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.

To the Gort family may you know that we have not forgotten your HERO. Time does not heal the pain in our hearts, but it does make it easier to get up and continue with life every day without our loved ones. My prayers are with you today on her EOW. HEROES DO LIVE FOREVER...

God Bless Evelyn and her family, especially her children.
Her smile, beauty, and character will always be an imprint in my mind. The world has lost another beautiful person to a senseless act. I pray she rests in peace and that those close have kept her children safe.

Although I did not know you in life, I spent time with your daughters the week after you passed. Besides your police work, you raised two beautiful, intelligent and compasionate daughters. I think of them often and hope they are well. I'll never forget that time and the impression it made on me early in my career. God bless.
