It has been 2 years since you were called away from duty. I know your family and close friends think of you every day. The love for you that they have in their broken hearts will never die as long as they walk this earth. Keep watch over them and protect them.

hey Greg!
I miss you so much, it seems like I'm always saying to myself "wow, Greg used to say that, or pick on me about that" You drove me crazy when you used to tease me but I wish you were still here to tease me all the time. I was flipping through pictures the other day and I found some of our marsh-mellow fight and I couldnt stop smiling and laughing because only you would start a marsh-mellow fight in the house! ...I wish you were here to come to some of my volleyball games, we are 12-1 and we are leaving for state on wednesday! i love you and miss you so much as well as everyone else!
p.s.-watch over me and willbo as we start driving...scary huh?

Hi Greggy-Poo!
I can't believe it has been two years ago today since the accident.
Andi is having a real hard time.
We all miss you so much. We will never be the same without you here with us.
Everytime I cut your Dad's hair I think about you telling me to "Cut it thick this time, Mama". I wish so very much I could cut your hair again.
I love you more than you will ever know.

Greg,
You are still missed as if it were just yesterday. You will never know what this has done to my life. I love you more and more every day.
I wish I could tell every parent how important it is to tell their children daily how much they are loved and how important they are to them.
The worst time of all is the first thought of you every day. It's just like it just happened. I don't think that feeling will ever go away.
I still love you dearly and miss you more than I could ever imagine.
Love,
Mom

Hi Baby,
We are leaving Thursday morning for D.C. to honor you and other fallen police officers. You don't know how proud I am that I am your mom. I just wish I had told you more often when you were with us.
I missed you so very much on Mother's Day and my birthday. I could just hear you teasing me about being an old woman.
I love you so much, sweety!!

A COP ON THE TAKE
First he takes....the oath!
(Now look at what else he takes)
He takes ... it in stride when people call him pig.
He takes ... his lousy paycheck realizing he'll never be rich.
He takes ... a second job sometimes to make ends meet and support his family.
He takes ... time to stop and talk to children.
He takes ... your verbal abuse while giving you a ticket you really deserve.
He takes ... on creeps you would be afraid to even look at.
He takes ... time away from his family to keep you safe.
He takes ... your injured child to the to the hospital.
He takes ... the graveyard shift without complaint because it's his turn.
He takes ... his life into his hands daily.
He takes ... you home when your car breaks down.
He takes ... time to expalin why both your headlights have to work.
He takes ... the job no one else wants, telling you a loved one has died.
He takes ... criminals to jail.
He takes ... in sights that would make you cry. (Sometimes he cries too, but he takes it anyway because someone has to)
He takes ... memories to bed each night that you couldn't bear for even one day.
He takes ... time to explain to his family why he can't make the ball game his child is in and why he has to work on the holidays when other parents are off.
SOMETIMES HE TAKES A BULLETT...
And, yes, occasionally he may take a free cup of coffee.
If he is lucky he takes retirement.
Then one day he pays for all he has taken, and God takes him.

Hi Baby,
I still can't believe you are not here with us. No matter what we do in honor of you, it is still not enough. I need to just hold your face, hands, feet...to give you a BIG hug and soft kiss. I want to hear your voice. I need you. It's that simple!
Selfish as this seems, I know GOD and I know you are in a better place. I have to believe you or another greater being were watching over me in Atlanta,I was just two blocks over from the shootings, then today I was working in probably the worst part of my home town and on this small church sign it read "DEATH IS NOT A PERIOD, ONLY A COMMA"(wow)Then last night I drove everyone crazy with my sad self. I came across an old-yellowish paper that almost sounds like a poem or lyrics to a song in your drawer; I read it to your Mom last night and we both agreed that only one or two lines sounded familar. I am too emotional to post it now. Maybee tonight I'll get myself together. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I LOVE YOU SWEETIE,
