Hey Boss,
It was just the other day I went by your memorial. I think it has come to a time where law enforcement just does not see its benefits anymore. It seems like in Roane County you can kill an officer and claim self-defense cause the officer was doing his job in trying to take the criminals to jail. I was just talking to one of our friends the other day who has gotten out of law enforcement and thinking of getting back in and his comment was that he would not come back to Roane County to be the police because he would not work for an area that would allow a cop killer to walk the streets. I hate to say it, but that is true. Hopefully the jury will wake up and this next trial. I will always be thinking of you and the times all of us had with you.
Stay Youself Bill

Hi bam, i just left a note for Matt and had to stop here, As you know there are not many "old timers" left out here these days, as i think of the lessons that you have to share with the young guys i can't forget your commitment to going home at the end of the day, that is what i try to live by and teach to others. You may be gone from this earth but your memory lives in the hearts of alot of us! I still cry like a baby when i visit here.To bill's family please know that we will always love you!

Your friend,
Mark

"The strands in your eyes, That color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath, Emeralds from mountains
Thrust towards the sky, Never revealing their depth

I'll be your cryin' shoulder, I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
The greatest fan of your life….”
Thank you.

I never knew you but heard of your case just yesterday.
My cousin was beaten and shot to death in the line of duty.
I CANNOT imagine someone doing this to a police officer and getting away with it.
You and so many officers are out there putting their life on the line day after day and not being respected for it.
I want you to know that I love you and ALL law enforcement officers out there, I would love to be a police officer, I have wanted to be one my whole life.
I hope and pray that there will be justice for you and your loving family soon.
You rest in peace.

With love and care,
Someone who loves cops

My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.

Another year almost over and a new one round the bend. Still you are missed and near to my heart. My love is stronger the longer we're apart. Happy New Year . . . forever and ever. As every New Year now is memories of you and what was and what may have been if you here. Watch over your lambs as they need you now more then ever before.

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones during this holiday season. Each day is a challenge for them, ever more so this time of the year. I have decorated the outside of my home in all blue lights and one of those lights burns brightly in your honor. You have not been forgotten.

Gone But Never Forgotten

The years we've shared have been full of joy.

The memories we've made will go on and on.

I haven't stopped crying since you went away.

I've asked GOD time and time again, why couldn't you stay?

You lit up my life, my hopes, and my dreams.

You've opened my eyes to see what life really means.

So now that you're gone, how can I forget?

Because you were the greatest out of all that I have had ever met.

All I know is that you've always had my back.

I love you BAMBAM........
You're heart is with us Bam and all our hearts are with you. R.I.P. The greatest HERO that has ever lived.....
Love you Bam from the whole family
