Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I've spent the last thirteen weeks at the academy listening to other police officers telling me how important it is to be a "Warrior", as a cop! They're right! I had a warrior to look up to, and it was you. I hope I can be half the cop, half the man, that you were! I think of you and your family often. I sit in class and say to myself, "Whitey walked this campus. How priveleged I am to be here." When things ge tough, I remember your courage and determination, and press on. Thanks for being there for me Whitey. I don't think I could have made this far. I hope I can make you proud.

Happy Birthday honey. Wow 32. I know you would give me a hard time because I'm still older. Well it wasn't rock climbing and wings at Hooters but it was nice to see your side of the family. They all miss you so much.

I pray your wife has the strenght for her life. Please let her know you will always be with her, and lead her to healing. Watch over your children from above, playing with them in the sunlight and wind. Let them never forget what a great man their dad is.

Today was one of those hard days. Connor graduated from Kindergarten. You would be so proud of your little guy. He told everyone that when he grows up he wants to be a police officer. I know you want him to grow up to be a good man. That's the most important thing. I just want him to grow up to be just like you. I really miss you honey. Connor saw me crying and he told me, "mom I know why you are crying, you miss daddy. Don't be sad mom, daddy was there today. He was there in spirit." You know Connor has this great way to,(as I call it) slap the reality into me. He is just like you babe. He makes me laugh he just hasn't mastered the, oh my god my face hurts stop making me laugh laugh. You know the one. I love and miss you so much.

Hi honey. I wanted to thank you for the beautiful bouquet of flowers. I have never seen flowers so beautiful before. It sure was nice to see your beautiful face again. Oh how I wish you let me go with you. I know I couldn't. You could have kissed me on the lips instead of the forhead. What was up with that? I promised you I'll be here to raise the kids the way we wanted. There are no gaurentees on how they will turn out though. I'm going to alot of devine intervention. Remember how you would give me grief over not finishing anything I started (ie. the dresser). I'm going to finish through on this. It's going to be a little longer until I can be with you again. I can visualize the disappointment in your face...ha.ha. Thank you for sharing your mom with me. At one time in our lives I thought she was trying to kill me. Remember everytime we went to visit I got so sick? Now I owe her for saving my life. How can you ever thank someone for that? I am so grateful that your parents are here for me and the kids. It's weird. I feel closer to you when they are around. I miss you so much Eric. Each moment of everyday I don't know if I'm going to bust out laughing or break down and cry. Cinco de Mayo is coming up and it reminds me of our last one together. I start to get sad and feel as if I'm going to cry. Then I remember what you did and I bust out laughing. I thought only you would do something like that. Then when we found out Roberto did that too. Two peas in a pod. Hopefully one day we can tell Whitey stories and laugh and not cry. There are just so many stories. Ruiz sent me video from Japan. I'm so glad you shaved off that mustache thing. I now understand your attachment to that ugly white knit hat. Before you went to work and we were at the mall. We were at the bookstore and you were telling me that fishing story with Lynne, Chach, the guys with the pig. I remember when you did that. We were looking at the Frank Llyod Wright book. Do you know what I thought? I was thinking, gosh after all these years, I'm still learning something new about you everyday. I felt like that old married couple. Eric everyday I'm still learning new things about you. I hope that never stops and continues forever.
I hope people don't forget about you. Those who really knew you never will. I'm just afraid others will forget. Especially the kids. I'm glad you are still visiting them in their dreams. When they wake up they don't remember. Thank goodness they both talk in their sleep. So at least I know you were there.
Keep an eye on your mom and dad for me please. So they can make it back home safe.
Well your bench is finally done. I know you could care less. I haven't seen it yet. When I'm feeling better I'll go down there. I'm hoping your headstone will be here before your birthday. We never talked about things like this so I don't know if I did things right or not. I tried to capture who you are. Not just a police officer but everything about you. Sorry it took me so long to get you one. What can I say? Somethings never change. I'm still a procrastinator. Your dad calls me PIMA. He hasn't figured out I'm a pain in everyone's ass not just his.
Thank you for sharing your life with me and leaving me two beautiful kids. You always said we make good looking kids. They are a constant reminder of our love. As you wrote many times, our love will never die. I love you babe.
Good night sweetpea.

Eric another day goes by without. Nothing is the same. Nothing will ever be the same again. Oh how I wish you never went to work that Saturday. If only I stopped you. I miss every little thing about you, every minute of every day. I never thought a person could feel this much pain. It hurts so much. With each passing day the pain grows stronger. I don't know why I'm here and you're not. I would give anything to change places with you and to stop the hurt. I need you baby. I can't do this without you. I love you.

Eric,
I Love and miss you so much.

I only got the chance to meet you a couple times, Eric, but I know your parents and especially your father, Jim White (Whitey) from the Grundy County Sheriff's Department here in Illinois where you were born and raised. Your father was one of the main people who trained me and worked with me when I was with Grundy County, and knowing what a great guy he is, I am sure you were every bit the same. I attended your memorial in Coal City, and it was touching to hear the heartfelt stories from some of your fellow officers and friends in Phoenix. Just a quick note to pay tribute to you and honor your family.

Eric,

It's been 13 months since you were taken from us and I'm not sure the reality has completely set in even now. You are still thought of every day by so many. Please continue to keep our officers safe.

Eric...I thought of you today while I sat in another friend's funeral ... he was laid to rest and the funeral procession involved many emergency personnel vehicles......it brought back memories of you and Jason ... we miss you..

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Tonight, August 28, 2005 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Police Officer Jason Alan Wolfe and Police Officer Eric James White who died in the line of duty on this date one year ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Officer Wolfe's and Officer White's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I was watching the news in Arizona this morning and they showed the memorial that was held for you and Officer Wolfe. I think it is wonderful and such an honor that the communtiy continues to show their respect and support for two fine officers that lost their lives in the line of duty. I just moved here from St. Louis, Missouri and I will always be a strong supporter to all of our police officers in the United States. I lost one of my close friends at the beginning of 2004. He was doing his job protecting the steets of St. Louis when his life was taken at the age of 24. He has a son that was only 13 months-old at the time of his death. My heart aches for your kids, wife, family, friends, and other officers. I wish there were something I could say to make the pain seem a little easier, but there isn't. I just want your family and friends to know that I will keep you all in my thoughts and hope they can find peace sometime during this long journey.

To Mrs. White- I watched your segment on the news this morning and it made me so sad to see another family go through the loss of a loved one. I could not stop crying because it all came back to me when I lost my close friend on January 30, 2004. It seems like your husband was a great guy and an awesome dad to his children. All you can do now is just keep his memories alive and continue sharing stories with your children. It is so sad to see your two children grow up without their father. I'm sure you are doing a great job with the kids. Just remember that Eric is ALWAYS with you in spirit. You are never making decisions on your own; he is always by your side. He is now with God and is protecting you all from above. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Eric, Today is one year since you were taken from us. Each day gets a little easier, but the memories of you are still strong...you are never far from our thoughts and I don't think you ever will be...Each year it may get easier, but you will never be forgotten.

Colleen and kids, I am sure this is a very hard day for you and your family. I think about you often and hope that you have found some peace in all of this. Keep the good memories of Eric alive, and be comforted in the fact that he is still here, watching over you guys.

To the Family, Friends and Co-Workers of Officer White.

This song helped me through those rough days when my son was "Killed in the Line of Duty" and I hope that it will also give you comfort.

"I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOME DAY"

I remember our last touch,
But today that memories not enough,
To keep these tears out of my eyes,
To fill this void left in my life,
Though we may be far apart,
You will live here in my heart.

I'll see you again some day,
With open arms you'll come my way,
You'll be there at heavens gate,
And once again, we'll embrace,
Oh, I'll see you again some day.

Through the years I could always count
on you,
Up to the end your love helped pull me
through,
Knowing you have made me strong,
Through my life you will live on,
Missing you is not quite so hard,
Each day I will remind my heart,

I'll see you again some day.
With open arms you'll come my way,
You'll be there at heavens gate,
And once again we'll embrace,
Oh, I'll see you again some day.

God bless you and your family and may He comfort and keep you in His care.

Eric,

One of Phoenix's finest and always will be. You are missed so much by so many. I can't believe it's only been a year since you and Jason were taken from us, it seems like it's been a thousand years without you two.

Please continue to watch over your loved one and please make sure Colleen and your children always know you are with them everywhere they go and with everything they do. They are in my thoughts just as much as you are.

I miss you.
