Reflections for Patrolman Shane Miller

Shane, I just had to stop in again and let you know that we had another Shane Miller Scholarship Dinner. We served the usual, ribeye steaks, babyback ribs, baked potatoe, salad, roll and a desert. We were not allowed to have it at Williams Township Fire Dept., even tho you were an active member there when called you home. Your Dad decided it was best if he leave the Dept., so being he (your Dad) was no longer a member we were told no. But you know we wish the best for them and May God' Blessings be upon them.
So Tabor City Rescue Squad (where you were an EMT) was more than glad to have it at the Squad Building. You know when one door closes God will open another, isn't he GOOD to us? WE had a Good Day, everyone worked very hard. As usual alot of tears and alot of laughter. We want to keep you name alive and try to help someone in BLET with there expense. You were talked about often, with that great smile and the love of helping mankind. You always said, "YOU WERE BORN TO PROTECT AND SERVE". Now you are serving in heaven and we will see you again someday.
WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Days turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years, it doesn't matter how long it has been the pain and hurt still remains for those who loved you sooo much. It is so unfair that you were taken from us. WHY, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? This question has been ask over and over. Shane you are missed more than words can say. AS I was riding along today I was thinking, why can't he still be here for me to see, to talk with and just to be with like we use to. WHY? I miss you so much. I know I have said this many times and will continue to say these words. I just can't accept the fact that you are gone. At times life seems to be more than we can handle, so PLEASE WATCH OVER US DAY AND NIGHT. Quess I'll go by saying, MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EACH PASSING DAY, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Regardless of how many reflections I now leave, I want you to know that I still think of you daily. I honestly think time helps with the sanity part, however my mind still wanders to memories that I will cherish forever. Lots of questions that will never be answered and I guess are better left unspoken drift through my mind. It seems as though a wonderful life was lost/taken and no one pays the price except for those of us who loved you. It just doesn't feel right. But, what do we do, we must accept the hand that we've been dealt. We don't have to like it, however the cards are the same no matter how we turn them. Still doesn't seem fair....

Hello brother, Its been a long time since i left my last message but I think about all the fun we had and hope to have again when we meet again. I recently got promoted and the only thing that would have made it better is that you would have bben there to help celebrate with me. I know you will keep an eye on us as we go about our lives waiting for the time we all get called home. Well my brother I have to go to bed and try to get some sleep for work in the morning. Untill we meet again my brother don't have too much fun up there without us.

My Dear Shane, I can think back to the day that you were born and how complete you made our life. It was the most wonderful experience that any parent could ask for. You were so beautiful with your cute little nose and those "little blueberry eyes" as your Dad would say. Your hair was so soft and blonde. I can recall you waking up for feedings during the night, and yes I was so sleepy, but when you would look up at me and smile my heart would just explode with so much happiness, time was of no concern to me. Then watching you grow up and all the little and sometimes big things that (nobody but you could come up with) was wonderful. You were full of life and had a wonderful humor about you, well I could go one but just to let you know, as you already do, but I can say it again right, you were and still are our ANGEL ON EARTH. Now you are in Heaven shinning like the star you were on earth.

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SON.

JUSTICE WAS NEVER SERVED TO THE PERSON OR PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS YOUNG MANS DEATH. THIS WAS UNCALLED FOR, IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. THE ONE DRIVING THAT PC SHOULD HAVE HAD BETTER TRAINING AND JUDGEMENT ON THIS CALL.

September 5, 2007

My Dear Shane, Has been awhile since I have been online, wouldn't you know, my computer has been down again. Anyway that doesn't mean I have not been thinking about you. As always you are on my mind twenty four seven. Have had some real bad days lately, yes some say my days will get better, do they, if so I am still waiting. I know you are already aware of what is going on with your
grandmother. So would you and Jesus watch over her and our family who is taking care of her. It is very hard on all of us. I have to look up to the sky alot and pray hard for strength so just watch over us, ok? I NEED YOU NOW.
Shane, life is just not the same anymore. I know you would want your Dad and I to be happy again but that will never happen until Jesus calls us home to be with him and stroll over heaven with you. NOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE HAPPINESS!
Quess I will go for now, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SON.

To the family, friends and coworkers: I know you are still suffering and grieving. You are not alone. The police community wraps our arms around you and mourns with you as if he were our own.

The thin blue line is thinner and thinner each day.. watch over us, Shane. RIP.

Why, why, why, did this have to happen? The one question that everyone wants to know. Shane, you were a good man in everyway. Soo soo many people who loved and very much still love you so much. I remember laughing at your jokes and comments to everything. You sure did know how to make someone laugh and there for anyone who needed anything. I know i wasnt as close to you as some of your friends but i know i did have a friendship with you and im happy with that. Oh yeah... i do remember something u told me never to forget.. and you were right about it. Watch over your family, friends and those in law, fire, and rescue, 911 dispatchers. And of course your mom and dad, they're 2 wonderful people and you're their Angel on earth and heaven. PS. Watch over my special someone too. We all miss and love you very much!!

Happy Birthday in Heaven Shane! Please continue to watch over all of us especially your Mama and Daddy who love and miss you so much. They're broken hearted and it hurts to see them in such agony. One day you'll all be reunited. Walking hand and hand thru the streets of heaven. No more pain and suffering,no more lonely,broken hearts,no more tears. Only tears of joy! We'll see you soon. Until then know that you are loved more than life itself.
