Reflections for Police Officer II Landon Michael Dorris

Well bro where do I start,
there isnt a day that I dont think about the times we went out to gether and did "Gods" work! You are always with me when I ever I ride out. Both Mac and I always bring up yor name and think what you might be saying as you guid us from your OP spot up in heaven. Its only a matter of time " tell we ride again. I think the guys in my unit know you by now because I always tell stories about how we would ride. The reason I have your number tattooed on my back is because you will never be forgotten!! You always watched my 6 and I will always have yours. I know one day we will meet again and you will have a shot of Jack waiting for me. The way I see it bro is that your not gone. I think your just on a long vacation and we will roll out when we meet up. kma......

Hi Honey.

I miss you so much. I am here with our boys watching Polar Express. They really like this movie. I can't believe it's been two years. You've been gone to long and it still feels like it was yesterday. We all miss you. Landon Jr talks about you every day. I love it when he does that, that means he remembers you very well. He is here with me writing this letter to you. He wants me to tell you that he love YOU! And Brendan wants you to take care of us. Aren't they CUTE! Brendan also misses you. He says " I want to play with Daddy". It's really hard Honey. People say that time will heal but in my case it hasn't. I love you and miss you more every day. I know you hear me every time. I also know you are with us guiding us.

Love you!

I woke up this morning thinking of your wife and two handsome boys...and thinking of you. Johnny misses you so much....I hear stories of the two of you and he imitates your voice so well. "Get off the couch Johnny, let's go buy motorcycles"!!! : ) You hold a very special place in my heart Landon. I know that your in the "car" everyday with John and I know that you are with Marisabel non-stop giving her the wisdom and strength for the boys. I know that you are with us in spirit, I feel it in my heart. Be with Marisabel today. Be comforting to her. Whisper love into her dreams. Think of John, one of those meetings today. ; ) Speak to him today. He needs to hear your voice. We love you Landon and we will meet someday in Heaven.

My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones and friends on this second anniversary of your EOW. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You will never be forgotten

P.O. Dorris served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who
knew him. It is a tragedy to lose him. We never know when our lives on this
earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a
place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life
(John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, P.O. Dorris. My heart goes out to your
loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can.

There are times as Christians when we lose a loved one
who also knew Jesus as Lord.
Death took them on to see the face of their King
and by faith they saw their final reward.
But we wrestle and struggle with the heaviness of grief
and the sorrow that their absence brings.
We wonder if it's normal to feel such a sadness
when they're whole and in the sight of the King.
But the truth of it is..our faith doesn't prevent us
from feeling pain, deep anguish or sorrow.
For we are still human & our hearts still break
when the loneliness wakes us tomorrow.
And our faith is not lessened if we succumb to the grief
but in fact, it can be deepened with time.
For the season of sorrow can teach us of God's comfort
and His wisdom of perfect design.
The grief that we feel can change us for the better
giving a tenderness that does tend to stay.
For whatever salve Jesus puts on our wounds
we learn from..and then give away.
The pain and the sorrow will lessen with time
and more joy will move into its place.
For the same God who welcomed our loved one to glory
wipes our tears and holds us with grace.

Hello Honey! Landon Jr, Brendan & I talk a lot about you. I know you are very proud of them as much as me. They are so funny! Landon is doing a great job of being the man of the house. He's really a smart boy. Brendan is more like me, very mellow. Brendan & Landon has your beautiful smile. I love to see them sleep because it's like I'm looking at you. They sleep just like you & Brendan snores like you, as loud as a bear. God truly Blessed us with our two boys. They really keep me going. I love you soooo much. Please keep watching over us. Tell God to guide me & to please give me wisdom.

We love you & miss you,

Happy 33rd Birthday!!!

Today our boys and I went to the cementary. Landon and Brendan were very excited that today was your birthday. They picked out a chocolate fudge cake, a bunch of ballons and beautiful flowers. We sang Happy birthday and said a little prayer just for you. We miss you so much. I know your Dad, Grandpa Lui and you probably did something special. Please keep watching over us and Honey, keep an extra eye on our kids.

We love you,

Hello Honey. I miss you so much. I wish you could be here with us. I still don't understand why God took you away from us. Our family had just started to grow and I remember how happy you were to have Landon Jr and Brendan. I remember how you would look at them with unconditional love. Now we are here without you and it's not the same. You were right, Landon Jr looks just like you. Every time I look at him it's like i'm looking at you. Brendan has your attitude. He's funny! Brendan thinks he's The Incredible Hulk. Marc and Jen came over one day and they witnessed his little performance. They couln't stop laughing. Even Landon Jr laughs at him.

We Love you!

I'll always love you and need you so much,
I love your warm smile, your soft, gentle touch...
No treasure on earth could ever compare.
I'll always love you far more than you know...
More deeply, completely as days come and go
I'll love you more dearly than words can impart
For I'll always love you with all of my heart.

Hello Honey, I've been thinking about you all day today. Remembering when you and I just met. It was one of the best days of my life. I was so happy! Now I just day dream about you. I don't think I will ever be happy without you. Our boys need you so much. Landon Jr is starting to like playing baseball. I bought him one of those metal bats so he could practice and the first thing he said was "I'm going to hit it hard like Daddy, so watch me". It's so amazing how much little Landon remembers you. Baby, I promise I will do my best to be the best Mom 'cause I know for a fact that you would of been the best Dad anyone could of ask for. I miss you Honey. Brendan is so cute! Every time he wakes up in the middle of the night, he always ask me that he wants to see you. Sure enough I go and get my phone and when he sees you he always, always gives you a kiss. I love it when he does that. Don't you?

Love you!

This is a message for Landon’s family and friends. I regularly stop and read the reflections left for Landon. I found his wife’s messages touching. We feel her loss and it tugs at our hearts. Landon was fortunate to have found the kind of love expressed in her thoughts. I’m sorry my wife and I missed meeting her at the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C. I was one of several Officers who rode the 2007 Police Unity Tour in Landon’s honor. The point I wanted to make is this. Not only will Landon, his service and sacrifice, be remembered but his family will also. I can’t imagine the pain and loss Landon’s family and friends must bare. I hope they can take some comfort in knowing they are not alone. Because Landon is also part of a greater family, the Law Enforcement Family. Although we may not have met, we care and are here for you.

I know you are with us in spirit but there is times when I wish you could help me explain to them why Daddy is. not home. I love you Baby.

We miss you so much. There's not a day that we don't think about you. Our boys constantly talk about you. Your Mom came down to visit us & we went to the park to play some baseball. We had a blast. The boys loved hitting the baseballs and soon after Landon and Gramie were racing around the bases.Merry Christmas.
We Love you,
Your Family
