At this time of year we celebrate the birth of a Saviour and yet mourn the loss of a saviour. We have a Saviour who made the ultimate sacrifice and we mourn a saviour who made the ultimate sacrifice. Our Saviour lives and this saviour shall live again. Rest In Peace

He is Gone

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your
back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.

Thinking of you, your family and Monica this holiday season. You were blessed to have so much love in your life. Continue to be the guardian Angel you are. Your parents are wonderful people, it's so hard to see the pain they are experiencing because you are gone. Your sisters are great women, they miss you so much. In all your family has experienced so much pain from your loss, but they continue to help others who are suffering the same loss. Says a lot. Your beautiful Monica, any man would be lucky to have someone continue to love them as she loves you. I believe she will love you till the day she dies and you will be a part of her all the way. What a strong woman, you would be proud of how she carried herself through your death and afterwards.

Merry Christmas Stew.

To Scott's family

Be still...

and you will
hear an ANGEL
whisper
"Love is near."

Love you,

I come here everyday, it's hard to write somedays. Maybe, it's because I talk with you everyday, so why write? :) I don't know if it's just the holiday time or something else, but lately I find myself crying more and more during the day and night because I miss you. I try to tell myself everything will be alright and that I must try to accept it all. Some days I wish someone could tell me why. Why? Why you? I try to tell myself it was your time. God, called you home ending your road, and mine had to continue. I wonder how things would have been if you weren't called home. Would we still be in MI? Probably not. With the way the department is going I would have never been able to talk you into staying, and where you go - I go. Unfortunately, I cannot follow you there, I have to wait. I'll see you again Pumpkin.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!

November 21, 2006

Went through photo albums last night, I can't believe that you have been gone so long. I was laughing at the picture of you riding Jordan's bike when you made what was to be your last visit to our place in Virginia. As I was looking at all of the pictures, I couldn't help wondering what your family picture would look like? How many kids would you have now? Where would your family be living? Where would we be living?

We will be going through another set of holidays without. I still think of you constantly and wish you were here to celebrate these holidays with us. Jordan still has your photos in her room, she has made a Memory Book that she keeps on her nightstand. She misses her Uncle Scotty. As always, you will be in our thoughts and conversations this holiday season. Keep being our Blue Angel.

Miss you!

Dear Monica,
Your life has been a reflection of your love for Scott. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have provided and continue to provide to me and to our group. I was excited about the news you gave today. I know that Josh, Scott, and all the other guys are cheering us on as we go through each day without them...giving us strength when we need it most. It's an honor knowing you and being able to know about Scott through you. As always, he would be proud of you and all that you have done to keep his memory and other fallen officer's memories alive. In the midst of our tragedies, I'm thankful for the friendships that have blossomed. Sending you love, hugs, and care bear stares of course.....

Your friend,
Kelly

Received some good news today. There will be more help for Fiance's and S/O's of Fallen Officers. I know all of you are together smiling at all of us for not giving up. Keep looking down over all of us. I love you. Not a moment passes that I don't think of you and wish you could still be here. I was asked a question this week on what would be the one thing in my life I would change if I could. I would have made you come home. I would have tried throwing a fit, guilt trip, anything to try to twist your arm to accept the offer to leave early. I wouldn't have taken no for an answer. I will always kick myself for being passive with you that day and accepting your desire to work.

I know you're always with me - thank you for the dreams. I love them.

I'll see you soon,
Honey Bunny

Scott -- I never met you; I didn't even know of you until all of this happened. But I have heard a great deal about you since then, and I wish I had had the pleasure of knowing you. Everytime I check Jessica's page, I check yours, too. And you're in my thoughts. Thank you for your service, for your sacrifice, and the love you showed to those who love you most and the love you showed for your job - it's so obvious how much love was there.

Monica, I know I haven't seen you or talked to you in quite some time, but I just wanted to tell you that you are often in my thoughts - you always have been. And I hope you are doing well. Thank you for showing me, and everyone, how truly special Scott is to you, and to this world.

Take care,
Katie

We miss you every day. Keep looking over us.

September 27, 2006

Another special day came and went. The day. I will always wonder and regret never being allowed to enjoy the day and everything that would have followed. I will never forget. In my heart you still are number one, and you always will be. Everytime I hear this song I break down because I know exactly what it feels like to be on the edge of something wonderful and have it ripped from you. Neither of us wanted or even thought things would turn out the way they did. We both thought we would be the old couple sitting on the porch watching our grandkids. Instead your in Heaven and all I can do is visit a plot. I can't hold you, I can't kiss you, I can't even have a two way conversation with you. I'm doing the best I can without you. The only thing that helps me is knowing I will be lying in Christian Memorial with you one day, and when that day comes you'll be the first person I see, and no one will part us again.

I love you pumpkin,
Honey Bunny

What Hurts The Most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you go away
And never knowing
What could have been
And seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this pain
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you go away
And never knowing
What could have been
And seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most was being
so close
And having so much to say
And watching you go away
And never knowing
What could have been
And seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do

MISS YOU, LOVE YOU

In My Life

There are places I remember
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever
Not for better
Some have gone
And some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one
Compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love
As something new
Though I know I'll never those affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more

Listening to Johnny Cash today and thinking about you.

I love you,
I miss you,
I'll see you soon.

Scott, it's not how you died, but how you lived your personal and professional life that made you a hero. No one knows why your life ended so soon. But we know that at his chosen time, he will tell us and we will understand. While, I never worked with you, I respect your work. So to you, your family and friends, I say job well done. Rest in peace.

Moncia, my heart goes out to you. Be safe.

Scotty,
It does not seem like 4 long years. I just wanted to say thank you for looking out for me the other night on your anniversary (8-11-06). I know you saw I was in a fight for my life and then the malfunction with my gun as I tried to end it. It could have ended much different than it did. I know you were there for me and Sarah and I thank you!!! I honestly feel that you got me through the incident and I know that you will be there for me again if needed. Thank you Scotty.

SCOTTY,

WE MADE IT BACK FROM THE 10TH ANNUAL CANOE TRIP YESTURDAY. WE KEPT ALL OF THE TRADITIONS AND EVEN ADDED A FEW NEW ONES THAT BROUGHT US EVEN MORE LAUGHS. WE MADE SURE THAT YOUR CHAIR WAS SITTING WITH US BY THE CAMP FIRE AND RAISED OUR GLASSES IN YOUR HONOR SEVERAL TIMES.

REFLECTING BACK ON THIS TRIP I REALIZE HOW LUCKY WE ALL ARE TO HAVE SUCH A GOOD CORE OF FRIENDS. WE ALL CAME FROM DIFFERENT PLACES BUT WE WERE ALL TOGETHER WHEN WE WITNESSED YOU DO THE FAMOUS CANOE WALK. WE WERE ALL TOGETHER WHEN YOUR BODY WAS PUT IN THE GROUND AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER TO REMEMBER YOU. SOMETIMES IN LIFE YOU DON'T TALK WITH FRIENDS FOR WEEKS, MONTHS OR YEARS BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FRIEND. WE HAVE A UNIQUE TRADITION THAT FEW UNDERSTAND BUT MANY ENVY. THE PAST FOUR YEARS HAVE GONE BY FAST WITHOUT YOU BUT YOUR MEMORY IS STILL FRESH IN OUR MINDS AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

THANKS FOR WATCHING OUR BACKS.

Another Aug. 11th has passed. I hate that day because thats the date you were taken from us.I didn't get to tell you goodbye that day but I do have the memory of a big hug whenever we would see each other. Who ever said time heals didn't know what they were talking about or they never lost a loved one, what you do is learn how to live with it, and sometime that is so hard.
The family and a few friends went out to visit you. Your headstone looked so clean and shiny because a special friend and your two little buddies took care of it as he always does.I won't thank him because he says he does it for you.

Then we came back to the house and so many friends, your friends, MI-COPS and Warthogs stopped by to help us get through the day, what a big help. For that we thank them.
A few of your friends that couldn't be here called to say hi.We had a beautiful day and I think you had something to do with that.
A bagpiper stopped by at 12:00 and played three songs of course one had to be Amazing Grace that one gets me every time always will.So glad he could stop by.
Of course the good ol Henny was passed around, I passed on it this time.
Your Dad came home from his boat trip was great to see him he will leave on Tues. to continue with his trip. He brought a horseshoe crab. Jordan has it, she thought it was the neatest thing.

Miss you sending you love and hugs,
Always in my heart.
