Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The tomb of Christ is but the bed
He rested on three days.
Easter morn He rose again,
The flower of our spring.
HAPPY EASTER

Crump I hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Heaven. Thank you for your wonderful life and that beautiful smile. I never realized how much the safety you all provided meant until it was gone. Unfortunately we all felt like Fayette was safe and then one saturday morning in June we all woke up to find out how sadly mistaken we were. Thank you Crump for everything I still wish you, ace and arnold did not have to pay the ultimate price.

Crump,
Well, here we go starting another year without you. I pray that someday it won't hurt so much. Thoughts of you gives me so much pleasure, thinking about all the laughter and sh** slinging at the jail....until I realize there aren't going to be any new times. I guess those of us who had the honor and pleasure to know you just have to be thankful for the memories we have......I miss you

Hey there my friend,
I know that it has been awhile. I just wanted you to know that I am still missing you, and you are constantly in my thoughts. I wish you were here for SO many reasons, just knowing that you were a late night phone call away meant so much. Hope you knew what you meant to me. Things are starting to look up in my life, and there are TWO things that I wish that I could share with you. But I know that you had a hand in sending me my biggest blessings in a long time. Stay in watch over me.
I love you still,
ME....4'11

Dear Crump:
It's Easter, and a new day. I know that there is hope beyond this earth, and love beyond anything that I can imagine. But you have had the opportunity to see first hand. I am safe in the knowledge that I will see you again someday, and I too will know love beyond love, and hope beyond hope. Until I can give you a great big hug, and see that beautiful smile of yours, Happy Easter. Please send a lil love my way.

My dearly beloved cousin. There are no words to express how much I love and miss you so much. The love you always showed me was immeasurable by how you used to babysit me, came to bring me a teddy bear when I had surgery at 12 years old, and how you fell into the role of my big brother when I lost my own. I can still hear your robust, room filling, contagious laughter; I can still feel your strong arms around me when I miss you; and when missing you becomes unbearable, I close my eyes and relive my most cherished memories with you - all the barbeques, new years parties, and after church on Sundays when you, Tony, Phillip, my brothers, and sister and me all would go to your room to practice Kung Fu on each other! Thank you for all the awesome love, care, and support you've given me. I know you and Michael are having an awesome time in Heaven! I LOVE YOU!

It breaks my heart to read the words and emotions that come from both those who knew you and those who didn't have the privilege of meeting such a hero. May God provide strength to your loved ones and let you wrap your arms around them. RIP sir.

I missed sending you my Christmas wish, but you certainly were in my thoughts, as you are daily. I looked at my two boys on Christmas morning,and thought of a son that was missing his daddy. I know that I am so blessed to have my family around me. You were truly a great person, father, and friend to everyone. HAPPY NEW YEAR in heaven. I will see you again some day. Miss you.....

Love you,

It is almost Christmas day. I am so thankful that I took so many pictures of you, and I remember the moment I took the picture they have on this site. I remember saying, "Come on James YOU'RE a MOVIE STAR now give me a BIGGGG SMILEE !!!" I was always wanting a big smile. I was pretty goofy sometimes wasn't I, ha ha. Now I must profess your passing has changed me, and I am doing what I can to help others. I know that you are in Heaven with our God and I hope that He hears my daily prayers. I know you would get up early to be with him Christmas morning. I pray that God surrounds him and comforts him during these hours.
I am also thankful for such a supportive, dilligent, and upstanding police department where I currently live which is currently going through their own situation so smoothly and bravely. I am proud of you guys!!
The rest you can see straight into my heart from heaven. Merry Christmas Sweetie.

A friend is someone we turn to, when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone we treasure, for our friendship was a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives, with beauty, joy, and grace. You made the world I live in, a better and happier place.
Miss You

My wife and I would like to send our deepest sympathy to you Shani, also to the friends and co-workers of Corporal James Eddie Crump. Thank you James, for your years of service and dedication. We all share in the loss of losing one of our own. May God Bless.

Dear James,
My stomach is in knots. I made the mistake of picking up the newspaper. The article on the cover grabbed my attention. It covered the trial of the police officer that was shot to death here by an illegal alien. James, I know I should have put the paper down. I know now how he tried to put his hands up to put a stop to the exchange of gunfire after his weapon jammed.
I turned the page to see the tears in mother's eyes, and the pain in his wife's eyes as they sat in court. I found myself to be angry again. How could this happen again?
Thank goodness I got to talk to a couple of my police officer friends today. They got me to laugh at myself, and to realize that it was ok to be angry about the situation. I am not the alone in this. Anyone who reads this please pray for this officers family.

God Bless
