I remember hearing somewhere that grief was like a tidal wave. It hits you hard, knocks you off your feet. Slowly the waves get a little smaller... the grief becomes a little less consuming but its always there. Then out of no where, no matter how long it has been it comes back. It hits you just as hard as it did the first time. It leaves you gasping for air all over again. My wave just came. Just as I have in the past I will get back up and continue on with life. A life I wish more than anything you were here to enjoy with us. A life that I hope is at least making you proud. I love and miss you.

Heard the news and all I can say is “what goes around comes around.” Looks like for once justice prevailed in its own way. I hope the Donovan family can now have some type of closure for their loss.

Terry: don’t hate to find satisfaction in the death of the man who caused her death, because if he was a human being then he would have acted with sense in society instead of being a plague upon it.

Rest in peace Amy, I frequently think of you and your own. You are missed even by people who never got the pleasure of knowing you while you were here.

As most are aware the criminal that Amy was chasing the night of 30 Oct 2004 only received 4.5 years on a drug charge due to a foul up in the system....Amy's close friend Austin Police Officer Brian Thompson has since arrested Nicolas X. Jarmin on a drug charge and tampering with evidence. He was scheduled to appear in Travis County Court on Dec. 15th, but that date has been chanced to Jan.9th. We are hoping that The DA will push for habitual offender status in this case, so maybe....just maybe this criminal (Who had 6 previous arrest for fleeing on foot) can do some real time for the death of a Police Officer.
Please feel free to contact The DA at the below listed e-mail address...and demand justice for Austin Police Officer Amy Lynn Donovan...we will not be silent...we will be heard...we will stand together... Good against Evil...Amy deserves Justice and her family deserves some type of closure.

Thank you,
The Donovan Family

Amy’s family,

Although I have never met any of you, I look and I read Amy’s story. I think about the lives that she touched, the lives that she created here on earth, and the life that was cut so short. She was a shooting star whose light burned out too fast. I often read her story, and the story of so many others fallen in the line of duty as I try to begin my own career as an officer. You know the risks that you take every day, know that you could be wounded or killed in the line of duty…but you accept that risk with honor just trying to make this world a better place for others. Many people come and go in our lives, but you were privileged to know Amy for the short time that she was here. Make sure that you live your lives to the fullest, after all life is so short and precious.

Nothing can ever ease the pain you feel, but live on the love that you had with her and let that and her memories be your strength. Never give up and when it is time for you to be called home you will be together forever in heaven safe with God and you will never part again. I am sorry that Chase never got to know his mother. I am sure she loved him with all her heart and watches over him from heaven. I do not know what heaven is like, but I do believe that heaven is our true home and that we have not gone home yet. Our loves ones are not separated from us, but we are separated from them and they wait for us to return home to them. Sometimes it’s hard to understand why God lets such tragedies happen…maybe we are not meant to understand, but take solace in the fact that you will see her again.

I thank you for your watch Amy, for your sacrifice, and for trying to make this world a better place. You give me courage to not give up on my dreams. Thank you, Amy, your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

With Love,
Jessica

On your birthday I wished you were here. I couldn't do anything about it but I still celebrated your life. Tonight has made me realize how much I miss you. I think about you all the time...I remember thinking to myself that you would see all of us kids walk down the isle, have kids, and start our own families. I know you still will but it just hurts that you're not physically here with us. Things would have turned out differently, but I just wish I still had your guidance. It made so much of a difference. I just wish I could live up to my potential. I miss you so much, unconditionally. Please watch over our family. I love you with all my heart.

Terry,

Though I never had the honor of meeting Amy, I couldn't possibly forget her. She is the reason I became a police officer. When Amy was killed I was working my way through college as a security guard. I wanted to be a police officer but I wasn't sure I had what it takes, I didn't really believe in myself. When I heard her story and read her reflections it finally hit me...I had to swallow my fear and go for it because I owed it to her and every other fallen brother/sister to keep fighting for a better, safer world. It's not enough, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I will never forget, and I'll always keep you and your family in my prayers.

God bless you,

I'm glad they named a street after you in The Domain because it allows someone like me to ask "Who's that?" and find out it's a hero who should never and will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service and thank you to Amy's family for the incalculable sacrifice. Know that there are people you guys will never meet that will always know who Amy was and is and be grateful for her.

Amy....we all miss you so much...kind of bittersweet, but Brian arrested Nicolas Jarmin the other day with 2.9 grams of crack a 3rd degree felony and hopefully he will get habitual offender which should put him away for a long time...not the 4.5 he got by causing your death.

To OKLEO......thank you for always remembering Amy

Love you, Terry
