My Love,

Two years ago today we pledged our love in front of our families and friends. It will always be the happiest day of my life. Your smile was so luminous that day and I will never forget the way you looked at me. I love you my angel. Please continue to keep watch over all of us. I will see you again.

Well bro...I want you to know that I miss you. Paid you a visit today w/Alexis. I don't think I can ever get used to the fact that I am visiting your gravesite. When you left you were so full of life. I miss that so much Jerry. Your smile...your laugh...everything about you bro. I love you and will miss you always. Please watch over Chela today. I know today is going to be a real hard day for her, as it is painful for myself. Two years ago I saw that huge smile on your face...what a beautiful wedding it was. I was so happy for you bro. I love you bro.

I look at the photos in the newspaper of the scum that took you from us and I just want to set him on fire! He definitely does not deserve to live.

I love you

Jerry, I remember when you first entered the Sheriff's Academy. You were so full of life and had a deep desire to make a difference in this world. You truly made a difference and gave your life in the process, the ultimate sacrifice. May God's blessings infold you. Please pray for all of us.

Four years ago today we reconnected. Two years ago today you proposed.

What I would give to have you here with me right now ...

I miss you so much. So much. I went to the cemetery today and it's still so hard to read your name on the headstone.

You are my heart and I will love you forever.

Until we're together again ...

Jerry,

There are days when I just wanted to pick up the phone and call you and then I am reminded that you are no longer here with us.

I miss you. Please continue to watch over me, your friends and your family.

Jerry,

Its a new year, but I will never forget you. I had a blast on those Lynwood ride alongs as an Explorer. I remember one morning; You were at your desk at Lakewood when I ran into you. I had not seen you for over three years and you were surprised seeing me as a CSO. Anyhow, we talked and to this DAY, Im glad I was able to THANK YOU in person. Growing up in the corner pocket of Willowbrook, I didn't have alot of mentors.

Semper Fidelis to you Soldier.

Jerry, You are always on my mind and will always be in my heart. You are and always will be my best friend. The holidays will never be the same without you. You were the life of the party. As I sit here typing this reflection, I see your picture, your smile and still can't believe you are not here. I have been hurting so much for you Jerry it is so hard. The other day I was looking through some family videos and watching you in them and hearing your voice and your loud dorky laugh just gave me some comfort and actually made me smile, but the fact is you are not here and I miss you soooooooooo much. Keep a good eye on all of us Jerry as you always have. I love you big brother. Keep smiling xoxo forever your sister claud
