Brian,

I still can't tell you how special Lorrie is to me and how I find comfort in speaking with her. Also, my dad (MdTA Police retired Ofc. Panowitz) remembers you from the Honor Guard. He said he will never forget your smile.

Continue to keep watch over your family, friends and co-workers. It is so hard to believe that you and Duke have been gone six months.

Winder,
The New Year came in and my heart was still heavy thinking of the lost of a brother and a friend... I thought about Lorrie, the kids and your parents a lot and with my thoughts I prayed from them...I also prayed for the Southwest units that they continue to heal each and everyday. Rest in Peace in 2005

Forever your sister, friend and dispatcher

There's nothing as nice as someone who shares,your laughter, your secrets, your wishes and cares, someone who's there through your good times and tears, who stays by your side as your friend through the years. I will always love you and I thank you for being a special part of my life. You will forever have a special place in my heart. Shannie

It has been a while since I have been on this website. It is hard to look at your picture in this way along with the other fallen heroes. I miss you more than words can ever express. You know my heart and soul will always be with you there in heaven. Our love for one another burns forever. Heaven nor earth can separate us. I know you are with us at this holiday season. It is very hard to feel joyful in this season, but we are doing our best to be strong. I know you are watching over us and protecting us from heaven with the other fallen angels. Say hello to Gavin and Shiffield for me. Also let Duke Aaron know I will be looking out for his wonderful wife Jennifer my friend for life. Peace Be With You My Soul Mate For Life

Winder,

I just wanted to Thank you for being my friend and brother. You have shown me that it is not what you say to people it is how you say it. The words you said in the physical world still remain today because of how you said them.....

I always pray for Lorrie, the kids, your parents and siblings everyday. Now that the Holidays are near, I pray that your love continue to flow through them as a source of strength....

Sleep in heaven peace,,,,

P.S.

Thank you for being a guardian ANGEL.

Brian,

Please make sure you get Lorrie and Brandon to pick out that Charlie Brown Christmas Tree she and I talked about several weeks ago. Please help get them through the holidays and I will do my best to help her out as well. Also, if you hook up with my Duke for the holidays, just an FYI, for a little guy, he sure can eat. Take care of him for me. He is my world.

Hey B., it is now Thanksgiving, a time that we should give thanks for all of the blessings that the Almighty has bestowed upon us. We should do this everyday of the year not just on one particular day. I thank God each and every day for the opportunity given to me to have been able to meet you before you left this earthly dwelling. You were my partner, my family and my friend. It is especially hard for me to began to understand how something so tragic, could have happened to such an honestly good person, and to someone that I respected and looked up to, with the highest respect. I thought that the days would get easier, but that hasn't been the case. I can't seem to forget the tragic scene that I experienced that night, when I got to you too late, but I am trying to stay focused in God and I am trying to remember everything that you taught me on how to be a better person and officer. I will lead by your example and I will try to carry on where you left off. I am truly Thankful and Grateful for the blessing to know you and to even be there with you first, when you said goodbye. There is a reason for everything, and I have learned not to take life's experiences for granted. For you, I am truly thankful. Until we meet again partner!

Everyday is a challenge knowing I will only see your smile in my memory. I have always thought of you as my big brother instead of my uncle. I will never forget your smile and words of wisdom. Thank you for bringing Lorrie, Kim, Corey and Brandon into my life. I hope to see you again one day. Always proud of you Tonia

Not a day goes by that I do not think of Ofc. Winder's family and the terrible loss they have suffered and continue to suffer. I don't have the right words but I just want to say I care and my thoughts are always with you and praying for you.

October 16, 2004

To my best friend and husband. Happy Birthday to you in heaven. Your soul is with us forever. Happy 11th anniversary. I will see you again in heaven and we will share that 11th year someday. Love from your best friend in life. You said you would never leave me and i know you wouldnot have but God had other plans for our lives that we can never change. Our love can never be broken. Until we meet again, our love will stand forever. Love your wife and best friend Lorrie.

It's been three months since you've been gone and I still can't believe that you're not here only present in my memories of you. Your birthday is coming up and to think I had your birthday gift the last time I saw just waiting for October to come. I miss you so much and I love you more than words can say. You will forever have a special place in my heart. Loving you always and forever.

Officer Winder,

I remember the day of your funeral very well. My husband (MdTA Police Officer) stood along with your fellow brothers and sisters that day to take you home. When Duke came home that evening, he told me how "it got to him". As many funerals as Duke attended in his years of service, yours left a memorable impression on him.

I had no idea that a little over two weeks later I would find myself in the same situation as your wife found herself. One of the first people I wanted to talk to after my husband was killed was your wife. I was given that opportunity. She is a wonderful person. I can see why she was so special to you. I want to thank you, as well as Duke, for the opportunity I have been given to meet the sweet and caring person that Lorrie is.

Winder it has been two month since I lost you as a friend and a brother,however, it seems like yesturday...
I still remember our last conversation when you called to tell me about the scooters your where towing and get some additional information. As your dispatcher I gave you the information you needed and as a friend I told you be safe... My last words to you where be safe ....

Hours later I sat there and assisted you because you needed help ...But, It still does not seem real .... I know it happen but it is not real to me ... I vowed to you and your family like I do with other officers to keep you safe ...But, no matter how much I try you where not safe...

However, Now you are safe in the arms of the Lord. I pray every day that God strengthen me because it is hard to know I lost a friend...

Now you are safe in the arms of the Lord ...

I miss you
