Owen,
I met someone who knew you. It was during National Night Out in August and she spoke very highly of you. I don't recall her name but she had mentioned that she was a retired Flint-area teacher. When I responded by telling her that I was from Flint, we eventually got to talking about you.
I remember when your accident happened. We wore mourning bands around our badges. Although I never knew you personally, every police officer mourns the passing of one of our own. In your death, I am made to remember that the word "routine" doesn't exist in our job.
Rest in peace and may God bless you and your family.

Just had dinner with mom and dad tonight--wish you were there. It's still strange to not have you around--something I definitely don't want to get used to. I have a long drive tomorrow for work, so I'll talk to you about it then. Love and miss you.

Brother Owen-
Hey remember that litte war that the terrorist started on 9-11 and how much it upset all of us? I know we seem to forget the tears as time goes on, well the Army took me away for a year. Story for you. Had a kid break his ankle in ground fighting saturday and It was like in a blink I saw you on the mat rolling around on your back holding your knee...(your cried too, I'll never tell...) and DS Bianco yelled at you "You just gonna lie there!" yes...you over-reacted. Well, this kid saturday didn't say a peep and his damn bone was broken... I think you must have slipped into his body just to give me pay back for yelling....Anyways....thought that was a bit sneaky of you to follow me to Ft. Benning. Thankyou!

Army Strong!

Its starting to smell like fall. I don't think anything in the world could remind me of you more than that. There's just something about the chill in the air and the smell of outside that makes me feel your presence a little more strongly than usual. I miss you so much.

Loving you always,

hey O,

i have been thinking about you alot lately and i dont know why. its not a bad thing its actually calming to think about you, cuz i know i have someone watching down on me and protecting, i know we all miss you so much and its hard to do the things we did without you or uncle rays (grandpa)'s presence but you are still with us all, you show in all of us in little way. I am visiting my boyfriend in college at akron and we were walking around and he told me one of the buildings names, Owen, everytime i here your name i get this silencing feeling over my body and i cant explain it, i hope that when i get some time off for work i can come see you and the family in flint. it will be nice and hard at the same time. the other day was grandpas anniversary and a few days before i had gone alone after work, while walking in a butterfly flew past me and i looked around and i saw a couple more. it made me think of you it was nice. i felt like it was you and grandpa showing us your still here but in different ways. well i guess they are done playing video games and im done crying, for now... i hope your doing well up there with gramps, keep a look out for us.... i love you owen fisher. :)

Heading off to my Siblings retreat later today. It's comforting to talk about you so openly at the lodge without that feeling of making others uncomfortable. I'll be thinking about you much this weekend--watch over me, please (especially the flight!). Love you.

Hey Owen,

I was just talking about you today to some friends. They heard your name but had never met you. I filled in some spaces for them. One of my friends asked that we not talk about you because it was depressing. I thought so to at first and realized that I enjoy talking about you. You were so great to me and I was able to tell them stories about you that I would never repeat on here. :-) I miss you but I know that you are still here with us all. I proudly wear my "Heroes Live Forever" bracelet every day. I can't look at it without reminding me of you. I miss you so much and I enjoy telling people about how great you are.

Hi O,
Your sister is filled with excitement and joy about her new job, but like all of us it wouldn't hurt to have you look after her. Guard her kindly.
Still missing you,

I've wondered the last week-and-a-half about how to mention to you the happiest wake-up I ever had. While we were at Notre Dame, I was filled with the memory of that morning at 5:00 when I woke up to "Daddy, a carnidal, a carnidal!" It was just a reminder of the sweetness that is you. As usual, your mum and I wept and laughed as we remembered you at Notre Dame that magical summer.
We're missing your magic.
Love,
Dad

Hey--I've been thinking about you often. It's the clear summer days when I look into the clouds that flood my mind with thoughts of you. Whenever I see a cluster of clouds with a little slice of blue, I always imaging you looking after us through that open space. Anyways, I love you and miss you and love you and miss you.

Hi Sweetheart

This last month has been a flood of memories, great stories and kind words. You have certainly not been forgotten. The stories will keep you from getting too big a head - a good thing. The days surrounding the 16th are days that have their sad moments and some very big laughs. I know you are watching and listening to all of us. The fun part is you have no chance for rebuttal!

We've had plenty of opportunities to see your old friends and families. We feel lucky to still be a part of their lives as they were so important to you. We also enjoyed the guys including us in remembering you. You are certainly not forgotten! It was a way for us to appreciate what you were doing and what they continue to do.

All things family have also been on our minds. We are thankful we were able to do so many things together. We were in Chicago and remembered your sister's birthday and visiting the Field Museum and you both climbing into the giant chairs of the "how children see the world" exhibit. We stopped at Notre Dame and thought of you kids with "Miss Hannigan" and the dead animal tours. That was a very special summer. What struck me is the things we enjoyed doing together are the things that we all continue to do.

Just wanted to let you know I miss you and love you.

Love,

Mom

Hey Owen...I've always read these, but never posted anything. Just spent the past couple days with your parents, Katie, and Amy. I always leave those types of meeting wishing I had known you better. But other times it's pretty entertaining and I feel like I did know you very well. I think you especially would've liked our discussion on wedding cake last night.

I'm looking out for your sister, even though it never feels like I can do enough. But she's such a strong person that sometimes she doesn't let on that she misses you as much as she does. I'll keep trying. I find myself wishing you were around when I get stuck in a make-up conversation or something about shoes w/Amy and Katie. The 'how about that Tiger game' just doesn't seem to fly! The picture that's been painted for me of you is an outstanding one for sure. Keep watching out for everyone...

My thoughts are with your loved ones on this 2nd anniversary of you being called away from duty. I know the daily struggle your parents face and how they miss the sound of your voice and that special laugh and the warmness of your touch. All any of us can do is take one day at a time as our lives have been changed forever. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and let them feel your presence so they know you are close. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

We lit the Jahrzeit candle again this year. It will burn twenty-four hours while remember you this day. Scotty, one of my former students, taught us this custom and has brought us a candle for each of the last two years. But believe that we remember you daily and love and miss you.
Love,

Owen, it has been 2 years since you were taken away. You are still remembered and missed by both those who knew you and those who didn't. Rest easy, Brother; I am honored to leave a reflection for you.
