Hi honey

It's mom.....

I can't believe it has been three years since that dreadful night. It seems like it's been an eternity. Life without you has been so difficult....but I know you are always with me for I carry you in my heart.

Thanks for the white feather this morning....I needed that. Tomorrow night is your station memorial. Please give us strength.

I miss you SO much......I can't stop thinking about what should have been......

But I want you to know I am very appreciative of the time I did have with you, even though it was way too short. You brought joy to my life......I just hope you truly knew that.....

I love you very much.......please visit often

Love
mom

Hi Bryan,

Just thinking of you and wanted to say hello. Thanks for the coins I found on the floor..and even one at the Hollywood House of Terror, how appropriate! Couldn't help but think of you in Disneyland...,what a fun and absolulely hilarious trip that was!

As the old Cinderella saying goes, "A dream is a wish your heart makes". That being said, come visit me soon in my dreams.

Love,
Andrea

Happy Birthday Bryan. We celebrated you at Cybelle's and I made sure to order that burger just as you would have....I'm not gonna lie it's pretty darn tasty but mega heavy. Lucky for me I have an iron stomach!

It was a good turn out..but the most important person was missing.

Lots of love.

Hi my love,

So much has been going on Bryan and for that reason I am way behind on writing to you. I plan to come visit you soon so I promise to bring you up to speed then...I would've loved to hear your comments in person though....always looking for some good brotherly advice.

Until then,
Andrea

P.S. I love you and miss you very much.

Hi honey -

It's mom. It has been a REALLY tough month for me......and I defintely know why. It started with a newspaper reporter calling the house AGAIN!!!! - wanting to write a story on your killer (which he has now done) - and wanting my statement. The good thing is that I did not answer the phone live when he called ...but rather heard the message he left on the house recorder. I would have HATED for him to hear my reaction. There was really more to it than that.....but irregardless, the call threw me over the top....and I have not been good since.

I miss you ever breathing moment of every day. You brought laughter to me.....and as they say, laughter is good for the soul. I miss hearing you laugh...and having you make others laugh. I miss seeing you......and miss being able to hug you........I just plain miss you. A mother should always have their child around.

I sincerely hope that you and daddy...and all your police buddies (including your newest arrival Laurence) are enjoying patroling the gates of heaven.

ALL MY LOVE
Mom

Hi honey

It's mom......I know it has been awhile since I have made an entry....but please don't think for one moment that I have not thought about you......and not cried due to this tragedy.....each and every day......

You are CONSTANTLY on my mind....and will FOREVER remain in my heart. I love you very much.....

I attended my first officer presence funeral.....although it was not a in the line of duty funeral, nonetheless, it was SF presence....and it brought with it a lot of emotion. The officer was only 30 years old....and had his whole life ahead of him.....but God had other plans. He was ill and died of his illness. He is buried right across from you....and each of you can see each other. I am sure you helped aclimate him to his new environment.

I also attended a retirement dinner for a SF officer....who was one of your pall bearers. He will always hold a special place in my heart for helping to carry you that day.

I sincerely hope that you and daddy are spending a lot of time together. For it is so very important to me that you ALWAYS be with one of your parents.

All my love and all my prayers go to you and daddy.

Hi honey

It's mom.....

Well, today is Holy Thursday. I wonder what you would have given up for Lent......I can't help but think of you at Easter, but then again, I think of you EVERY day. You always had me buy your "bock bock" eggs at Easter time. I don't know how you could possibly have eaten them, but you seemed to like them.

These past few weeks have been very difficult with the killings of Officers in Oakland. It brought me right back to the night of 12/22/06 at the hospital with you. I just odn't get it. It seems so easy for guns to be available to the "bad" element....

This is a very holy week and I wonder what it is like in heaven this week for you.

I hope you and daddy are enjoying your time together. You are missed TREMENDOUSLY down here. I am so very lost without you.

Love and kisses to you honey...I miss you

Dear Bryan,

Hi, honey! Sorry I haven't written in a while, but know that I am always thinking of you and you are always in my heart. There are so many times when I see someone who reminds me of you. I like to think that you are reaching out to me and letting me know that you are watching over me. It's a good feeling. I miss you very much and can't help but think how different things would be now if you were here. I miss our after dinner games and hearty laughs. We just don't laugh like that anymore. I'm wishing you a early Happy Easter so I won't forget. Talk with you soon.

Love You,

Sandy

Hi honey

I so much wish you were here. You kept me grounded.

I love you and miss you every breathing moment of every single day.

Please give daddy a BIG hug from me

Stopping by to tell you I love you and miss you. You have no idea how much I wish you were here. You would have been a great sounding board right now.

Love you much. Rest peacefully.

My dearest Bryan

I'm sorry it has been awhile since I made an entry. Please don't think for one moment that the lack of an entry would mean I have forgotten you. You are and ALWAYS will be......on my mind and in my heart every minute of every day.

I miss you TERRIBLY.......

I hope that things are going well for you up in heaven.

I send you and daddy kisses and hugs from me.

All my love

Bryan,

At the time I was the new guy at Taraval Station but I remember you talking and joking with me in the locker room. I thought you were a cool guy for treating me like a friend rather than a rookie. You really helped me adjust to my new station. I never told it to you but thanks. I think of you a lot and you and your family are in my prayers.

Merry Christmas. I know it's late but trust me you were thought of at our house. You would have enjoyed the laughs we shared at the dinner table this year.;) You know our house can be very entertaining at times!

I love you and talk to you soon.
