Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

When you died my son was still 4 months away from being born. Next Friday he will graduate from high school. Time passes and the memories don't fade but the pain becomes less sharp and more of a dull ache that never quite goes away. I was a young sergeant that day, not yet 30 years old myself. Now I have officers who have 5 less years on the planet than I have on the Job. Time passes but it doesn't always fly.

As I am sure you are aware more of our co-workers have joined you in the past year. Eric and Oscar left us far too early in the fall and winter of last year and their loss is gravely felt as well by all of our co-workers and friends. Look after them as they get adjusted to the Kingdom of Heaven for they too were men of faith and courage.

Time has yet to ease the pain of that sorrowful day. I still wear the pin which I received from your mom and remember how short time is for us all.
Our friendship was cut short .Brian I can never forget you.Rest well A-14

I've had one bad day in this career and that day was 16 years ago. Time doesn't heal all wounds it just teaches us how to understand the events in a different light.

Sixteen years ago our profession was noble. A path of service. A path of honor. In the past few years that pathway has had mud thrown upon it. Stones kicked at the defender, lies spread about the honored.

It has been tough for many to see the way through the troubles but once again in the near future the field of law enforcement, or as I prefer to call it, public service, shall be seen to be the greatest of endeavors.

We as a society cannot exist without men such as you and I thank you, once again, for your service.

Brian, I purchased the motor from your cruiser and your spirit kept me safe while owning the vehicle and I believed you saved my life several times from several near misses, keeping me from losing control of the car and even delaying the fire that finally totaled the car. I never knew you while you were alive but your spirit did it's job and saved me to continue to live my life, and with that I say thank you.

May God bless you.

Eleven years. The more things change the more they stay the same. I see your brother often and parents a lot less than I'd like but busy lives for all of us make for easier days. My kids are growing like weeds and their joy and zest for sports and dance keeps me smiling, and I am sure you as well as you watch down on all of us. Never forgotten.

Brian, you should be here, excited about Christmas like always. I still expect to see our presents separated and stacked up by our places to open because you were unable to sleep. It's been 10 long years and I miss you so much!!!!

Dear Brian,

This day, September 30, 2015, marks ten years since God called you home. Please know that your family, your loved ones, your fellow officers, and your friends miss you. We will love you and will treaure your memory forever.

I would like to pay tribute to you by sharing a quote written by Tom Brokaw as he spoke of The Greatest Generation. He wrote, "They stayed true to their values of personal responsibility, duty, honor and faith." Although you were not old enough to belong to that generation, this quote describes how you lived every day of your earthly life. We are blessed that you came into our lives.

Please look over us from above. May God bless you.

Hello Brian,

Happy New Year! We are spending another holiday without you, but we know that you are in God's keeping in heaven. We love and miss you so much. We think about you on a constant basis and wish with all of our hearts that you were with us.

I came across the following quote in the 12-27-14 edition of THE FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER and thought about how these words apply to you. "Your song is over but your melody lingers forever in our hearts."

Thank you for the love you shared with and the joy you brought to your family and loved ones. Your memory is so precious to us, and we will cherish you forever.

We send our love, and ask that you look over us from above.

Brian, I have been told it gets easier. So far, it is just not true. Words to describe how I feel don't exist.

I Love you so much!

Hello my precious Brian. It's Father's Day and I sure wish you were here with us. You are in our hearts always. My life will never be the same without you.

We love and miss you so much.
