Hey Baby,

The charge of evading arrest or detention in the State of Texas is now a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense and a State jail felony on the second conviction. I had a lot of good people help me for a long time and the Governor signed it into law. Many do not know that the coward you chased that night had six previous arrest for evading. The revolving door of justice just slowed down a little.
Miss you, Love you, the baby is fine.

Mr. Donovan,
I want to remind you that all over the country their are police officers who know about your wife and all the others that lose their life. They are all remembered. Don't ever think they are forgotten. I can not imagine what you have gone through over the years. I read your notes to your wife and it makes me be a better husband to my wife. Thank You. "Blessed are the Peacemakers; For they shall be called Sons of God. Mathew 5:9

Terry and family,

As I approach my 5th month as a deputy, there are still many things that I do not know, or things that I am unsure of. But what I do know, is thay everyday I put my uniform with pride, and I thank god every night when I make it home from the end of my shift. Amy paid the ultmate sacrifice, in which she will never be forgotten, only remembered for her bravery. It takes a special person to do this job, and I am sure Amy was a very special person. Terry, an academy instructor told me this when times got tough, "no matter how tough times get just remember that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and along that ride things don't always happen the way you would think or want, but keep faith and keep trying your hardest and you will see in the end it will all be worth it."

Officer Donovan served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who knew her. It is a tragedy to lose her. We never know when our lives on this earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, Officer Donovan. My heart goes out to your
loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can.

Something about this year was different. I couldn't tell you what but there was something. I don't if it was that Chase pointed to the sky last night while we were carving pumpkin's and said looks it's Mommy's star, or if it was that last night I did exactly what I did 4 years ago...put Chase to sleep. He didn't want me to leave until he had gone to bed. It was bittersweet and I couldn't help but think that at that exact moment you were with us. I miss you so much and I wish more than anything that Halloween was just that, Halloween. I wish I didn't have to think of our lives in terms of before and after we lost you, but I do. The night that you went to Heaven you took a piece of all of us with you, and our lives are never going to be the same. I try my best to live my life in a way that would make you proud. I once said that you inspired me to do great things, and to this day you still do. You are always with me in my heart and I will never stop missing or loving you. Thank you for everything that you have done and continue to do. I love you!
