I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to the family, coworkers, and friends of Officer land. Many of our brothers and sisters are gone, but none are ever forgotten. May you rest in peace. Then I heaard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? and Who will go for us? And I said "Here I am. Send Me!" ISAIH 6:8

David~

As your anniv. past it has already been two years. How time flies, it still seems as though it was yesterday. I cannot believe she is 8 already..
Things change over the years and we learn to live and love our family as though it could be the last time we meet. I mourn your death of two years, so sudden. I mourn the death of my best friend on a bike just like you. Only it has been 13 years now. It has been so hard but I know you are watching down on us. Your mother has made it through the surgery just fine.. As we knew she would..Now it is your time to watch over Shelly and her babies once again..Taylor is such a trooper too- she is going to be a "Big Sister" in about 7 weeks... she cant wait - she is so excited. I wish you could be here to see her so excited and so "grown up" for this... When we were at the Dr. once before she asked me .."Mom... when she is born , can I hold her?..I said yes, Then she said, well she will be too new right then, maybe after she's an hour old?... I thought she was to funny- so sure to know her own fear.. as if an hour would make a difference..
I know you would be so proud of her, she is so grown up- wise beyond her years... but what is new... Her grades are excellent..still.. keeping an 100 average.. Her teacher is very proud of her, and she's such a good helper as always.. She misses you, but no worries Ryan takes very good care of "Doodle" as he calls her. They Ride bikes together, just them~ on Sunday afternoons..and they talk about you often, all the badges Taylor has and all of the pins she has collected..
Thank you for giving me such a wonderful child- she is so loving and wonderful, and it is kinda funny b/c someof her hand and mouth actions are straight from you !!! Your mom and I laughed at Shelly's one day b/c we were talking and I did something that had you all over it- something I said or did, kinda funny but kinda sad...
All for now !!! We know your watching over us !!!
Thank you for being you !!!

Well Bubba, as you know I lost my beautiful son, I am so, so lost without him. I don't know if I will ever be the same. Please watch after him and please guide me and give me strength. This is about all I can write for now, I love you

Bubba, I know you see me down here and what I am going through right now, what I would give for you to be with me through this such awful time in my life, I know how your mom must feel, I too, am about to lose my son, I need you to take care of me through this and please look down and give me some sign you are here with me, I need you here to give me the strength I need to go on, I don't know if I can go on. I am just broken right now and need your help from up there. I pray for you and your family, please keep me in yours.
I love you and miss you, more then you ever would know. I learned a powerful lesson 2 years ago, never ever let a day go by without telling people how you truly feel about them, love like there is no tomorrow. I still feel guilty to this day, the last time you called me I told you I would call you back and the next day came and went then the next day I got the tragic news. I learned to give my kids every moment they deserve in life and now I know why. Please watch over me and steer me in the right direction through this, I know you can help me even if you are a million miles away, you are so so close. I love you.

I still think about you every day. I miss you so much it hurts. I miss your laugh, your humor that made you "Bubba". I miss how you could make my day better just by stopping by, smiling, and saying something that made me laugh. No one dances to a song they are singing like you did, at least not in public. Bubba, I've got so much I want to talk to you about. I miss stopping by Kids R Kids and just talking. I guess I have to say I'm sorry that I haven't kept in touch with anyone. It's just too hard, you know me Bubba, always the one not to show my feelings, got to be the strong one. Your missed by so many and you touched so many lives. If the true measure of a hero is how many lives they touch, then your a great one. You are, and always will be my best friend. Love ya Bubba.

D.P.,

I miss you so much! I think of you every day and think of all the fun times and conversations we had during the very short 4 years I knew you. I want you to know that you will never be forgotten. I was talking about you the other day to someone who never had the opportunity to know you and told the story of how you suggested that I broaden my horizons. I love you brother! And forever miss you!

Bubba,
You are missed here alot.You were a mans man.The women always loved Bubba.The men respected for what you stood for.You led so many people in the right direction with the postive attitude.Taken the time with those who where way over there head.If more of us took that time to do that.We would have alot less of the problems we have today.
You have got the best view point of all.I hope you are smileing up there watching all of us here.We know that there is alot of hurt still going on.I pray that,time will heal all us who are still griving here on earth.I know you are in a better place.I can still hear you say'n" Now Bubba if you dont get stright your going to get in trouble.With that grin you have.Bubba thanks for all the great times we had. One that I never will forget.Is the Garth Brooks concert.Parking infront of the old Omni downtonwn.With City of Atl. police dept. ticket all the way down reading POLICE about tens times. You told me not to worry the truck would be there when we come out.That was one time I had dought in what you were talkin about.But it was there when we came out.From there right on to MAMA'S. to end the night.
Bubba Thanks For Being My Dear Friend
