Hi Dad -
So much going on with Jim... Please guide us and give us strength. We are so faithful that God is handling this situation and yet, it is still so difficult not having any answers.
Please send Brice a sign that he is not alone in his pain.
We love you and miss you every single day.

Hey Pop-Pop,

Well 2014 has begun and that means another year without you is approaching. I just got back from Philly recently... And the crab legs just weren't the same without you laughing at us devour them.

I went to the FOP, and met some cool guys that respected you. The shrimp was really good there!!?

I even got to Pennsauken. I hope to play it some time soon. Which leads me to golf season coming soon. Please don't let any balls go in hazards or OB. Just give me some good breaks please. Ahaha.

Anyways I love you and give Grammy a smooch for me. Also please help me to raise the family name and not degrade it.

Xoxo Brice

Pop-Pop,

Well high school golf season has just ended and I'm not going to lie, I wish you would have been there. I achieved a lot not only in the game itself, but for the first time in a while I was just happy to be playing. Not a day will go by that I don't wish you could have seen me hoist the championship trophy or see me get named all conference as a freshman. I will always wish you could have been there to see me get a varsity letter. However with that said I could definitely feel your presence during the 2 birdies at our regional tournament at Pinehurst. I hope every time I play I'll feel that presence and have you there to guide me. I hope you will also be there to keep me from throwing the new driver I got. Anyways I just wanted to check in and say I miss you like crazy.

With lots of love,
Brice XOXO

Big Cheese,

I could really use a phone call with you right now. This has been the worst year of my life and the home stretch seems to be the darkest ride. I know my mom misses you, but tell her you don't need Land O'Lakes just yet.

Dearest Barbara and Family,
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy...Eskimo Legend

Life is forever different when the parents are gone, good and bad. You are different when the parents are gone, good and bad. Make the most of the good, don't dwell on the bad. In you, they are here forever. Love and prayers, Your friend, Nancy

Thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. Mr. C was a very special man, always had something to say to me-made me laugh and encouraged me when I was younger after my father had passed away. Your family is a part of my childhood memories growing up on Stirling Street-and a part of my heart. I am picturing your parents together again, looking down on all of you. Love and prayers.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. The members of our CopNET family would like to thank Robert R. Connors for his dedication and service to the citizens of Philadelphia. The passing of Robert will be broadcast to our 2903 members shortly and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family. His absence from our ranks will be deeply missed by the remaining members of Philadelphia’s Finest who were fortunate to have served with him during his police career. He will continue in our thoughts and prayers during our remaining days. "Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand. " . . .
Semper Fidelis.
