Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

We'd be doing something fun today but wouldn't match the pleasures of heaven I'm sure!

These past several years have been a tremendous struggle. The load certainly would have been different with you by my side, my confidant, my protector, my lover, my man...Part of me is relieved you have been sparred so much pain on this earth. Evidently, the good Lord thought you had accomplished His purpose for you in your short 37 years of life.
I do look forward to our "Reunion Day" !!

Song of Solomon 8:6 "Set upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death..."

Yours forever

Your loving wife,

It’s been , I’m not exactly sure how many years since I’ve been here , but I think about you often .
The last 11 have been a struggle but the last 6 have been the hardest and getting harder but you always had something to say to cheer me up , make me laugh or shake my head and sometimes all of the above .
I try not to think about “ that day “ but I can’t help it and I miss that I can’t stop by to chat like I used to but I’m sure it’s ok with you .
Just know I hold you in my heart and miss you every day !!

We picture death as coming to destroy, let us rather picture Christ as coming to save. We think of death as ending, let us rather think of life as beginning and more abundantly. We think of parting let us think of meeting. We think of going away, let us think of arriving. And as the voice of death whispers you must go from earth "Let us hear the voice of Christ saying, you are but coming to me.'

I went down a rabbit hole on the internet and ended up on this page. As I scrolled through the pages upon pages of loving comments, I knew I had to leave a message. Although I was quite young when it happened, I have a picture-perfect memory of when you and Brigitte asked me to be your flower girl. Although that is the only memory of you I have, I have been told stories that have created a better image of who you were to my family. (Also...apparently I was the slowest flower girl on earth... coincidentally, I am quite a fast walker now.) You were an amazing friend to my dad. You were there for my parents when they were dealing with the worst, a sick daughter. I want to say thank you for being there for them. They needed people to get them through the hardship, and my mom always mentions you and Brigette as two of the people who were always there. On the anniversary of your death, I try and honor you the best I can, by looking at those wedding pictures and recognizing your sacrifice for the profession you loved. You were an amazing police officer and no one has forgotten that, especially not my family.

I found this site today just after hearing of the tragic loss of another selfless AZ officer within the last 24 hours. Hearing of this even brought my heart and mind immediately to officer Targosz.

Unfortunatley, I never had the chance to meet officer Targosz although, my dear friend was his late aunt Gina whom went to be with the Lord in Nov 18.


The first picture you would see when entering Gina's family room was a picture of officer Targosz. There were multiple occasions in which Gina and her son shared the highest regard and praises for officer Targosz with me. It was obvious that officer Targosz was an extraordinary person and the Love for him was ever so apparent in her household. I can only imagine how many lives officer Targoaz positivley impacted in his lifetime!

GOD bless the Targosz family, and please know that my prayers as others are being lifted up.

I remember late April, 2006. We had an old Oldsmobile the turn signals were broken. Me and my young daughter were stopped in downtown Gilbert by a Gilbert motorcycle police officer. I will never forget before we drove away from him, he said, always remember your hand signals. That officer was Robert Daniel Targosz.

I never knew you, but my father was a friend of yours. I was in 6th grade when my family attended your funeral. I still remember watching your wife at the front of the church surrounded by officers, reminiscing about the specific way that you would present the one finger salute. I can still see the front of that room so clearly to this day. Devastated, but relieved by your memory at the same time.

I can only envy those who knew you, but at least I can be one of the many people to remember you.

Rob & Brigitte,

Just dropping a note to let you both know though I rarely post, my thoughts are often drawn to the example Rob set for me as a young officer. My accomplishments in my career are rooted in how Rob conducted himself as a person. I love telling new officers about my (limited) experiences working with Rob. Most of all, I love the fact that my limited time with Rob has made such a huge impact on my now 16 year career.

Love always,

Sweetheart,
I don't know why God took you from us 12 years ago. HE does. I know that you were a man of God and your life no matter how brief on earth fulfilled His purpose entirely. I take comfort in that...
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28.

Rob,

This Sunday will mark eleven years since you were taken away from us, and I've missed you each and every one of them. Despite what people say, it doesn't get any easier with time, the hurt and anger is still there. The hurt from missing you and the anger from the way you were taken from us. I, we, will never forgot you. Thank you Rob for all that you gave to all of us that knew you.

Sweetheart,
2015 has been a horrific year. The only good thing about it is that it's over and I'm one year closer to joining you, gramma, and now dad. I know you guys are safe and nothing or no one can ever bring you pain and suffering again!

Yours forever

Sweetheart,
It's been a rough year...and it doesn't look to get better. Christmas is bittersweet. It always makes me miss you and my gramma even more. It also makes me remember to be thankful and look for those precious little blessings in life that are easily overlooked.

2 Corinthians 12:10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Merry Christmas.
Your loving wife,

Brigitte

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, or where a doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, and who comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause. The man who at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who never knew victory or defeat."

---Teddy Roosevelt

I love you Uncle Robbie!
