Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

What can we say it has been over a year now. Well first we had a wonderful time in D.C. honoring you. We now have a park that was name in your honor and your "CHEF" and I will have something to show you once we meet again. As you know you have a new partner in crime with you of Deputy Brandy Winfield. Please show him the ropes and try not to tag at him as much as you did us. Have fun and play nice.

In my 22 years as a cop, I've lost five fellow officers, but I can't imagine losing one of my kids. To Kelli's family, please know that God holds a special place for those who give their lives in the service of others. Your pain will turn to joy someday. God Bless and Keep You Always.

Kelli,

You served your community and paid the ultimate price. Rest now Officer Lambert. Your work here is now done.

YOU WILL be reunited with your family in the future. Untill then, like your mum said, save a space.

Words can not express how much sadness is left upon my heart today. Today, July 21st,2004 marks one year that you have been gone from us. Kelli, I know that you are not far and that you are watching out for us. Today, I just sat at your final resting place, and cried. I cried for everything. Your family, friends, Scott, Zoey, fellow officers, but most importantly, You! Kelli, you are missed by many. You touched so many lives, including my own.I hope you are watching out for us all and that you are protecting us from above. You are deeply missed and not a day passes by that I dont think of you.May God Bless You Angel in Blue. I love you Kelli!

I never knew Kelli but felt compelled to leave a reflection as I was looking through the list of 2003 Police officers. My fiancee Police Officer Daniel Starks died on October 25 2003. I thought It was interesting that like Kelli, he was 21 and his badge number was 311..not too far off from Kelli's which was 211 if I am correct.

I don't have anything to say that would make any of this any better for Kelli's family or her fiancee..all I can say is that I pray everyday for these families and I want you to know that she, nor any of these officers will ever be forgotton. My prayer is that she is up in Heaven with Daniel and that they are watching out for us down here on Earth.
Take care and May God keep you in his care -

Kelli, We visited Washington D.C. this
week. It was a very sad but honorable
trip. We are all so very proud to say we knew and loved Kelli Lee Lambert. You will live in our hearts forever until we meet again in heaven. Everyone
in Washington was so sad from missing a loved one. I will pray that God can help all the families that have had their hearts broken from losing a loved one the way we have all had our hearts broken. I realized in Washington we are not alone. So many people are in our shoes. So Kelli I know now you have a new cop family with you in heaven. I
know you are happy now no more sorrow
and no more pain this world brings. I
just hope someday the pain gets easier
down here on this earth. Rest in peace angel. We all love you.

Words can not express how much you are missed Kelli. I think about you everyday and I thank God for giving you to us, even if it was for a limited time. You touched the hearts of so many here in Wellston. Whenever I am driving uptown, I always end up passing a cruiser, and by the grace of God, I always see In Memory of Kelli Lambert. You are missed so much and I just wish to see your smiling face again. I want to tell you thank you for all that you have done and for making such an impression on my life. Because of you, I am considering going into law enforcement. Rest In Peace Kelli!

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

I just finished reading through the eight pages of reflections for Officer
Lambert.I wish I could be in Washington this year to hug her family
members and co-workers, but I will be unable to attend this year
because my daughter is graduating from college - a Criminal justice
Major, on May 15th.

My heart goes out to Kelli's mom, dad and family and Scott, even though
I do not know any of them, the hurt is still there. Comfort each other and
help each other and be there for each other. To the members of the
Welleston PD, my thoughts are with you at the loss of this fine young
officer. Honor her in Washington and shed a tear for her then, it's OK,
really, everyone there feels your loss.

Peace

Kelly I think about you most everyday, and a lot of the time I find myself stopping by to check on your resting place. It still doesn't seem real. I don't get to check on your mom like I would like, but I keep her in my prayers, and its hard because you can see her pain and I feel so helpless and don't know what to say. Kelly I hope you will help me find the words you knew your mom the best. I have seen your smiling face in a lot of cruisers, desktops. computer screens, that smile still brightens up a room, and still makes us feel sad we miss you you touched so many lives in such a positive way you did your mom proud, not to say the good Lord!! I can't imagine your mom's pain, she loves you so much, so while your looking down on all of us, take special care of your mom, little sis, and brother, and help me find ways to help because I love and care for you and them also. Miss you but I know your on patrol and helping keep us straight.

Kelli, I just saw your story on ODMP, and I have to say you are a beautiful woman. It is sad to see such a cute girl like you die, especially when you were trying to help somebody else. May your name never be forgotton. My next basketball game I will have your name on my shoes in memory of you. Rest In Peace.

Kelli-

I can't imagine the loss your family feels going into the holidays. It is obvious that your family and fiance cared so much for you.

As a fellow officer, I would like to thank you for your dedication to such a dangerous job. I hope that you are enjoying Heaven, as I am sure it is so perfect in everyway.

I hope for peace for your family as my Christmas wish. I know you are watching over them and protecting them from above. Unfortunately you had to leave life early, but I am glad to hear you made such a lasting impression while you were here.

Kelli, as the holidays approach, it doesn't seem real that you are not with us. Not a day goes by that I don't wish we were still together but in my heart we always will be. Kelli, please look over all of us and keep us safe as we try to protect the comunities that you were always so proud to work for. Kelli, I miss you very much. Please help and look over your mom during all of the holidays to stay strong even though it feels like there is nothing left to celebrate. I will love you always and forever.

"OUR BLUE CHRISTMAS"


The holiday season is now here,
but for our family there is no cheer.
We've lost a loved one we loved so dear,
One who loved this time of year.
She always had a cheerful smile,
One that stretched a country mile.
She could brighten up a dreary day,
With all the things she'd do or say.
If our family could wish for
just one present this year,
Everyone knows that she would be here.
It doesn't seem fair to anyone,
Why she had to leave at twenty-one!

We Miss you Kelli and our hearts may never mend,
But our love for you will NEVER end.

We Love You,
"You're Our Angel"

Kelli,
Well what can I say it has been 5 months since we lost you. I know that the force really misses you a lot.I sure do. I miss seeing you patrolling the streets and hearing the stories of another prank you have pulled. I recently had a conversation with Scott and he is in so much pain.May God bless everyone in your family. May you continue to serve and protect Wellston and other neighboring police depts. You sure are an angel in blue. May God rest his hands upon your families' shoulders. I believe you are in peace now and that heaven has gained an angel but Wellston has lost theirs. I await the day in which you will greet me at heaven's gates, with you special smile upon your face. Rest in Peace Kelli Lee Lambert.

Kelli, we just had our first Thanksgiving, in the last 22 years, without you, and I gotta tell ya it has been a very bleek and sad day, and I expect Christmas to be twice as bad. You would think the tears would be dried up by now but they still flow freely EVERY day! I love you and miss you more than anyone could ever imagine possible. You were my sunshine and without you here all of my days are bleek and sad. I've decorated in blue this year in honor of you, but even that made me cry. We would be getting ready to take our big shopping trip about now, we always had soo much fun, now I can't stand the thought of even going into a store. While I am grateful to still have Zach and Katie, and love them both soo very much, I still have this huge void in my life that nothing can fill, I just feel dead and empty inside like a robot going through the motions of getting through one day at a time. The only consolation I can find is knowing that you are in heaven with papaw and Jesus and that I Will get to see you again some day, but I'm still human and a selfish mother that want's her baby back NOW! Oh Kelli, I miss you SO MUCH!!!! I pray daily for the safety of all your fellow officers, and if the truth be known I'd have to bet you are still right out there with them, only you've traded your wheels in for wings so you could cover more territory. I hope they all know each day when they put on that uniform to go to work the've got a "little blue angel" sitting on their shoulder watching over them! Life for me can NEVER be the same again, but one things for sure, in the short time you were here, with your dedication to your job and your kind and loving ways, you certainly touched alot of lives and made a very big difference to an awful lot of people. We will all cherish the time we had with you. Sweetie, you will NEVER be forgotten, not with that big sunny smile that could light up a room and that crazy sense of humor that made you so much fun to be around. Kelli, when I lost you, I not only lost my baby girl, I also lost my BEST friend, but you did leave me with an awful lot of wonderful memories that I will cherish ALWAYS! Baby, you're in my heart and on my mind EVERY single day. I just hope you know how very proud I am of you and how very very much you are missed and loved!! Save mom a place in heaven sweatheart, we'll be together again before you know it. I LOVE YOU KELLI, WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!
