What a day I had... :(
we left to go to Police station this morning and all was fine till they rang the bell and called Mikes name out and cut the black balloon to fly to heaven ...I started crying and started to confort Dee (Mikes wife) and the cameras all FIVE of them stayed on me and her the rest of the time. So guess I will be plasted all over the news tonight up that way..they flew his hellicopter over the place , well it was the one he was suppose to start flying in two weeks..
They had a big fish fry afterwards and it was really good, but I didnt really feel like eating after all of that. It is something they will do every year for him and they other officers that lost their life while working at that department, they handed us each a beauiful rose with a red ribbon. I just hate to be in the public eye like that like a fish in a bowl for everyone to sit and watch as they have us in separate setting than rest of people..and all of those tv stations and newspapers are like buzzards..I couldnt even take good pictures of the man playing the bagpipes for the tv crew..besides that it was really nice.

Your in my families prayers. I know how awful it is to have cameras stuck in your face, it makes it even worse. But getting the story out is a good thing, even though I wish they wouldn't "pimp" the family the way they do. God bless your family.

How wonderful that your son was honored in such a meaningful way, you must be so proud of him, as Dee must be. I am so sorry for your loss, but it sounds like he had a lot of people that liked, respected, and thought highly of him. My grandmother always says: It isn't the amount of time you spend on the earth, it is what you do with the time that you have. God Bless you and your family, you will be in my prayers. I send my love to your family.

On May 9th we added an extra candle for your brother. My 11 yr old asked why we had an extra candle and I said it was for Deputy Mike. I gave him a quick story on what happened and he said we have to add an extra candle for Sheriff Mike every year now. I reminded him that he was a Deputy and he said "Come on mom, God made him a sheriff in Heaven"
I was quite proud of him even though I am not a Christian...

You are still and will remain in my prayers. I know losing your brother so tragically has been so very hard for you, and I keep praying for the pain to ease, at least a bit, for you and your family
One Big Ass Mistake, America!
