To Deputy Forgione's parents, siblings, wife and children.

Thank You and I am sorry are words not strong enough to express my feelings and they are certainly not strong enough
to ease your tremendous pain. Only God is able to do that
through his promise that you all will see your loved one again. Remember that what the caterpillar sees as the end the
butterfly knows is the beginning. Hold tight to your wonderful memories for it is those memories that will bring great comfort. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as I
pray also that more people come to recognize this terrible
tragedy and begin to act in ways that will not allow these senseless deaths. My heart as a mother of a Police Officer
is heavy and grows heavier with each loss. My tears flow
not for Anthony because he is in heaven where peace and
goodness is the order of the day, but instead for all of you
whose hearts ache with missing him.
For whatever comfort it may eventually bring know that there
are so many good people in this world who cry with you in your loss, who pray for your eventual peace in grief.

To Deputy Sheriff Forgione's little girls, remember daddy is
never far, he lives in your hearts.

Tony,
It was a shocking blow to hear of the tragic event that happened to you on Tuesday morning. You and your team went in not knowing what was going to happen. Sadly you paid the ultimate price that day. You went in as a warrior and came out as a guardian angel. Your courage and bravery is what made you a HERO! You are a real professional for your commitment to protect and serve the citizens of Okaloosa County. I have known your brother, Joey for many years and he always said that both of you were the closest in the world. Joey has bragged about you and said wonderful things about you. I know that you are up in heaven watching over all of us, now when we are working. I know that God will keep his healing hands on your family, your brother and your friends. He also will be with your family at Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. I know that you will be protecting the gates of heaven for us now. We will see you again one day brother and that special day will be joyous. You are a true hero to all of us in law enforcement. You will never ever be forgotten and you will always be with us in spirit. Your mission here is now complete, so now rest peacefully in heaven.

Deputy Forgione
Rest in Peace Brother and tell my Son-in law Josh Norris EOW 07/05/2007 hello and have him show you around. My prayers are with your family during this dark time, but you will have your day, a day that you richly deserve, too many police cars to count, with lights blazing and sirens screaming escorting you. Hundreds of your brothers will stand at attention saluting you and the citizens of your community will shed tears. A 21 gun salute will sound out in respect for you and heart numbing Taps" will be played for you while your family receives a flag. There will not be a dry eye left from both your family and police family near and far. Saint Michael the chief of police in heaven will greet you at the pearly gates and welcome you to Saint Peter's district. You will never be forgotten and your strength and courage will live on to inspire every new deputy that takes up the call of the profession and your sacrifies will be remmebered through out the nation with every police officer. You got the call, you gave your all, and it was more than enough. So prop your feet up and take a load off up there and keep an ear to the radio so that when another of our brother's number is called you can meet them at the gate with a cup of coffee and a smile. Oh and put in a good word for me up there, I like the day watch and make sure my boy Josh is not sleeping the time way.


To the Family of Deputy Forgione
Your complete family are in my families prayers during this dark time. My family is just starting to make it thru a lost of our own with the death of my future son in-law Josh Norris. Anthony was taken to early and should of have had more time with you guys. I know words at this time will never stop the hurt, but know your Husband and Dad is not far from you, he is the whisper in the wind, that feeling of being hugged when no one is there, he will always be at your side watching over ever accomplishment and catching ever tear that you guys shed. What has helped my family and may help yours, remember your love ones laugh, his smile and all those things that are unique to him, since they are truly what made him. He is a true hero in every sense of the word and your police family extends it arms to you, if this one from Louisiana can do anything do not hesitate to ask. God bless you and may he give you strength.

To Ft Okaloosa Sheriff's Department
My brothers and sisters this lost will always be felt at roll call, on the road or just talking at a break. Your Department are in my families prayers also. Hug your family and kiss their heads, they will need comfort also to calm their fears.
