Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Trooper nine years ago today you were taken from your family and South Carolina lost a hero. I just left 527 and Skinner Rd. Lin was there when I arrived and together we did what I have done ever May 16th since 2005. Prayed for your family and relived what we could have done differently. I tried blaming the coward that started the events of that day and did a lot of what if's. Brother I am still sorry that I could not get through the flames. RIP Trooper you will not be forgotten

Jon,
It's been 9 years now and it still doesn't get any easier. Sitting here on 527 as I have on every May 16 since and I still feel the emotional pain of that day. I'm sorry that we couldn't get to you in time brother. So many questions, so many "what ifs"; but the answers won't change what happened. Miss ya bud. Still fighting the flames.

Jon,
It is May once again. The greening leaves and warm sunshine belie the sadness that this time of year holds for me and those who love you.
On May 16, next Friday, you will have been gone away from us for nine years. Nine years.
Love you, always.

Trooper Parker eight years have passed since the state of South Carolina lost a protector in grey. I traveled over to Skinner Rd. and 527 today and sat for awhile as I have done ever year on this date and tried to think of anything that I could have done differently in 2005. Again brother I'am sorry I couldn't get through the flames. Continue to watch over those of us still on the line. RIP Troop

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the seventh anniversary of your death.

Your family is in my heart's embrace. Our families began our grief journeys very close in time.

Rest In Peace.

Trooper Parker,
Its been 7 years and I still see the flames and feel the heat. I told my oldest daughter about the significance of May 16th. I cried as did she. She told me that it was gods plan and that Rudy and I did all that we could. She told me that you had already gone to be with god. This, comming from a 13 year old touched my heart and helped me through the 7th anniversary of your passing. It still hurts. Praying for your family. Rest peacefully my brother. Thank you for your sacrifice.

I can't stop thinking about you today bro. Lots have things have changed in seven years and. Boy do I wish you were here to live it with me. As I sit by your resting spot I reflect all those times good and bad. I believe you are the only man I have ever sat in the median and cried with. No matter what it was I always could count on you. You are a great friend!

Seven years of mornings ago, we all got up, got ready for work, went to out jobs, but one of us would never return home. That was you. Miss you. Love you all the way to heaven.

Seven years. This time of year, the leaves have a certain shade of green, the air a certain feel which causes us to feel anew the pain, the shock, of your loss.You will never, ever be forgotten.

Jon,
As the years pass, the pain still shows. I think about that ill fated day in May, 2005 and the uneasy feeling as Rudy and I followed in the pursuit. I still see the flames, I still feel the heat, I'm sorry my brother that we couldn't get through the flames. It still hurts just as bad as it did almost 7 years ago, but I am honored and privileged to have known a hero such as you. Rest peacefully my brother. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Life goes on; seasons change as do we all. One thing that will never change is the empty space in the hearts of all those who love you. Love, not loved. Our love for you will live on in our hearts. Remembering you, every day, always.

Uncle Jon-Jon,

More of your brothers in uniform were killed today here in Tampa. I wonder if the killers will ever know how much pain they have caused the families of the officers...? I wonder if your killer ever thinks of the devastation he has caused our family...? Today, I struggle to understand this crazy world.

I miss you so much.

Love,

Kim
