It seems just like yesterday that I had responded to a radio call that Spree was handling. Like always, she handled it in the professional manner we expect from all our officers. At the end of the call, She told me that she was transfering to O.O. and how an admin job would be good for her career. She definitely had a bright future with the LAPD that was cut way too soon. Spree was taken from us way too early from all of us and will be sorely missed. My prayers and thoughts are with all your loved ones...

It is still mind-numbing to think that Dennis is gone! To me, he was always larger than life, and was in on so many good things. He surfed, sailed, sang, and perhaps more than anything else, loved; his family and friends realize now -more than ever- how lucky they were to have him in their lives. My own friendship with Dennis was forged out of our common love of traditional music, and I was fortunate enought to play the banjo in his band for twenty years. His warmth, humor, and gentle friendliness were always in evidence; his generosity was also extraordinary as well, and I remember many gigs where he divided the money up for everyone but himself! For several days, I have been listening to traditional music, and hearing some of the songs that we played, like "Whoa, Mule, Whoa!" and "Bill Cheatham" bring back fond memories of a golden time. I look forward to the day when we can all meet together with Dennis in a better place than this world, and in the meantime, the world is chillier and grayer without him-

We love you, Bunky-

Dear Gabby,

I'm a college student at UCI; first Generation Mexican-American. I promise to live for Aida as well.

My parents are having a really hard time right now, as they have had their whole life. They just lost our house and are now living with my aunt, my other aunt lost her house as well. And my dad and brother lost their jobs- its a really depressing economy right now...

I just came back home, from a long stressful day. And I sat down next to my window and looked at the news online and found this. It inspired me to tears. I cried for you, and your sister because it saddened me that someone who is so INSPIRED with goodness and HOPE can fall victim to something like this. But in that wreckage dear Gabby, she has inspired me as well. Inspired me to continue this dream, this strong passionate and vital dream we carry on our backs to help ourselves and our parents, and those around us. To continue to live for others.

im still crying. And I promise to Aida and you, and your family, and all the first generation strugglers, movers and shakers of our sad economy- that I will continue my struggle to become something effective - to one day buy a house for my parents- and see them away from struggle.

because they have struggled so much for us. I feel related to you- to your sister, and as much as your story breaks hearts, I wanted to let you know, that it INSPIRES tenfold.

Aida has inspired me. I will live alongside her, and help her achieve these dreams she has for your parents, the parents that struggle to give their children a hopeful future. I wanted to let you know that- Im sure she was a gorgeous and beautiful person, because that kind of person in this world effects people miles and miles away even after leaving this earth. She will live on in my dreams.

My heart is with you.
Victor Vazquez.
