Merry Christmas Michael. Was at your brothers last night, thought of you as usual. Holidays are always hard, but I think of you every day. Your son told us a few stories about how you changed the lives of two police officers who crossed your path. I was glad they told him face to face what you did for them. Continue to keep watch over your children and also your mother. You are a true hero and we love and miss you. You have not been forgotten.

Hey dad I miss you beyond words. I started testing for police departments, despite the current climate of law enforcement. I feel a natural calling to serve and protect. I hope to keep making you proud. I’m praying that Dallas will be my home but only god knows where I will end up becoming a police officer. I wish we had more time but I know you’re looking down at me with a smile. I love you and miss you.

It was 27 years ago this week that I watched my 20 year old son walk down our driveway with an Army Recruiter to take you to the processing center. You enlisted for 5 years so that you could be an Airborne Army Military Policeman. Being 6'5" you were automatically on your way to Korea after your training. After that assignment you returned and then sent off to Bosnia to maintain peace. Another six months, living in a tent this time. You had to deal with and saw many terrible things. Finally, after 5 years you were honorably discharged and became a police officer, your lifelong dream. After 4 years that was all taken away and you also taken from us, including your children. We all miss you and will never let you be forgotten. There are no words to describe how much I miss you and love you son. Love Dad

My Brother who became a CPD officer in 1992, my mom and I were walking into Stroger Hospital the morning they brought you in. She was in the end stages of Pancreatic cancer. Philip Cline was walking through the emergency room doors as we were walking through. I will never forget that day, the outpouring of love and support from the CPD was all over the place. I felt honored to be an American. Thankyou always and forever for your service.

We had your benefit last night and it was a big success. Many of your friends were there supporting us. They couldn't believe how your son is your clone and even 2" taller than you at 6'6" Giant screen had tv had the Cross town game on, Cubs vs Sox. Today is the 17th anniversary of losing you and unfortunately two CPD Officers were shot last night. Female officer died last night and her partner is fighting for his life. Welcome her home and let her visit her family in their dreams to let them know she is ok. Continue to keep watch over the family for me. We think of you every day. Love Dad

Love,
Dad

Officer Gordon, thinking of you and your family today and always, it is so difficult to believe that so many years have passed, and to think that 17 years ago your mom and dad thought they wouldn't make it through this terrible day. Time does not heal our broken hearts nor does it ever mean we will forget. Continue to watch over your family, friends and the coworkers who continue to patrol the streets of Chicago. You sir, will never be forgotten.

Five years ago today we lost Gram Puf, I hope she is with you and your other Gram who fussed over you when you were little. Your brother is still telling everyone the story how the door opened in Gram Gordon's car and you fell out and he hung on to you and got you back into the car. How I wish you were here to have seen your two boys graduate College. It will be 17 years in August that we lost you but at times it seems like my life without you here has stalled. Everyday there are reminders of you and you will never be forgotten. Continue to keep watch over the family for me. Love and miss you. Dad

Love,
Dad

Hey dad. I don't know what to put down, but it's been 17 whole years without you. I'm a big kid now, going to see if I can get into art school. Been told I look like you a lot. I'm not gonna be sad about it, though-- I know you're watching over me. I'll try to smirk through photos like you do, haha. Love, one'a your kiddos.

Mike, Another Xmas has come and gone and we miss you terriby but your family has kept your memory alive. Xmas Eve the family gathered, including your two sons, and I thought of how much you have missed. Malik graduated from DePaul this past June and Cullen will graduate from Oklahoma University next year. Things changed when we lost you but we went on to make sure you were not forgotten.

Love forever, Mom

Mike today Heaven gained another Angel, she fought to the very end it took everything I had left to tell her it was okay to go that she could rest now. I’ve lost the two people I loved most in this world. Please show her the ropes up there.

There are no Good-Byes only Love

Mike,
Another holiday season is upon us, for me it’s only a reminder that you are not here to celebrate with your family.. No matter how many years pass the hurt stays the same.. You are forever loved and missed.
There are no Good-Byes only Love...

Think of you every day. I wish I could have changed places with you 16 years ago so that you could have been with your children. Please keep watch over all of them, plus your two brothers and your Mother. Our lives were all changed when we lost you. Miss you every day.
