Thought about you all day today and missing your smile. So many things I wish I had said and done. I picture us at the Police Academy in Newport News. We had our good and bad days, but I would take them back any day. I will never forget you Sheila. Give Michael a hug for me.

I can't believe it's been seven years. We went to the memorial today and placed flowers by the marble stone with your name. I am still trying to figure how time heals all wounds. I am still wounded. The only thing time has done is pass and take me with it. I still wish you were here. Nothing will ever be the same for me anymore. My heart is still broken and you took a piece of me when you left this earthly place. I will love you beyond eternity.

Missing you STILL

Hey mom today is a very sad day for me. Today is the day you left us to be with someone better, God and Weedies. Me Krystal, Auntie and Uncle Dennis came to put some flowers out for you. We all miss you so much. We were talking about you as usual at Krystals. It saddens my heart to know someone so great is no longer here. I think about you all the time. You will always be remembered by all. I just wanted to tell you how much i love and miss you. Your daughter.

Sheila,
I know you and Weedies are smiling at us all from heaven. Its been a rough week - thinking of today. The day you went to Heaven. I pulled out the old Ziggy card you gave me. I just want you to know that I think of you everyday and that I Love You.

Hey Big Sis. You are missed. You are forever in my heart. I find myself looking at hearts and thinking about how much you loved them. I am coming to realize what hearts meant to you (LOVE). Everyone that knew you always says how much they love you and you always showed us LOVE. I will always love you and never will a day go by without me thinking about you.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER,
Your Little Sister Lisa

Sheila,

We never met but after a conversation with your sister Sharon, it was like I had known you for a while. Your memory will alway be an uplifting attribute to your family and those of us who have worn or will wear a police badge.

Hey Sheila,

Of course you already know that I think of you everyday. I just wanted you to know that you are really on my mind today. Every now and then I look at some of the correspondence you sent me. I save them in a special box. Your words were so true. I love you and continually pray for the rest of the family. Hopefully I'll see Sharon next week.

Oh yea, Happy Belated Marine Corps Birthday!

I love you with all my heart. I really miss you and I still have bad days. When I have my bad days I just call mom and I feel a little better. Your grandson is so sweet he gives kisses now. My grandaughter is a trip she has a mini melt down every time I say goodbye. My grandson is a trip too looking just like Dennis and busy as hell. He started walking before he was 10 months old he is going to give Krystal a run for her money. I just wish you were here. If I were to die today I would be ok. I've known a true hero got a chance to ride my motorcyle and I got a chance to see me and your grandchildren. I couldn't ask for much more!!!

Love You Beyond Eternity

We had a ball at Lexy's party the kids are still a trip. You know I never cook, but Krystal asked me to make spagetti and devil eggs. Lexy asked me to make string bean casserole and bring the alcohol for her favorite drink. Dennis thought that was funny. He said there was nothing else to bring I had done it all. Krystal made chicken and these fabulous green beans she also bought a veggie tray. She is just like her dad:) I got home a little after midnight but we all had so much fun. I wish you were here.

Hey Twin, as my mom would say... I still cannot believe that you are not here. I think of you everyday. I actually work for the police department now in a civilian capacity. I remember how excited you would get when you would talk about police work (the chases, drug busts, arrests). You are my hero. I miss you and love you so much. I know that you are in a better place in heaven, with weedies, your grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Your are forever in my heart

Hey Officer Herring, you crossed my mind today and I just wanted to say I was thinking of you. I just looked at some pics of you and some of your family members and I can tell you have a beautiful spirit. I say this because when people die, we automatically say they're dead and they're not coming back. But people forget that you aren't actually dead at all. Your as alive and well as me or my colleagues walking around this station. Your strong, kind and loving spirit will live forever. I know this because God said it was so and if it wasn't so he surely would have told us. So live your life with the Father and run on the gold streets and not get tired. To the Herring Family, as I'm sure you already know, SHE HASN'T GONE ANYWHERE, she's waiting for you all and we'll all be rejoycing with her. Thanks Officer Herring for your dedication to the people in your community. You touched so many lives and I continue to try to be as good of an officer as you were. May God continue to bless Officer Sheila Herring of the Norfolk Police Department.
