Reflections for Officer Jason Wayne Cammack
Hey Jay,
I haven't talked to you in awhile. Alot has happened, we have a new nephew by the name of Ryan Jason Cammack, your name sake. He has black thick hair, Gayles nose and he looks just like Gayle. He is so cute. We just love him. I hope you are watching and can see him. I am closing on my new house today, it has a built in swimming pool in the back yard, I'm sure we will have plenty of company, which is fine with us. We made it through Easter it was hard, but we made it, we didn't do anything as a family it's just not the same. I am feeling better, since my surgery. My medicine is making me fatter, oh well, hopefully I will lose it when I get off it. Hayden still doesn't treat his aunt Jen very well, but I still love him anyway. Well, I guess I will go for now. Please keep a watchful eye on all of us. We love and miss you like crazy.
Love ya,
Jen

Happy Valentine's Day sweetie. It's not the same without you. I miss you everyday. Mom and I are taking Hayden out tonight for Valentine's day. Wish you were here. Take care of us please. Watch out for us. We miss you. Hayden goes into the guest room every so often and gets out one the the hot wheel cars you had bought for him when he was a baby. We talk about where the care came from before he opens it and always says thank you daddy, we miss you.. come back. You would be so in love with him. I miss our family. chris

hey baby... once again I am without knowing what to do next year. My gifted/ talented job will be cut next school year due to budget cuts. I thought this was it...guess not. So, if you could hook me up with something great I would appreciate it. Take care me. I miss you everyday.

Hey baby...
I miss you. It's another new year without you. When will it stop hurting? I hate writing to you like this, for everyone to see but I feel like this is the only way for me to talk to you. You know I try to keep my feelings to myself. This is horrible... I wish I had one more day with you. I want to hold your hand again in the special way we used to. I want to lay my head on your chest and hear your heart, hear it beating. I want to hear you laugh.
I am still waiting for letters from your friends and officers for Hayden. I want him to know you and there is so much about you that I don't know. I only knew you as my love, you were so much more than that to so many people. I want Hayden to know the whole you. I understand that it would be hard for people but please help them write the words.
You would eat him up right now, he is so cute. He has you written all over him. It's driving me crazy! Ha, Ha... "shake your booty" and "see hiney" I know, came from you straight from heaven. What other 2 year old cracks up at himself at the topic of his own rear? He is so you...
So many of your friends are having babies now... would we be having another?... trying for that baby girl?
I just want to be happy again. I just want someone to love me the way you did. I was always so important to you...you ruined me, you know that! I am so lonely without you baby. Please send me someone to love and take care of me like you did. I don't want to grow old by myself...Hayden will won't need me so much in a few years and you know how I can't stand to be alone. Please take care of us and help me to understand why this had to happen. I miss you every day... my life isn't the same without you. Please watch over Hay and keep him safe...I wouldn't be able to go on if something happened to him... protect him please. Love you always and forever, chris.

J,
I just wanted to write a quick message to let you know you continue to be in my heart and in my memories. I also want to express to your family and friends that my thoughts and prayers are with them during this holiday season.
You are truly missed!

It's been quite a while since I have written to you; it's certainly not because you're not in my thoughts. There are so many things that daily bring you to mind. You know, that picture of you with Jana is still on our fridge - I just don't think I'll ever be able to take it down. Chad and I talk about you quite often; I know he misses you horribly.
I dreamed about you (and all of us together) the other night. You were sitting in a big chair and I stared at you for a moment, then went over and hugged you so tightly and told you how thankful we were that you were here. It was as if you had been in the wreck, but you were still with us. I went over to tell Chad that you were here, then realized that it wasn't possible...after that, every time we said your name you disappeared. We began to think that you hadn't been with us at all until Hayden turned around and said, "Look Daddy, it's Scooby Doo on TV!" It was then we realized that even if we couldn't see you all the time, you were still there with us. The last thing I remember before I woke up is that great big smile of yours. Dreams are so weird, aren't they? I guess I just needed reassurrance that you'll always be watching over us.
My birthday is next week. I wish more than anything that you were going to be around; I wouldn't even mind you teasing me about being older than you guys! We miss you more than you could imagine! Please watch over each of us and keep us safe. Take special care of Christa & Hayden -- they still need you so much.
Love, Jen

Hey Jay,
Do ya know what today is, sure you do it's my birthday and you are not here to celebrate it with me, you are suppose to give me a present. You would get out of that one. I wish you were here to go out to eat with me like we used to do. I had Hayden last night for a while, that child is a mess, I love him so much, I know you hear it all the time that he is just like you. Last, Thursday night at the Sower Soccer field they retired your soccer jersey, it was such a neat ceremony. You are still making the newspaper. Moms got the jersey hanging in the TV room. I went to the cemetary today to spend some time with you on my birthday, I'm still waiting for a present. The last present you gave me for my birthday was lotions and things for my feet, what are trying to tell me. Jay, I just writing to you it makes me feel like you are really there hearing me. Well I guess I better go for now, save me a spot, and please look out for all of us. I love you more than anything.
Love,
Jen

Hey Baby,
School has started back. I wish I had you to talk to about it. I have a new job and it is so much better than teaching in the regular classroom. It is exactly what I was looking for. I wish you could be here to see how much more relaxed I am, it is so unstressful. Thanks
for putting up with all those tears after coming home from a stressful day in the classroom.
I miss you terribly. Days go by and I start feeling so strong without you then something kicks me back down and my heart breaks all over again. It aches for you. There is such a huge void in my heart and I am afraid it will never be whole again. You would be so in love with your son. Jay, he is exactly what we wanted. He is so totally perfect and beautiful. I wish so much he could know you. It is so odd how he is so much like you without your daily influence in his
life. I keep trying to explain to him that you live in heaven with the angels and Jesus. I hope one day he understands. It is so hard for me to understand. I have so many questions baby. Help me please, if you can. Watch over us and keep us safe.
Love always
christa

Hey Jay,
I was just thinking of you, I do all the time. I just can't get used to you being gone. I'm really ready for you to come back home to us. I talk about you everyday, at all the silly things you always did. That child of yours drives me crazy. He loves to tease me, last night he told me to doaway, and then I kissed him and he said yuk kisses. He's just like you. I really think that you are whispering in his ear and telling him everything to do. You would be so proud of him. I just love that kid so much. I'm so glad we have him. I show him your picture all the time and I ask him who that is and he says my Daddy. He will know who you are. He will know how proud of you that I was. I miss you so much. I will never forget you. And I'm sorry that I don't come by to see you very much, I just can't stand seeing your name on that stone. It just reminds me that you are really gone, which I know that you are in a better place, but I'm selfish I want you here. Well,I'm going for now I will write to you again soon. Just remember that I will love you for ever and will never forget you.
Love ya,
Jen

I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU!
LOVE, BIG EM
I cannot begin to explain the flood of emotions that i have just experienced reading the kind words left for officer cammack. Its hard to believe that i could shed tears so easy for a fallen brother,but this had to be a special man to have touched hearts the way he obviously did. Nothing can be said to ease the pain his family must be feeling to this day. I graduated class #269 and as far as I know we are all still here. Such a terrible thing......for what its worth......He is in a better place!
10-7 rest in peace brother................

Jason,
Please rest in Peace knowing that your wonderful family will always look after Krista and Hayden, they are a very important part of their lives. You will never be forgotten and the Cammacks will make sure your baby boy knows what a wonderful Daddy he has. He is a perfect mixture of you and your very strong willed wife. You are sorely missed.

Hey Jay,
Our family is just not same without you. We have family get togethers and they are so not the same, kinda boring with you being there acting your crazy self. Gayle, Marni, Big Em and I were setting around the other day talking about it. Thank goodness we have Hayden Lee he acts just like you. He smiles all the time and teases me just like you did. He treats his aunt Jen like you always did. I still can't beleive that you are not with us, I caught little Emily crying over you lastnight, I asked her what was wrong and she said she missed you. She missed her uncle Jason.I could sit here all day and talk to you, but I better get back to work. Just remember I will always LOVE YOU, forever. Don't forget your big sister, I stiil need you and will never let you go. You are in my mind and heart everyday. I wish you would come back to me, I miss you like crazy. Be good up there and don't give God a hard time.
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
JEN

Hey Jason,
I had to tell you that Christa and I took Hayden to see his first 'real' movie a couple of Saturdays ago! We saw "Shrek" and he loved it! He looked at me, Christa and Jana with the biggest eyes and pointed to the screen saying, "Ooohhhh...."! He is just a precious little angel and I love him so much. I was just thinking about how you told Christa that you decided that you were ready to have a baby (Hayden) because of Jana --- you said you saw how happy Christa was around Jana and you loved that; you would certainly adore seeing all of them together! Jana adores her "little brother."
Chad had a meeting with Major Maffett a couple of days ago and when he went into the office, the secretary showed him a picture of you and told him she thought his wife had taken the photo. It is one of the ones I took of you at your KVE graduation. Apparently, they have enlarged the photo and will be placing copies of it in all the weigh stations state-wide. WOW! I think it is wonderful that they are doing that and am honored to have one of my pictures used for the purpose.
Christa talked to us about a local chapter of COPS that will be started here; we plan to be very active. I hope that we will make you proud in the things we do. We all love and miss you tremendously.
Love, Jen
