Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I know I'm not alone when I put it out there that you are soo.. sorely missed! I miss sharing all the laughs and reminiscing, there are so many memories that only we shared and sometimes it feels like they were only dreams...

Happy Birthday Jess. I just want to say that I love you and miss you everyday. I need you here to help me out, you would always give me advise (whether I wanted it or not). LOL
Well, we had Isabella's 1st bday party today and I think it went pretty good. We couldn't keep the candle lit (I think you might have had a little bit to do with that). But over all it was a good day. She had NO problem digging into that cake.
Well I love you and miss you. Happy Birthday again up there in Heaven.

Miss you,
Amanda

Yeah, getting ready to leave for DC tonight! Now that she is 8 years old, Payton will be going with us. I have made her a couple of tee shirts with your badge and picture on them so she can wear them at the Vigil and throughout the week. Looking forward to remembering and honoring you this week along with your friends and coworkers.

Love and miss you,
Mom

Every May I can't help but think of you more often than I already do. But I always remember the fun, wonderful Higgins Lake trips with you & Matt. Oh how I miss those!

Ken, Josey & I went to see the Michigan Fallen Heroes Memorial a couple weeks ago. We had such a feeling of pride, but also heartache. We are so blessed to have been a part of your life!

Miss & love you!!

Officer Nagle-Wilson, eight(8)years later you are still remembered, with honour.

You died a hero protecting your community.

Thank you for your service. The citizens of Michigan were always well protected under your watch.

A tragic and unnecessary loss.

Just wanted to leave a note as I was thinking about you. Getting ready to head to Chicago and remembering (once again) all of our fun trips for pizza! I don't think I've as much fun on any other trips since our last venture out there.... Sure wish we could have had another one.
Once again missing you,
A friend

I dealt with a woman tonight; always on meth, can't get her life together. Initially when I took the call I was annoyed. You know the call, when you just sat down to eat the meal you just paid for....

Frustrated and annoyed I took the call and was anxious to get it over with. But when I went in with such a bad attitude, I walked away a changed person.

The minute she spoke I stared at her. She sounded like you; exactly like you. I found myself sitting there and listening to her life story. Patiently listening (ya, I used the word patient to discribe me, it won't happen again. lol) She talked about drug use, and losing her kids, belongings and house. I thought to myself "meth will do that to ya"... but I just listened.

For 30 minutes it was like being back at FSU. It didn't matter what she said. It was your voice. It was heartbreaking and amazing both at the same time.

I still keep your picture in my hat. I'll never forget your sacrafice or the lessons learned by your life. I thank God everyday that I am able to do what I do and although confused by his plans for us; I am bound by his love.

thinking about you. "surrounded by his glory"

I awoke in the best mood this morning after having a dream that involved you, me and shopping for a "bubble coat!" Go figure- all of the best ones involve you and shopping!! Anyhow- I borrowed James' ipod and this song came on as soon as I settled into my day. So funny as I look at the pictures on my desk from all the fun that it was taken almost a decade ago when I swear we were just on one of our junk food and movie runs yesterday! Still haven't found anyone else who will grab Taco Bell, Boston Market- and oh-yeah ice cream just for a movie night. How I miss you....

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
The death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today

Would you see the world?
Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family?
I wonder, what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

Today, Today, Today
Today, Today, Today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again someday

Someday, Someday

Merry Christmas Jessica,

During Midnight Mass, I couldn't help but remember you sitting there with us. It was and still is such a special time. This year, it was Rob, Manda, Dakota, Randy and Candace. And of course, we went to St. Mark's. You are still very much a part of our Christmas celebration even though you are not with us. Did you see your tree that Dad put out for you last night?

Love and miss you,
Mom

Jess,
As I taught at the academy, I was discussing Officer Safety and the dangers of our profession. I was talking about you and trying to instill knowledge of you and our profession to the cadets. I tried and tried, but I could not finish. I was to emotional. I had to stop and let someone else take over.

But like in police work, when one of cannot finish the job, someone steps up and finishes it for us.

We have tried to step up and finish the job you started. I hope we are doing it right.

You are still missed so much here.

Merry Christmas.... Tell Jesus we said hi.

Seems like I think of and miss you more and more each year, especially as we start getting near the holidays. Ironically it seems the season gets longer and longer now-a-days since the Christmas music gets started around Halloween!

Jessica,

Dad and I, along with other parents across the country, released balloons today in memory of our sons and daughters that lost their lives in the line of duty. We each did it from our location of choice but at the same time. I had to work so I did the release from the office but Dad did his from home. Mine headed towards the west while Dad said his went to the east. Maybe they will meet in the middle somewhere. I wrote on the balloon but Dad tied a note to his. Of course, he had two batches with three balloons each so he could put a noteon his. I only had a lone balloon so it wasn’t going to hold any paper. More than likely, I would find it sitting on the ground somewhere.

It was such a nice thing to do. Each family holds their own type of traditions on occasions that are meaningful to them but it comforting to know that at a set time, parents in CA or FL or IL are doing the same thing. We are united in the memory and love of our children.

Love and miss you,
Mom

O Jess-

Still think of you.. I cannot believe it's been 7 years. I think all the time of what a hero you were that night. And I think of all the lives you influenced and the people's lives you didn't have a chance to influence. I get angry at times thinking how one man could have taken you so early. He didn't have the right to hurt you like that. It wasn't your time in my eyes and I desperately wish you were still alive. Still here. Still a phone call away. But I am also aware that God's plan for us isn't what we would all agree to.

I know this site is to reflect on your life and you. Truly amazing... I know people say that a lot when someone passes on or is taken from us. But you know I felt that way before. You were just one of a kind and I miss you. I'm still sad you're gone. People say that it gets easier. But I don't know that it's true. I just think life continues on.. We have no choice but to move with it.

And now moving forward I look back, and I think of you every single call. I think of how anything can happen. I think of you and it reminds me everyday to focus on my job. You remind me to not become complacent. You remind me to stay safe and be alert to my surroundings. You remind me to fight to stay alive in a world that is not always safe for us.

You remind me to love even when I think I can't.

I miss you-

Jessica, I did not know you personally, but got to know a lot about your through your friend Jennifer. She really loved you more than you could ever know and I can tell your loss has forever changed her. I've heard a lot of stories of your wild times at FSU. I have no doubts you were an amazing woman. Just look at all these people who come here to leave thoughts and remember you. You really left your mark on those who crossed your path in life. You are sorely missed. R.I.P.

Jessica,

7 years, it is hard to believe. We kept ourselves busy all day and way into the wee hours of the morning. We had a service yesterday at the Hazel Park Fallen Heroes Memorial and then went back to the FOP hall. For the service, we did the same as we did in the past at the cemetery but we also had a singer that performed Sissy’s Song. It was so fitting. I think we got home at four in the morning. We were surprised by the amount of people that came. We are fortunate to have such a strong support unit and there is no doubt that you have not been forgotten.

Love and miss you,
Mom
