Hey Pretty Lady, not a day goes by that I don't think about you or talk about you to someone. Vern and I were just talking about the "Skeletor" sticker you put on his cruiser name tag all those years ago, and how precious it is to him. I still have a box of bullets that you gave me when you were cleaning out your locker before you left Reston. I look at your old locker and still can't believe that you're gone. But now I truly know that you are in a better place and that you are at peace. May God bless and keep you. You will forever be in our hearts and serve as a reminder to not take life for granted. Rest in peace. Missy

I think about you all the time. We put up the tree and came across all the decorations you have made for us over the years.It took my breath away.We decorated the outside of the house in blue lights in your honor.You can see the blue glow from a mile away. The kids are excited about Santa coming.Wish you were here.

Vicky,
Today several of us witnessed Brian Kennedy being sentenced for his role in the worst crime in Fairfax County history. While we can could never be satisfied with a sentence on the man that could have stopped this whole tragedy, at least he is sentenced to prison and we can finally move on as best possible. Many of us will never be the same, but all are better for having been friends with you.
Untill we cross paths again, take care my sister.

Hey Aunt Vicky!

So I'm sitting in my dorm room and I looked up and saw the picture of me, you, and uncle tyler at the open house at the Reston Police station I think. That was taken when I was 8!

Vicki,

I have been wanting to come here for such a long time to leave a message. The day you left us I was boarding a plane to leave the Country and was simply devastated. I always looked forward to seeing you in my Courtroom so we could share stories about our kids and catch up with eachother. You always brought a smile to my face. It's still hard to believe you left us the way you did. Last week Janice was taken from us and as I was sitting at her service I was thinking about you and then I started thinking about Joyce and how she left us seven years ago. So maybe the three of you Blessed Peacemakers in Heaven are smiling down on the rest of us. God Bless

Hey Vicky,
We just had a huge benefit for the Police Unity Tour and it was a huge success. I had to go up on stage and speak. I could think of nothing but you and last year's ceremonies. It has been hard to choose an officer to ride for this coming up year because I don't feel the connection like I did with you. I think of your family and friends often. I told everyone your story, so that it is not forgotten. It still breaks my heart that you are not here in person, but I know your spiritual presence is everywhere. Your story has changed countless lives, including mine.

My sister in Christ, Det. Armel,

It's been over a year but every time I pass by the police station off Stonecroft during my commute to and from work, I remember how you made the ultimate sacrifice. I pray for your family and that through our Lord, Jesus Christ, all will reunite with you in Heaven.

”I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
---Isaiah 6:8

You answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy in God's kingdom.

We joined the dept together, went to the academy together, served on the same squad together , B squad.

We trained together; I was at your wedding and saw how happy you were
that day. You had allot of love in your heart for people kids.

It breaks my heart your gone, I pray every night for your kids and that Tyler can take care of them without you there.

I know your looking down on us, don't worry your kids will be fine and well and live great lives.

God bless you and your family always

As I sit here and think about the overwhelming loss of such a hero, I wonder if it is possible that such wonderful people can exist in the same world as such horrible ones. As an aspiring law enforcement officer, I know that when I need help or am confused or lost, I can just look up...and you'll have my back, and cover my six, just like you did for a fellow officer the day you died. In all the world, in every culture, there is only one word that means the exact same thing no matter what language you speak or god you worship: hero.
