Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

SUGARBEAR,
THE TRIP TO D.C. WAS LIKE A GRAND FINALE. THE HONOR AND RESPECT THAT EVERYONE GAVE TO THE FALLEN OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE UNBELIEVABLE. WE HAD A POLICE ESCORT EVERYWHERE WE WENT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN ONE PLACE AND THE WERE FROM ALL OVER. THEY EVEN HAD THE MOUNTED POLICE AND YOU KNOW I LOVED THAT. THE CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL WAS SPECTACULAR, THE WALL WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE MEMORIAL WAS EMOTIONAL. IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL TRIP. WE GOT TO MEET THE PRESIDENT. I TOLD HIM HOW MUCH YOU LIKED HIM AND THAT I WISH I COULD HAVE VOTED FOR HIM TWICE. HE TOLD ME THANK YOU BUT ONCE WAS ENOUGH. HE IS SUCH A REAL PERSON, AND SO UNDERSTANDING. THE WORDS HE SAID TO ME ABOUT YOU MEANT SO MUCH. I WILL NEVER FORGET THEM!!! THE SONG I MISS MY FRIEND WAS SANG AT THE MEMORIAL AND IT IS SO TRUE. YOU WERE MY VERY BEST FRIEND AND I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING THE MAN, FRIEND AND HUSBAND YOU WERE. YOU WERE JUST THE BEST!!! I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MANGRUM THERE WITH ME. HE HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENED. HAVING HIM AS BIG AS HE IS THERE FOR ME TO HOLD ON TO WAS SO SPECIAL. HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO TAKE CARE OF ME THERE. I'M SURE YOU WERE PROUD BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE SITUATION. BABY YOU DESERVED ALL THE HONOR THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU THERE!!! JUST KNOW THAT YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!! YOUR NAME WILL BE ON THAT WALL FOR EVERYONE TO SEE FOREVER!!! UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. I LOVE YOU BABY!!!
LOVE ALWAYS,
YOUR WIFE

Clint,
What can I say about the Washington trip? It was sad to be so special!!!!!
The one that would have loved everything about it was not there, that would be you! Rain drops fell at the Capitol during the memorial, I told everybody it was just tears. I know you and Mother were talking about us and crying with us. Clint, seeing the picture your Mother made for you and your name on the wall was so hard to believe. We were there for you and you needed to be there. You deserved everything that was done. President Bush told us he was a Walker also. I took Jerry's pin with your picture in it off of his shirt and gave it to the President, and he put it in his pocket. He will remember you!!!!! Amanda was so glad Daryl was there for her. It meant so much to her and also to him. We will never forget you or this trip.
With My Love Always,
Your Other Mother

Hi Sweetheart,

Wasn't the show beautiful in D.C. We met so many wonderful people, officers from all over the world, parents, spouses so many people there to honor you and all the other LEO from 2004 and past years. The wall is so unbelievable, so many people there walking reading and leaving memto's. I hope you enjoyed what we left for you. It rained on Sat. night and ruined alot of things left, but yours stayed as pretty as the day we put it down. Dad left you a penny, and he has found two in return, he smiles at each one that you send back, "keep them coming."

Just wanted you to know that we love and miss you as much today if not more. You will live on in my heart as long as it beats.

I love you the MOST!

Clint,

It was such an honor to meet your family in D.C. this week. While we didn't get to actually have a conversation, I sat in a seminar with Amanda and her mother. They are both super sweet people, as I'm sure you know! I absolutely loved hearing Amanda talk about you. It is obvious that her love still runs deep. I bet you were a funny jokester! Please watch over them and the rest of your family as well. The journey has not ended - It is just taking on a new direction. I'm so glad you were honored this year. Thank you for your sacrifice. Please say hello to Cole for me. I am really missing him a lot especially now that I am alone again after Police Week. Amanda, take care of yourself. It was so good to meet you.

Hey Sweetheart,

I've been thinking about you alot lately. Lots of things going on right now. We went to the Candle Light and the FOP Memorial, which as you know all turned out wonderful. We all had to laugh when April's glow stick burst, we know you had something to do with that. You had the most people there respresenting you, at the candle light.
We will be going to D.C. to help honor you, and be there for Amanda, and all other LEO killed in Line of Duty. I know that all of you will have a front row seat, I hope you enjoy the show, it's all because of you.
We love you and miss you so much. I love you the most.

SUGARBEAR,
I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU ALOT OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. JUST ABOUT HOW FUNNY YOU WERE. MEMORIES OF YOU STANDING IN THE BACK OF EASTERN OAKS BAPTIST CHURCH CUTTING JOKES ABOUT ONE THING OR ANOTHER, ESPECIALLY ON THE SUNDAYS THAT WE ATE AT THE CHURCH. YOU JUST COULDN'T WAIT FOR THE SERVICE TO END SO YOU COULD GET BACK THERE TO EAT AND YOU MADE EVERYONE LAUGH WHEN YOU LET THEM KNOW IT. YOU HAD SUCH A SENSE OF HUMOR AND I MISS THAT SO MUCH. JUST THAT FUN JOKING SIDE OF YOU MADE ME LAUGH ALL THE TIME. THAT BIG SMILE OF YOURS JUST LIT UP MY LIFE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH BABY, YOUR LOVING HEART, SWEET FACE AND BIG ARMS THAT WOULD JUST MAKE THE REST OF THE WORLD DISAPPEAR AND IT WOULD BE JUST ME AND YOU. I MISS ME AND YOU SO MUCH. I NEVER WANTED IT TO BE JUST ME. WE WERE AN INSEPARABLE PAIR UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I AM STILL TRYING TO ADJUST. I KNOW YOU ARE STILL WITH ME JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY NOW. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. I LOVE YOU BABY!!!
LOVE ALWAYS!!!

Hello Sweetheart,

Just wanted to tell you that I'm missing you, are you getting all of your messages? I know you're probally laughing at each one you get, "thinking come on mama."
We're going to Titusvill, FL. next week to visit the Police Hall of Fame, they've added your name to the memorial there and we wanted to see it. I sure wish that we didn't have to and we were coming to Prattville instead to see you and Amanda.
I know that you are watching over us, and I know that you are having a wonderful time in heaven. I sit and look at your picture all the time, I sure wish you had a smile on your face in your police picture, but I understand you had to look serious. But I always loved your smile, your eyes would always sparkle when you smiled. And you sure new how to laugh, and have a good time. I sure miss you calling me when you were sitting, checking for speeders, you'd always say gotta go I got one. I'd always say be careful and love you the most. You'd say LOVE YOU MAMA, talk to you later. Oh how I miss that. I miss everything.

I know that I'm not suppose to question why things happen the way they do, that everything has a reason. And we've met some wonderful people through COPS, but I would give all them back to have you back with us. And I know that everyone of the COPS families would do the same thing for their loved one also.

I hope you have a Happy Easter in heaven, we will miss you, but we will think about you. You always loved to hide and hunt eggs. Remember all the Easter's at Granny's, the time April got mad at you for taking her eggs.
We will miss you, but I have lots of memories and will share them with anyone that wants to listen.

I'm so thankful for having you the 26 years that God allowed me to have you, you brought so much joy to my life. I will cherish all of your memories for the rest of my life.

Keep sending me messages, I love getting them.

Love you the most :o)

Clint,

I just left a reflection for my good friend, David Wilhelm, who was a Special agent with ICE and was murdered a few days ago . . . 3/11/05.

While reading the other reflections, I saw that your wonderful Mother had left him a reflection. In it she asked that we tell you that she misses and loves you. I asked God to relay the message, and I know he will.

Please say hello to my good friends, Officer Mims and Sergeant Russell of the Athens, Alabama Police Department. They were murdered 9 days before your death.

I honor you Clint, your name and your memory . . . but mostly for the ultimate sacrifice you made for the great State of Alabama. You looked like a hell of a man, and no doubt were an outstanding officer. With brotherly love and utmost respect, Jim Crotty (Former Richmond, VA Police Officer.)

I know that you miss him but please read these words:

When the sun turns to pink and gold on the horizon, he is there. When a rainbow lights up the face of a child, he is there. You can see him in the first daffodil of spring and on the white beaches of the Gulf. He is in these things and more, that when you need him, you will see him and know that he is with you always.

Clint, you will be in our hearts forever, we look for you everyday.

Dear Clint,

Just wanted you to know we miss you so very much! I spoke to Fred Overton (who was a guest speaker at Camellia Baptist Church Sunday. He did an overview of Heaven. I told him about several things that happened when we were planning your funeral. He said you were helping us from Heaven (and boy did we need it). There is no doubt is his mind that you are watching us. You have become an Angel in Heaven. (Which we all already knew). Your spirit continues to be with us. I know that is true. Otherwise, Amanda would not be as strong as she is. She amazes me. She held up real good at the widows banquet at Church-even when Robert sang your song "For the Hero" to her. Of course he had to sing her an Elvis song also.
Linda trys to be strong for Amanda- while at the same time hurting from the loss of you. The pain and suffering she watches Amanda go through only adds to her own pain and grief. SHE TOO IS HURTING AND SUFFERING- She has good days and bad days. This 1st year has been hard and as reality sets in the second year - it becomes harder. Linda and Amanda practially live at the cemetary. Amanda was there over an hour the a few days before Valentines day visiting and putting decorations on your grave.Making sure everything was perfect.(You know how Amanda and Linda both go all out for holidays- well you can only imagine what your grave looks like and you add what Connie puts up there--You guessed it a True Shrine Fit for A HERO-you would be proud!)I know you will continue to watch over us and lend us strength. Linda needs extra help. She has been strong for Jerry through hunting season and has been strong for Amanda during all of the holidays- you know they all hit in a four month time frame. So she is tired and weary. Lend her your strength. Amanda was talking to me at the Valentines Banquet about the year you spent in Japan and how it seemed like forever before you came home and how much she missed you but she knew you would return. She is trying real hard to accept the fact you will never return to her here on earth. She knows she will have to come up to you in Heaven for you to be together again and believe me she is ready to go. She can't wait to see Jesus and you in Heaven. I will be excited to see Jesus and you in Heaven also, and for our family to be together once again. Remember Clint like the song says- W-e--a-r-e--f-a-m-i-l-y. I love you dearly-Your Aunt Cindy.

SUGARBEAR,
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! THIS DAY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME FOR ME. I CAN STILL SEE THAT BIG PROUD SMILE ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU WOULD COME TO MY WORK WITH YOUR ARMS FULL OF ROSES, BIG BOX OF CANDY AND TEDDY BEAR THAT PLAY ELVIS SONGS. YOU KNEW THAT YOU HAD OUT DONE YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE. NO MATTER WHAT OCCASION YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN. THAT'S WHY EVERY OCCASION WITHOUT YOU IS SO HARD. THIS WAS MY SECOND VALENTINES DAY WITHOUT YOU AND THE SECOND WIDOWS BANQUET I WENT TO BECAUSE OF LOOSING YOU. I AM SO GLAD WE JOINED CAMELLIA BAPTIST, THEY HAVE BEEN A GREAT SUPPORT TO ME. I HAVE MY OWN DEACON AT CHURCH AND THEY COOKED AND SERVED ALL OF THE WIDOWS DINNER AND ROBERT WAS THE ENTERTAINMENT. I WISH WE HAD BEEN IN THE CHURCH LONGER BEFORE YOU DIED, SO EVERYONE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO KNOW WHAT A TRULY WONDERFUL PERSON YOU WERE. I AM SO GLAD THAT THE CHURCH MADE SUCH A GREAT IMPRESSION ON US THAT WE JOINED AS QUICK AS WE DID. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, WHEN YOU MADE UP YOUR MIND TO DO SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T WASTE ANY TIME YOU JUST DID IT RIGHT THEN. I LOVE YOU BABY AND MISS YOU EVERY DAY. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
YOUR WIFE

Rest in Peace, Brother. Your service and sacrifice will not be forgotten. The life you lived here must have proven that you are a true warrior, deserving to be called Home to serve in Paradise. Continue to give strength to those you left behind and let them find solace in knowing how many people respect and admire you. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Happy Valentines Day, the second one without you. I still miss you so much, it doesn't get any easier. They say the second year is the hardest, well I can't imagine what it's going to be like.
When I'm talking to people and start to say something about you or something that you use to do, I catch myself and pause for a minute, because I relize that you are not here. But I pull every ounce of my being to continue before losing all control, so that I can share every memory of you that I can, with anyone that will listen to me.
Clint, I'm trying to be strong for you, I want you to be proud of what I do to carry your name on for people to remember you. So just help anytime you feel the need, I could use all the help I can get.
I sure miss you, just remember "I love you the most"....

To the Family, friends and coworkers of Ofc. Clinton Walker, I would like to send my concolences, what a tragic incident, my heart goes out to all of you who knew this man, although I didn't know Clinton my heart still goes out to him... I just recently came across this web site and have logged on everyday. Every Reflection I have read has truly touched me... I know far too well how it feels to loose a loved one, on 2/16/04 two close friends (coworkers) of mine were killed in the line of duty, P.O. Bowens and P.O. Fettig. May God keep you all close and strong for all your days. GOD BLESS......

Ms. Baker, Thank you for leaving your reflection for Wally (William) Rolniak. I have never posted a reflection, not even for Wally, but as his anniversary, or as you so eloquently put it, his first birthday in heaven, approaches I will. I stared at Clint's picture and thought; yep Wally would like this man. I noticed that Clint's badge number is 102, Wally's is 101. I think I'll have to agree with you that the two of them have made friends, are keeping their eyes on their loved ones, family and friends alike. In every tragedy, be it accidental or intentional, there has to be a reason or some kind of good. What good can come of our situations? Sometimes we have to look back on all that we've done over the past year since our hearts were ripped from our chests, and remember we survived. I know I didn't do it alone, I had lots of help from people that I never knew before, strong friendships have evolved, and though we share a common pain, we also share memories and say to one anther, boy Wally would have loved that. We cry and laugh in his honor and in his memory, keeping in mind the whole time that none of could have gotten through this alone. Love springs eternal, and because of the love that everyone has for these men, our heroes, they will live for an eternity in our hearts. Thank you for your kind words and support, my heart goes out to you and the rest of Clint's family, friends and loved ones.

A new friend to you and all.

This is a big THANK YOU to everyone that leaves a reflection in memory of Clint. Like you Brian, I look at this site everyday. It helps me to know that all of you miss him, and have not forgotten him. To hear your stories of Clint, and the things that he did, and things that have happened because of Clint, helps me to make it to the next time I read one of your memories. Angela, the angel peaking through the clouds made me break down again, (but I do that alot anyway) it was so awesome. Thanks to everyone, keep the memories coming, the family will see them, I know you all have tons of memories, I would love to hear them all.
I'll always consider you a part of my life, because Clint was a part of yours.
All of you have a special Angel riding with you now, but still be careful, I'm sure that God only allows him to do so much. :o) All of you are in my prayers daily...
