Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Kev,
Well, we did what we said we probably never would do...went on a cruise! It was a great experience. You would have loved it. Mark actually thought for a brief moment the ship was gone to "tip over"! You would have been laughing your a** off!! I thought about you often and how when we got home I was going to call and tell you all about it....but of course that's not possible. I still can't believe it sometimes...... I miss you.

Marsh,

Not sure what made me think of writing you today. Your memory is always with me. You always have been and always will be an inspiration to me in all aspects of my life. I miss you so much.

Every time I see a blue MSP car on the road, I overflow with pride - to live in the beautiful State of Michigan where we are blessed with the best. I'm sure every state in this great country can make the same claim - there is no one I appreciate more, here on earth, than our men and women in blue. From coast to coast, sea to shining sea, May God protect and bless each and every one of you. All heroes!

I know you will be with all of the Team this week. They are the best, just like you - Have fun, I miss you and love you always!

January 12, 2005

Still in our daily thought, especially this week! Keep a watchful eye on them!

Kevin,
I hope that you are sitting down with my Kevin and watching over both of your families on Christmas morning. I am really not one to say things like this but I think, in some way, you and my husband helped Angie and I to find each other. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful friend.
Merry Christmas,

Dear Kev,
Merry Christmas! I can't believe that another Christmas has come without you here. I miss you so much...as I'm sure you know. You were my anchor, even though I was supposed to be yours... (Love the boating term, huh?! Funny!!) Angie is doing a tremendous job with the kids...you would be so proud of her and them. I know that you are. Ryley and Emma are growing up so fast. I know that you are looking over all of them (Samantha and Joe included!) and that you are so proud of them. They all miss you SO VERY MUCH!! Please continue to watch over all of them and please come visit me in a dream again. I love and miss you more than I can ever say.....

Merry Christmas Honey!
I miss you more than you know. Santa is getting ready to make a visit and your little buddy and princess have been soooo good this year. I know you loved Christmas morning as much as they do. We watch the videos I took and they laugh and smile - they remember. You always made things so very special for them. We know you will be watching over us as Santa "comes early" this year...(I know, I know) . Anthony is getting pretty sneaky and is wondering if Santa is "a myth" (can you believe he used such a big word?). They are growing up so fast and you would be so proud of them.
I hope you are proud of the things we are doing...it's hard but I know in my heart they are the right things to do...what you would have wanted. And I couldn't be doing it with out the wonderful friends and family you have blessed me with. Thank you for making all our Christmas's bright!
You are our Shining Star....the first and biggest star each night - as Danielle always notices-"Daddy's star"
Always know that we love you with all our hearts forever! There isn't a second that goes by that we don't think of you and miss you!

Merry Christmas From Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I"ll even remind you
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don"t have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I"m still close beside you
in a new special way

I love you all dearly
now don"t shed a tear
cause I"m spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

The "Poem for Daddy" post that appears below is one of the most beautiful tributes I have ever read. God is lucky to have the best of the blue angels at His side. Truly, all of the men and women who left us so tragically were, and still are, loved and missed deeply. May all of those who suffer the loss of a loved one find comfort in knowing that they will, some day, be reunited in the Heavenly kingdom. Rest in peace, Kevin. Gone, but never forgotten.

"Dear God, I miss my Daddy"

Dear God, I miss my Daddy
My daddy is a policeman, he wears a suit of blue;
He didn't come home from work last night,
Mommy says he's in heaven with you.

I'm worried about my daddy Lord,
He's never been away this long before;
Mommy cried when she told me we that we wouldn't see daddy no more;
I don't know what it was that mommy was trying to explain;
She said the police were after a bad man, and somehow my daddy was slain.

Now I don't know what that means Lord, all I know is we miss daddy a lot;
Because tomorrow is my birthday, and I sure hope he hasn't forgot.
Lord if my daddy is up there in heaven, please tell him as soon as he is free;
To hurry back home as fast as he can, because we miss him, mommy and me.

Thank you God,
Amen

For Angie, Anthony and Danielle,

Christmas Prayer

I pray for peace
Blessings and honor
Heaven right earth's despair
This is my Christmas prayer
For those that grieve
God will bring comfort
Laughter will rapture there
This is my Christmas prayer

See I pray that love will rule and reign
And I pray that time will rid the pain
of this world as learn to trust and care
This is my Christmas prayer

I pray for you
that you triumph and conquer
And posses the strength you need to bare
This is my Christmas prayer
For those in need
There would be plenty
And each other's burdens share
This is my Christmas prayer

So let hope fill our hearts
Shine the light through the dark
All around the world and everywhere
I will pray
This Christmas prayer

song by Bebe Winans

I love you guys!
