Thinking of you and all of your loved ones on this blessed holiday. I know today is a very tough day for all of them to get through and that you will be one of the topics of conversation at the dinner table as you are their hero and will never be forgotten. Thank you for your dedicated service to others and for being the hero that you are.

I look through the pages of ODMP from time to time whispering a prayer for those officers fallen and their families. I came across your picture tonight and your smile touched my heart. I know you were a blessing to those who knew you and you are a blessing to me now. Thank you for all that you have done to protect.

Hi Toya it's been a while, yes but you are never far from my heart. Just want you to know you and your family are still in my heart and prayers. The one thing that constantly moves as fast as speed and at times as slow as a cloud in the wind, yet you can't see it. Time where does it go. it seems like a lifetime has passed because so much has changed and yet it seems like yesterday when i think of the moment i had to say good-bye. Keep watchn over us to keep us safe. Miss you

Thinking of you and your family today as they attempt to get through this long an draining day. I know by tonight they will be emotionally drained, but their love for you carries on and will forever. Continue to watch over all of them and remember that you will never be forgotten because true heroes never die. You have not been forgotten.

The Final Inspection


The policeman stood and faced his God,which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true? The policeman squared his shoulders and said. "No, I guess I ain't because those of us who carry a badge can't always be a Saint."I've had to work most Sundays and at times my talk is rough, and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep...
though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help though at times I shook with fear, and sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand, I never expected or had too much, but if you don't...I'll understand" There was a silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quietly for the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman. You've borne you burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets. You've done your time in Hell"

SIGH.....I still struggle with the fact that you are not here with us. I re-live this day in mind over and over again! I try to make sense of it all but I just can't. I see your beautiful smile and wonderful personality all the time in Morgan. We had so many plans and they will never happen cause your life was cut short. It seems so unfair that Raven has had to grow up without a mother and I love your mom so much and I admire her strength and will to go on.
I love you and Miss you Toya!!!! <3

May 15th Law Enforcement Memorial Day

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones on the speical day and every day. Continue to watch over all of them. I leave this quote I came across for your Mom and I know she can relate to this:

"Do not judge the bereaved mother...She comes in many forms...She is breathing, but she is dying...She may look young, but inside she has become ancient...She smiles, but her heart sobs...She walks, she talks, she cooks, she cleans, she works, she IS, but she IS NOT, all at once ...She is here, but part of her is elsewhere for eternity."

I rejoiced for having you in my life, our choir was awesome, and Raven is happy high school is coming to an end. Thinking of you, Miss you so much. Coming up to seven years and it hurts like it just happened. Dione was with me yesterday so glad she was. See you in my dreams. Loving and Missing you always..............................MOM

It has been almost 7 years and it still seems like yesterday that were taken away from us. There were so many things that we planned to do, and it will never happen now. Morgan is five now and she is just a happy and bubbly as u were. She never has a bad day. I can remember when I got to work and it I was having a bad day, u always knew the right things to say to me to get me in a better mood. I really miss that. Your smile would make any situation better. I can still hear ur voice sometimes and I even stop and think about what u would say and do at times. I know u are at peace and in heaven with ur day...but gosh how I wish you were still here. You will forever ilve on in my and ur family's memory.
Forever ur sister, friend, and partner....
