Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

We had your benefit last night and it was a big success. Many of your friends were there supporting us. They couldn't believe how your son is your clone and even 2" taller than you at 6'6" Giant screen had tv had the Cross town game on, Cubs vs Sox. Today is the 17th anniversary of losing you and unfortunately two CPD Officers were shot last night. Female officer died last night and her partner is fighting for his life. Welcome her home and let her visit her family in their dreams to let them know she is ok. Continue to keep watch over the family for me. We think of you every day. Love Dad

Love,
Dad

Officer Gordon, thinking of you and your family today and always, it is so difficult to believe that so many years have passed, and to think that 17 years ago your mom and dad thought they wouldn't make it through this terrible day. Time does not heal our broken hearts nor does it ever mean we will forget. Continue to watch over your family, friends and the coworkers who continue to patrol the streets of Chicago. You sir, will never be forgotten.

Dear Michael...Thinking of you...and your family...on this 17th Year Remembrance Day...of your tragic loss.

I will be praying for you...and your dear parents...when I attend mass today.

I know you are keeping close watch...over each of your loved ones... and I pray that God blesses you...for being a loving son...brother...and father.

Rest peacefully in His perpetual light...and know that you are not forgotten!

Five years ago today we lost Gram Puf, I hope she is with you and your other Gram who fussed over you when you were little. Your brother is still telling everyone the story how the door opened in Gram Gordon's car and you fell out and he hung on to you and got you back into the car. How I wish you were here to have seen your two boys graduate College. It will be 17 years in August that we lost you but at times it seems like my life without you here has stalled. Everyday there are reminders of you and you will never be forgotten. Continue to keep watch over the family for me. Love and miss you. Dad

Love,
Dad

Hey dad. I don't know what to put down, but it's been 17 whole years without you. I'm a big kid now, going to see if I can get into art school. Been told I look like you a lot. I'm not gonna be sad about it, though-- I know you're watching over me. I'll try to smirk through photos like you do, haha. Love, one'a your kiddos.

Mike, Another Xmas has come and gone and we miss you terriby but your family has kept your memory alive. Xmas Eve the family gathered, including your two sons, and I thought of how much you have missed. Malik graduated from DePaul this past June and Cullen will graduate from Oklahoma University next year. Things changed when we lost you but we went on to make sure you were not forgotten.

Love forever, Mom

Mike today Heaven gained another Angel, she fought to the very end it took everything I had left to tell her it was okay to go that she could rest now. I’ve lost the two people I loved most in this world. Please show her the ropes up there.

There are no Good-Byes only Love

Mike,
Another holiday season is upon us, for me it’s only a reminder that you are not here to celebrate with your family.. No matter how many years pass the hurt stays the same.. You are forever loved and missed.

Think of you every day. I wish I could have changed places with you 16 years ago so that you could have been with your children. Please keep watch over all of them, plus your two brothers and your Mother. Our lives were all changed when we lost you. Miss you every day.

Where has the time gone, I cannot believe that your EOW is coming up, hard to believe that 16 years has almost passed. So much time, but never forgotten. You dad has always know when to send me something via email to bring my spirits back up, I bet you were just like him. Time does not heal the pain in our hearts, but we know that one day we will be reunited with our loved ones and when the time comes there will be a great party in heaven. Continue to rest in peace and watch over your family. HEROES are not forgotten, and you sir are a HERO.

Wishing you a Happy Easter. We have this Virus pandemic going on across the country and the world killing people. Two CPD Officers have died from it so far. Another holiday without you, no one will be here today with this sickness so maybe it will be a little easier without you this year. Every day we think about you and I wish I could have traded places with you. Love and miss you, Mom and Dad

Love,
