to be your wife

Till death do us part is a lie you know
I'm married to you forever, but forward I must go

Our Marriage did not come to an end you see?
We will be as happy as we can now be

Our love is strong enough to reach to eternity
I know in your eyes when you still look at me

That you will be with me and me with you
When my life is finished and I have nothing else to do

So you see, our marriage did not end on that day
I will love my husband forever, and no one will take that away!
