Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

You were a true warrior and you saved my life that day. You will forever be in my heart. I will forever remember and honor you. Rest in peace until we meet again

We have now reached our 13th year without you. My mind can't believe it's been that long but my heart tells me otherwise. We will make it through today just as we have the past 12, with the love and support of family and friends.

Love and miss you always,
Mom

So much has happened and is happening that I wish you were here to cry, celebrate, laugh and just talk about with us. That pretty much sums it up.
Can't believe so much time has passed- I'm sure like everyone else it just seems like we were laughing and singing along with the radio. You are so missed but I appreciate you watching over all of us too. I know I've probably given you an ample share of eye rolls, head shakes and sighs- and a ton of laughs. I just wish I could see them again. I hope you get a lot of laughs too. Miss ya Jess.

Today you would be turning 39 years old. It's so hard to believe. I can't help but wonder what your life would be like if you were still here. Would you have blessed us with grandchildren to add to our current family? Would you have a girl that looks just like you or boys that are tall like Matt? We will never know. The only thing I do know is how much you are loved and missed every day.

Love and miss you always,
Mom

Christmas Eve 2014- this is how Dad and I feel especially during the Christmas season since you were taken from us

Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on string
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing
I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't want a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows
'Cuz all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree
You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cuz all I want for Christmas is you


You have been the angel on top of our tree since 2002

Love and miss you
Mom

I am reading the book "On Combat." Your story is recounted as a lesson in the will of the true warrior. The need to not give up. We should all strive to be as committed as you were. You are missed and never forgotten officer.

I know it's been awhile since I have been on here but it's not because I haven't thought about. I still think about you and miss you every day. Today is Thanksgiving so the beginning of the holiday season. We will be going to the cemetery on Sunday with Matt to put out the grave blankets.

Sending a big hug and kiss to you

Love and miss you always,

Been awhile but just checking in to let you know we are always thinking of you, even after 12 years.. wow. I can't believe its been that long. It seems like we just spoke yesterday.
Finally got to TN and I can see why you loved it. We even stayed in Rm 523... see I knew you were there!
It was a fun trip but let's just say you were definitely thought of and super missed. Hope you are enjoying getting ready for Christmas up there with everyone. Definitely one of the harder times of year, but good to know you aren't alone! Love and miss ya

Jessica, i remember watching you grow up and as you grew into a young woman thinking how well you had turned out. I was always proud of you. I miss you,

I thought I posted a correction that it's only been 12 years, not 14. No matter what the length of time has been, it's been too long.

Love and miss you

12 long years and I still remember that horrible night like it happened 5 minutes ago. Not a day goes by since that you have not crossed my mind. You watch over me and all our friend, brothers and sisters in blue on every shift. I say hello to you every roll call before heading out. You are inked on my arm and tattoed on my heart. I will share the memory of you with anyone I meet, The kind and special soul that you are. Miss ya sis.

Dear Jessica:

Though you never knew me, you've had a major impact on my life. I was asked to become a Chaplain for the Hazel Park Police Department following your EOW and it has been a very rewarding experience. Over the years I have become close friends with your family and your colleagues in the Department and I have you to thank for enriching my life!

Today we will celebrate Mass for you (as we do each year) and will hold a prayer service for you at the Hazel Park Heros' Memorial followed by a luncheon in your honor.

Please watch over all of us in the Hazel Park Police Department and put in some good words for us where it counts!

Always in our hearts!

So your Mom is losing it! It's not been 14 years, it's only been 12. Not matter what the length of time is, the truth is, you are no longer here with us but rather, watching us from above.

Love and miss you,
Mom

One week from tonight will be 14 years since you left us. It's hard to believe that it's been that long. No matter what the calendar says, it seems like yesterdsy. I still can see you growing up and each milestone in your life from birth, graduation from high school, college and your wedding. Sometimes I think we talk about you as if you were still here.

Love and miss you,
Mom

So finally got a new car and Jo Dee Messina came on... Can just picture us breaking her in on a roadtrip, windows down, singing at the top of our lungs..
I know you really will be there in spirit when I do make that trip, but wish it could be another one we did together.
Miss ya today and always!

Jessica,

I rode in the Police Unity Tour this year to honor your life and the sacrifice you and your family have paid. This is my second Unity Tour and while there were trying times, the thought of you and your families sacrifice was always on my mind. I arrived at the memorial to your mothers big smile. She is a wonderful lady. Rest easy.

Just got back from Police Week in DC. Missed a few of the events because I had to leave early but I was able to meet to wonderful LEO that rode in the Unity Tour in your memory. What a wonderful and emotional moment it was when they arrived at the Wall! Several of the department came in on Tuesday so we could all attend the Candlelight Vigil together.

You will never be forgotten!

Love and miss you always,

Merry Christmas Jessica! While this year has been different from our family's traditional celebration, you were missed. I don't think we will every get used to you being gone.

There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven. Spend the day with them one more time, give them one more hug, kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again. One more chance to say I Love You!

You have been gone 11 years today and I would love just one more time with you.

Love and Miss you
Mom
