Dear Mrs. Longobardo,

It takes a strong woman to be the wife of a soldier. I know.

It takes a strong woman to be the wife of someone involved in dangerous public service such as the wife of a firefighter, or someone in law enforcement. I know.

Of all those who lost Joe Longobardo, the loss is the greatest to you and your son. My heart and prayers go out to the both of you.

It is the weekend of 911's 5th anniversary. As it is now being reported many of those who were babies, and lost their daddy's that day, talk to their Daddy's in their hearts. May your son also be given this gift.

Trooper, You gave to this nation at war, and you gave your all to this state. You know the perp has been apprehended and now prayers are being said for your death not to have been in vain; that some good come out of the ashes of your untimely death.

As is their duty, your brothers will watch over those you loved and had to leave behind.

I'm sure the Lord saw you and said, "Well done."
Rest in Peace.

Trooper Longobardo,
I am so greatful that the monster that stole you from your family was captured last night...I will continue to pray for your partner, that he may fully recover from his injuries, both physically and emotionally.

On behalf of the Sterling Heights Police Dept, please accept our heartfelt sympathies. Know that you are not alone in your grief. We too experienced this loss just over 2 years ago when our officer was taken from us. Ambushed for his handgun. The US Marshals & 'America's Most Wanted' both played key rolls in our suspects "capture" as well.

To Mrs Longobardo,
No words can ease your pain...this shouldn't have happened to you or your son. Our officer also left behind a wife and a 1 year old daughter. I hope it comforts you to know that she (to this very day) see's her daddy and hears him talking to her. There is something to be said about a child's innocense. Joseph will visit your son in his dreams, and he too will hear his voice and feel his presence.

God Bless you, your son and the entire New York State PD. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Though we are seperated by miles, we are bound by this Thin Blue Line!

Rest in Peace Now HERO...
