It's now been 24 years since Evelyn was taken away from this world and from all those that knew and loved her. She is in my thoughts virtually everyday of the year. I often recall having lunch with her about 14 hours before she died. I have only beautiful memories of the times that were shared with her. No more need be said except, I miss her smile, her voice, and the kindness she brought to this world.

Dear Evelyn,
We were childhood friends who lost touch with one another many years ago. I didn't learn of your death until 2007, when I attended our 30th high school reunion. I woke up this morning thinking of and praying for you and your family. Here's wishing you a Merry Christmas and assuring you that even your childhood friends remember your delightful spirit!

Another year has gone by since Evelyn was taken away from this world and from those who knew and loved her!!! It's been 22 years now since that dreadful night. I remember that only hours before she passed away, we were having lunch together, that was the last time I saw her beautiful face and heard her sweet voice. Life goes on for the rest of us, and we still have our memories of her which cannot be taken away from those who loved her. I see her everyday in a picture that hangs on my wall. Her memory lives on forever !!!!!

Thinking of you today on your birthday. How fortunate we are to have had you in our lives. My season with you is filled with so many fond memories. We had so much fun on patrol in Cutler Ridge.

Well another year has gone by, now it's 21 years since we had lunch together and we said good bye. Little did I know that would be the last time I would see you alive. I have your picture just to my right as I type this reflection. You are always thought about and missed.

It was 20 years ago today that Evelyn was taken from us. I woke up this morning and reflected on the events that transpired the morning of her death. A tragic day I will never forget. As the years have past, I see her picture taken in her uniform with the American flag in the background. I see her beautiful face and awesome smile. She will always be in the hearts and minds of all of us who knew her and loved her.

Today is 20 years that I lost you little sister and I miss you and I think about you every day. I love you and I know that you would've grown old gracefully but you will be for ever young and beautiful in our minds. How I miss all of those years that we were robbed of your presence and of your laughter and of your sense of humor but they can't rob me of my memories.
Rest in peace Eve I love you very much

It's hard to believe that it has been 19 years since Evelyn died, she was one of my closest friends. I had lunch with her about 12 hours before she was killed. I will never forget she was wearing an orange top and black colored slacks on that day, day before Halloween. I look at her picture everyday, as it is displayed in one of my rooms. May she continue to rest in piece, I will always miss her.

Evelyn was one of my best friends in high school. She was such a beautiful girl with a wicked sense of humor and a kind heart. My heart broke when I heard of her death as this world needed her in it for so many reasons. She will always hold a treasured place in my heart and will be forever missed. RIP, wildfire.

It is so nice to see all the nice things, that till this day, people have to say about my mother. She is the reason I am who I have become today. Though I did not grow up to know my mother she lives on in my memories. Kayle (my daughter) tell me how she dreams of you mommy! I wish she could have known you as well, but obviously you are making a point for her to know you in her mind. I miss you so very much everyday! There are days where it feels like I was just delivered that gut wrenching news of your death, but I know you would not want me to be sad. You are my hero, my angel, and most importantly my mother. I love you with every ounce of my being!

Love you alwats and forever more!

To The Family of Det. Gort:
I wanted to offer my sympathies on your senseless death. I can't fathom any plausible reason for a jury to return a verdict of manslaughter in this case. Det. Gort your courage and bravery will never be forgotten. You were killed like your colleague Lt. Cheryl Seiden who was robbed and shot and suffered for 2 weeks until her passing. my dad was a New York city Police Officer in the 102 precinct for almost 40 years. On Thursday there was a shooting in Miami and two police officers: Det. Roger Castillo and Det. Amanda Haworth were gunned down by a career criminal they were about to arrest and bring to justice. Society has become more violent and one day your killer will get what he deserves. Rest in peace Det. Gort, your sacrifice for the citizens of Dade County will not be forgotten.
