"You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes."

As I read this quote I thought of you and Bryan instantly... You raised an excellent son who has achieved excellence in life! He follows in your footsteps in so many ways... I know you have watched over the years and you continue to be proud of him through his journey in what we call life! I just thought this quote was perfect. Tell my daddy hi for me!

God Bless,

Well, Nathan I along with obviously MANY other people always think of you on this day. Sadly, it is not how you died but how you lived..you know the saying. But I do always think of you. Strangely, I think of you when I am reaching physical exhaustion while running or training etc. You come to mind telling me not to quit. It is a powerful motivator for me. You always were! It is good to see your picture again and I will definitely see you again in a MUCH BETTER PLACE!

Hey dad! Wow I can’t believe that it’s been 5 years since you past away. It sometimes feels like it was yesterday that you were called home. We are having the annual memorial balloon release party for you on Saturday. It so amazing that some many people come to help celebrate you life. I know that you are up in heaven watching over us, but I wish you were here so bad. You are the best father a girl could have; I want to thank you from the bottom of my heat for everything you did for us. I was so blessed to have you in my life for 19 years, and I’m always telling my girl, that they have a great gramps that love them. They will always know what an amazing man you were. I love and miss you so much, keep watching over all of us and keeping us safe. Love always your little girl. Katy

Officer Laurie,

I know we never met, but I wanted to take the time to tell you what a wonderful family you have.

I met your son in August and since that day my whole life began. He is a great man and I couldn't ask for more. I believe he has you to thank for that. He loves his job and his family very much. I must say, when your wife first met me she invited me into her home with no questions asked. She always treated me as one of the family. Over the period of time I have been with Bryan I have been blessed to be around all members of the family. I was very excited and honored to attend my very first Guns N Hoses last November.

Well... I just wanted you to know that I am very exited to become a member of the Laurie family and I wish so very much I could have met you. I know you are proud of Bryan in all that he does... You were his role model... and still are to this day...

Katie

(p.s) If you happen to see my dad... Tell him I love him!

Hey bud. I know it has been a long time since I have left you a message. But believe me, your not forgotten. I think about you all the time when I teach at COG. I heard that Brian as to turned out to be a very fine officer. Almost as good as you. But I dont think he could ever get there. I ran into some old classmates of ours. Some that I have not seen in years. It was nice because we sat there and talked about you. We all started tearing up. We had to look around to make sure that no one saw us grown men crying. We all miss you. I bring you up everytime I teach. You really are missed. Please keep watching over your family. I miss you. Take care of yourself. I will see you again one day.

Dear Nathan,
It has been a while since I last wrote to you and just wanted to let you know that we think about you often and are comforted knowing that you are up in heaven watching us. Jesse made Sergeant and although I worried about him going back on patrol, I knew that you would be watching over him and protecting him each and every day like you always promised me you would gave me comfort. I wish you a Merry Christmas!

Love Always,
Veronica
