Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Scott's Killer was sentenced to life w/o parole this past wednesday (7-30-03). A little comfort, but it doesn't replace Scott.

I miss you honey. Next week it will be a year since you were taken from me. I wish you were here.

I love you.

Monica

Stewie,

To a great partner and most of all a great friend. We all miss you very much, and not a day goes by that we don't think about and your great personality. I learned alot from you in the very short time we were partners. Thank you for all the great memories and I will see you soon my friend.

I hope the ending of Scott and Jessica's trials will bring you all some sort of peace. It must have been hard to relive it all.

Monica- I am really praying for you. It seems as if your pain is only getting worse. All the dreams seem lost, but he is with you.

Good luck to you.

I don't know what to say
or how to explain this pain
I'm completely speechless
But have so many thoughts in my brain.

My tears just won't stop
And my cries grow louder
You weren't "Just a cop"
You were......YOU.

No one can believe
How amazing you were
If only they could see
How you became a warrior.

You've always been there,
Always in my life,
Always one who cared
About everybody's life.

You truly were amazing,
I tell no lies,
Keep heaven safe
And don't mind my muffled cries.

Scott,
I'm just missing you fiercely right now and it is hard to hold back the tears. I'm trying to be strong, but I think I'm losing. How ridiculus I must look, an officer in full uniform crying for no obivious reason. I wish someone could explain WHY.

I love you, I'm counting the days....hopefully God won't be cruel to us.

love
Monica

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And it's like you haven't been,
Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me.

And with all my heart I'm sure,
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see,
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Now when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light,
It never ends and if I'm right,
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe
Oh, I believe

Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh, the people who don't see the most,
Say that I believe in ghosts
If that makes me crazy, then I am,
'Cause I believe

Oh I believe

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And I believe

Scott, I believe you are always with me. Every chill is a hug from you. I'll never stop loving you. A part of me will always be missing and I will never be whole until I am with you again.
I miss you and Love you.

Happy Birthday Honey, It's a bittersweet day part of me is glad you were born on this day, but a major part of me is sad you can't be here to celebrate the day. Your killer was convicted yesterday, not a bad birthday gift. The best would be watching him receive the same treatment he gave you. It is not right. You should have spent the day enjoying a huge chocolate brownie cake and dark dove chocolate. Instead the only thing I could give you was chocolate milk. I went to see you today, first time since christmas. I couldn't bear to go out there and look at what was put down. But, I guess it's true time does make things easier to handle, or it could of been that I just didn't look down. I wish I could have talk to you face to face. I miss you so much and my love for you is just as strong as it was a year ago.
Happy Birthday
I love you,
Monica

Scott,
Not a moment goes by without you in my thoughts. The only comfort I have is that one day I will be with you again. I look forward to that day, hopefully it won't be to far away. I never thought there would have been a day without you in my life. It's been 10 months and I still feel as though I'm in a sick, twisted dream. Curtis and I miss you very much. It's been extremely hard without you. It's not right. You should be here with me planning our wedding not lying at Christian Memorial. We lived our lives as though we were married and in my heart you are my husband and I am your wife. I remember the day you said I am the only Mrs. Stewart. I remember all the times we spent together and I can't help but smile. No one can take our love from us. One day I will be at Christian Memorial with you, unfortunately for you I will be at your feet tickling them every chance I get (Ha, Ha I know how you hate that).
I love you,
Monica

P.S. Curtis sends his love

God Bless to the Stewart Family. It has been several months since Stewie was killed and I find myself drawn back to read everyone's reflections. I knew Stewie through one of his partners and he was the best kind of man. There was no one better than Stewie. He was always kind and friendly to me. I will never forget the day I heard the news. I just keeping thinking if I feel this way what must his family feel? So, to the Stewart family...you are in my thoughts and my prayers. Stewie will never be forgotten!

I have just come across this officer's memorial page...and as I read it I am shedding tears for his family, friends, and co-workers. Officer Stewart was taken from the world way too early. God Bless him...and may he rest in peace.

Scotty,
It has been six months now. I was in DC this weekend. As I visited the Police Memorial, my one thought was how you liked DC and wanted to go back. Well, in May your name and memory will be there forever. I can not describe how much I miss you, it has been a difficult six months. I think about you all the time. I think about how much you enjoyed life and did the things you wanted to do.

I miss you.
Love,
Andrea

Once a brother, always a brother. You died a hero Scott and we know that you are in a better place watching over your fellow brothers and sisters. God Speed my brother-in-arms.

Rest in peace. It was a honor to work with you in Detroit. You are in a wonderful place now. My family and I have you in our prayers. You are truly a hero my friend.

My heart goes out to the family, and as a former DPD officer assigned to #9 it hurts me deeply to read of another officer down. Officer Stewart is now working at a much better precinct now.

To Officer Stewart's friends, family, and fellow officers, I hope you can find a way to ease your pain and suffering you will endure throughout this tragic time.

The person who killed him will pay for his cowardly deed. Bet on it.

God bless you all.

Your fellow brother in blue.

I did not know Officer Stewart, but my heart breaks nonetheless. The thin blue line has received another blow, but it still stands strong. Officer Stewart, you will be missed by all those whose lives you have touched , and by every citizen you have sworn to protect. May you rest in peace and godspeed......

As a former Detroit Police Officer assigned to the 9th prct,it saddens me to hear of Officer Stewarts death. I never met Officer Stewart, but having worked at the 9th prct the pain of his loss is felt here in Georgia. Rest In Peace.

Scotty I can't make it through an hour without thinking of you, and usually end up in tears. Sharing memories with those who knew you and loved you is the only comfort. Sometimes it justs hurts to breathe. Every time I look at Shelby I see your face. I love you and miss you more than I can say. Your memory lives on in all lucky enough to know you.

I know you're in a better place and the place you left is better for your having been there. On behalf of the Agents of the Detroit Division of the FBI, and the members of the FBI Agents Association, I express my condolences to your family, friends and colleagues.

Rest in Peace.

THE POLICEMAN’S LAST ROLE CALL

THE POLICEMAN STOOD AND FACED HIS GOD, WHICH MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS. HE HOPED HIS SHOES WERE SHINING, JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HIS BRASS. "STEP FORWARD NOW, POLICEMAN. HOW SHALL I DEAL WITH YOU? HAVE YOU ALWAYS TURNED THE OTHER CHEEK? TO MY CHURCH HAVE YOU BEEN TRUE?"

THE POLICEMAN SQUARED his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain’t. Because those of us who carry badges can’t always be a Saint. I’ve had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I’ve been violent because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny that wasn’t mine to keep, though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I’ve wept many unmanly tears. I know I don’t deserve a place among the people here, they never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you’ve a place for me Lord, it needn’t be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don’t, I’ll understand."


There was silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quietly, for the judgement of his God. "Step forward now, policeman, you’ve borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven’s streets, you’ve done your time in hell."
