To the Pawlowski Family,
There are no words to express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I am completely devastated, John was like family to me, as I spent 8 hours a day with him for 7 months in the police academy.
Kim, I know that this is probably the hardest thing that you have ever had to deal with in your young life, and there will be days where all you can do is cry, just remember that GOD would never put more on you than he believes you can bare. Never lose your faith and always trust in him. I will pray that he gives you the strength that you will need to get through this painful time in your life.
God Bless.

First I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Pawlowski family for your loss
I'm sure if John could speak He would say:
"Death is only a temporary separation and in it I say to all my love ones, family, friends and citizens of the City of Brotherly Love. We will all meet again soon, until then remember I have loved you all.
Keep in your hearts and memories a special place for all of us, The Brothers and Sister, Angels of Blue. And never forget the sacrifice we made out of our love for you."
Written with a painful heart
Citizen of Phila.

John had worked with my daughter Lisa who is a police officer in the 35th dist. and she also had said what a great officer and a real great guy he was. I also had met John a few times and he was just a great guy. John's dad and I worked together many years ago in the 14th dist. A great family and a tragic loss. God bless this family and our Police department.
In my thoughts and prayers.
