Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Well Hon, the nightmare of the trial is finally (almost) over! GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY, and GUILTY!!!! All 5 counts!!! Praise the lord!! Thank god and thank you!!! Justice did (for once) prevail!!! You didn't die for nothing and you didn't die in vain!! Anything after guilty of 1st degree will be icing on the cake. I would love for him to be sentenced to death but I know how hard it is to get that. So, we will see!! Jared and I will take the stand tomorrow and attempt to explain what an impact this has had on our lives. How does one possibly put into words what the past 2 years has been like without you?? We will try our best, for you!! Please give me, and especially Jared, the strength to do this. I know how nervous I am, so I can't even imagine what it is going to be like for him! I feel so bad that our 14 year old son is going to get on that stand and tell what his life has been like without you! It infuriates me that he is even in this position! Damn CR! Well, he got his, and hopefully he will get even more! He has shown no remorse for what he did to you - none!! I take comfort in that one day he will have to answer to a higher power for all the terrible things he has done and then he will rot in hell for eternity! Until next time . . . You will always and forever be in my heart!!! Miss you like crazy!!

Love forever,

Trish

Well, most of this horrible nightmare is almost finally over. Justice has prevailed. I hope that things will start getting easier for us, but I doubt it. I just want to thank all your brothers, sisters, family and lots, and lots and lots of friends who came to the court house and showed their support. It just goes to show how many people's lives you have touched. Like I said before, I have never known nor will I ever know anyone who knew as many people as you did in all walks of life. You truly were a unique wonderful person

We miss and love you.

Hey Scott

Well it took two years but justice has finally prevailed - now we can only hope that he has to pay the ultimate price for your ultimate sacrifice - Im keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks for the great weather for the ride, it was perfect...except for my butt killing me by the end, since Scott and I dont get to ride much since he hurt his back. Actually, he isnt supposed to ride at all anymore , but he knew how important this was to me (and to him too), so we had to do it. I got to see Chad and Shelly and thats always really nice. Shelly and I were joking that everyone was walking bowlegged by the time we got to Beverly Hills. Scott and I are thinking of you and your entire family during this time and we are hoping for the final decision that is justly deserved. Keep shining down on everyone and help them get through this difficult time and hopefully there will be some peace and closure that comes out of all of this.

Miss you

Scott, I was so happy to hear the verdict today and couldn't help but think of you. You and your family finally got some justice. I know it can't bring you back but maybe now you and your family can rest a little easier. God Bless.

I cried today when the verdict came in not bec I was sad but to know its final and true you aren't coming back to us. And I know deep in my heart you weren't ever going to but until now until the words GUILTY were spoken I had hope that this was all just a nightmare!!!!!


We love you Scott... forever in our hearts!!!! nothing can take that away

Love you

WHAT'S UP WERTZI...LOL!
WELL, STEP ONE IS OVER! NEXT WEEK IS THE BIG WEEK AND WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR THAT BIG WORD TO COME FROM THE JURORS MOUTH.
I don't know if you have any idea how hard it is to stand there and watch your wife and children go through all of this. I prayed all day today while standing there that the jurors would come back with the verdict before the weekend so your family wouldn't have to sit and think about what is going to happen for the next two days.
I finally met your father yesterday, and he is the nicest guy. Now i know where you got your personality from...lol. He told me he lost his wedding band and i actually spent about a half hour on knees after everyone left the courtroom looking for it, but i didn't find it. I feel so bad for that. But i'm sure you'll make up for that for him.
Well, i just hope everyone in your family realizes that we don't wanna be there next to this loser and somewhat having to treat him half decent. All i want to do is throw him down the elevator shaft...lol. But, at this point i believe justice WILL prevail and everyone will have some part of comfort in knowing he will be paying for what he did for the rest of eternity. He truly took an angel of this earth when he took you Wertzi. You were always fair to everyone you came across, and that is so hard to find now on that force since you are gone. You wre definetly a role model for everyone and you are sorely missed buddy.
Well, i'll talk to you later. And i pray for your family to have all the peace in the world.

Chalk one up for the good guys. Today was a victory in the conviction of a no-good person who should not walk the streets. Whether he gets life in prison or the death penalty, he will not hurt anyone else in the City of Reading--police officer or otherwise.

Scott, I will spend the rest of the evening smiling because of this news. Trish, I'm sorry I could not be there with you today but am glad you made it through. It's another hurdle in this very long process and you got over it.

And to the officers in Reading and elsewhere, keep doing what you're doing and continue to get these scumbags off the streets. They've hurt too many people and I don't want to see them hurt more police officers. I'm proud of you and the effort you put into your job. God bless and keep you all.

It's finally over!!! I won't sit here and say that "I understand what your family is going thru" because I have absolutely no clue. All I know is justice was served today!!!!!! You have no idea how happy I was to see the headline. It's been 2 years since you were taken from us and your family can finally be at ease a bit. Today was a great day!!!!

Well, the moment will soon be here for the jury to decide the fate of CR. I'm so sorry I was away when the trial started but I'm glad it didn't carry on into next week. One week of torment is enough for your family and friends. I pray our justice system comes through and gets another violent person off the streets of Reading.

God Bless.

Hey Scott...well, two years have come and gone and you are missed every second that ticks! I had the pleasure of meeting Trish yesterday, she is so strong during this difficult week..she was probably stronger than I was today listening to everything!

Trish...again, it was an honor finally meeting you and I most definitely hope justice prevails. Please give my love to Jared and Josh and the rest of your family during this emotional rollercoaster. You are all in my prayers.

Good evening #2 son

I just can't believe it is two long years since you were taken from us. It seems like it was just yesterday. It is not easy to sit in the court room listening to your brothers and sisters explaining what happeneed that fateful night. I know it must be horrible for them to have to relive that night over and over. They have all done such a wonderful job, and you would, as we are very, very proud of them. I only hope that justice prevails.

I sure do miss some of our phone calls. Right now I would love to just tell some people what I think of them, but I can only talk to you and tell you how I feel in my prayers. It is just not the same. Some days it is really hard, and makes me sick to my stomach.

Trish and the boys are doing a good job trying to get through this ordeal. It is not easy for them and I know you are with them as you always were there protecting them.

Thank you again for being with us and giving us strength.

Love and miss you

Scott,
It's 2 years since you were taken from your family and the entire RPD. We all miss your smiling face and funny jokes. We will never forget what a great person you were. Now all that we need is for the jerk to be but to DEATH. We will all still carry a piece of you with us no matter what happens but it would help alot knowing that $@#$$& isn't able to see his family and friends ever again.

Trish and Family,
Thinking of everyone of you this week hopeing you get the justice you deserve and feeling so sad that you have to relive that tragic night over again and again. I am praying that the jerk gets DEATH.

Trish, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. I find it hard to let my husband put on that uniform and walk out that door every time I think of you and your family. Just know that Scott, you and your family are always being thought of and prayed for. Scott, please help keep your brothers safe and bring they all home to their families!

2 years today Hon. It feels like an eternity!!! I can only hope and pray to god that justice will prevail and you didn't die in vain. Monday and Tuesday were so hard. To sit and listen to your last moments of life and wonder if you were in pain and what you were thinking, among many other things. To also have to sit there and have our children listen to people describe that night almost killed me. Please continue to give me the strength to get through this and stay sane. I want so bad to stand up and just scream and kill somebody. It hurts so bad. It is like reliving it all over again. I miss you terribly. We miss you terribly. I want so bad to just see your face and hear your voice again!!! The next time I write, I hope I'm writing to thank you and the big guy upstairs for making sure justice prevailed!! Because if it doesn't, I don't know what I will do!!! You are always and forever in my heart!!! I love you!!

Love forever,

Trish

Two years of pain. Two years of missing my best friend and two years of waiting for justice!There is one word I wanna hear from this trial and that is DEATH!I was out last night and had a drink for you (why lie I had alot of drinks for you!)and then today I was listening to the radio and that song "Ordinary World" came on and I remembered you playing that song over and over while we were on vacation down here with the top down on the rent a car that was stolen the next day. I miss you every day bro. I'll see you again some day.
