Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Brandy Lyn Winfield

Sara, we really miss hearing about how you and the boys are
doing =) We pray for you and those little guys all the time!! I know you had written that you were going to stop writing hear because its not good for the healing process to be caught up in the past so I do respect that but wanted you to know that we really miss your reflections!! God bless you and know that we do care about you and pray for you always!!

Hi ole buddy! I miss talking to you so much!!! You are thought of often in my house. We all still wear our pins,and bracelets which always makes me smile just to look at your name. Things have changed so much in the last couple of years,wow. One thing that I know is that you would have never changed. You would have always been the same great friend no matter what. I miss you and miss your voice and knowing that you were always there. You are always in my heart and always will be. Thanks, for being that man that you were. I love you and miss you!!

A Good Friend

Just wanted to stop by and to let you know I still think about you every day. I have your picture in my office and I look at it often. I won't put it away because I don't want anyone else to forget either. I have finally been able to open up that I've never really gotten over this tragedy. I'm sure there are others that feel the way I do, but we all have our own way of coping. I will carry your smile in my heart forever.
Until next time a friend......

"The Undefended Victim"

(By an Unknown Author)

For me, no gavel, hammers
The Scales were never weighted.
My Crime was that of a victim,
My life, was the price I paid.

And when my life was taken,
Why weren't my rights read?
And the Statement, "overruled"
When they pronounced me dead?

I'll never hear my rights
Nor take the witness stand,
No attorney to defend me,
My fate was in a killer's hand.

Now the courtroom's crowded
As the defendant pleads the case.
With just the glimmer of a tear,
Cold eyes on a straight face.

But oh, that I could take the stand
If they could witness my last breath,
Could they live with the terror
That I went through in death.

If they could hear my pleading cries
And see the hatred in that face,
At last, we'd know, the scales had
"Been balanced" in this case.

If I could, I'd tell the judge
Exactly how it was,
The fear and pain that I went through
Struck down without a cause.

Did the judge carefully weigh it all
As they listened to the plea?
There were no emotions, howing now,
Just the hope of going free.

The final verdict now is in
As the defendant stands in tears
If only I had done as well.....
Given ten to twenty years.

Brandy
Another year has passed without you and still miss you more than ever. We were reflecting back these last few days and many memories have been discussed. How about the Christmas we went to the movies to see the Titanic cause Sara had to work and you guys laughed so hard when the ship was going down and I was crying my eyes out!! We watched Kingpin last night and talked about when Mike said goodbye to the girls and said the same thing that was in the end of the movie to the girls and you and Rick laughed so hard. Thank God for all the memories and they were great ones at that. Boys had a good Christmas and they are so sweet. All of them were so cute. Think this will probably be the last year Landon will want me to give him his Christmas eve bath. He is getting older and will probably be too old to think that is cool after this year. Logan and Ty still like it though. Love and miss you Mama J

Merry Christams Brandy.
Rick and Shirley, you will be in my prayers, as always.
If I could make a Christmas wish come true, it would be to bring Brandy back for all of you.

December 24, 2006

Hey Bran, just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you during the holiday season. I can't believe that this will be the third Christmas your family and friends have not had you around to celebrate. My thoughts and prayers are with them. Think about you all the time....

I went to visit you today. When I got there, your tree was laying on its side. I tried to put it back up as best as I could. You are still missed dearly. I hope your family knows if they need anything, they can just contact us.

Bran - Hey, will be up tomorrow with a tree decorated with blue bulbs and of course Dale Jarrett ornaments - thought this might be the last year I will be able to get them as you knew them -88 UPS car. The cemetary people will probably get mad but I'm gonna make sure you have a tree this Christmas, I don't care how mad they get. The kids are all raring and ready for x-mas. We had x-mas with Dad last night and all 4 of them were tearing through paper like crazy. It was over in like 2 minutes. They cannot wait to go to Mom's for x-mas eve. Landon kept asking me if on the way home he would be able to see Santa flying in the sky. That was last weekend on the way home from the Blue Light, I told him that Santa might be taking the reindeer for a test drive but that would only be close to the North Pole so we wouldn't see him, but that on Christmas Eve on the way home from Mama's he might be able to see Rudolph's nose up in the sky so when he got home he better go straight to bed so Santa can come. I know you will be watching their excitment in the days to come, enjoy it, it will only last a little while right? Well I'll see you tomorrow night when me and the kids bring up the tree. Will be thinking of you all weekend long, have a Merry Christmas in Heaven.

Love, Mis

Sara,
You are doing such an amazing job with the boys. I know things are not always easy for you but I know no matter what you do, Brandy is always guiding you and only wants happiness for you and the boys.
I know how hard this is for Brandy's family- everyone. Brandy is not forgotten by anyone for one day. I pray that God blesses and guides all of you and you feel Brandy's touch.
