Hey Jay-
Well we had Kaitlyn's 5th birthday party yesterday. She and all your neices and nephews had a blast.the only sad thing was that you weren't there.It just still seems so crazy that your gone. jerry just went through some stuff but if your up there looking down on us you know what it is but he's okay now.Christmas is coming up and it sucks really bad cause your not here. i remember that one year when jerry called holly's mom up and pretended to be tim and asked her what you got jerry cause he didn't want to get the same thing and she thought it was really tim and so she told and then when you gave jerry his gift he told you what he did and you just thought that was so funny and debbie was mad cause jerry tricked her. that was some good times and when me and jerry first started dating and we were kissing on my grandma's porch and you and tim drove by honking your horn and screaming "oh boodles" you emberassed the crap out of your brother. I just wish things were the way they use to be you were here and my dad was here. I'm a religious person and i'm having such a hard time understanding why god took you i'm almost angry.but i know there is a reason for everything. i just hate to see your brother so sad he hides his feelings behind his jokes but we try to remember good times and i guess that's all you can do.well i'll write again soon untill then watch out for my babies-but i'm sure you always are

love
katy and jerry and girls

Just thinking about you bro, we all miss you very much. Your killer was arrested and waits to go to court. We will be there when he's judged. It seems like the whole department has grown closer since your death,we're more like a family now than ever before. I'm trying to help Ronny through this, he's still dealing with your death as we all are but its tougher for him because he found you on the side of the road that day. Its funny, I was on patrol the other night and thinking about you and my car radio turned itself up from 1 to 11 and metallica was playing. Its never done that before, I like to think that was you.

hey jay-
I can't beilve it's been a whole year since your death.It still seems like it's not even real. jerry had a hard day as i'm sure your whole family did. we miss you so much jason your laugh and little pranks. kaitlyn is about to be 5 yrs. old and abby used the big girl potty for the first time the other day. for 16 months old she's pretty smart. you would have loved her to death she use to crack me up cause she would put both feet in the air and make farting noises. She is just so funny. i wish you would have gotten to know her but at least you got to hold her one time. kaitlyn is just as pretty as ever.she's doing really good in school. She has to take some speech classes cause she never started talking right. she asked about you all the time and even abby knows your picture and says "jason" but it's just so bizzare that it's already been a year. I know there is a reason for everything but sometimes i'm angry cause you were such a good person and you did not diserve this at all. we miss and love you so much. Your mom and them are doing okay. well jay i miss you bro ,no one else i ever met was as good of a listener and gave such great advice as you. i'm not really in the holiday mood cause of losing you and my dad but i have to go on for the kids and be strong for them. you will never ever be forgotten to anyone who knew you and your life is the perfect example of how one should strive for their dreams and work hard and not judge people and be there for others. you truly were a specail person and i'm lucky to have known you and my kids will always know what a great person you were and hopefully by your example they will follow their dreams and do something that makes a difference like you did.I never got to tell you this but i never had a big brother but if i did, i would have wanted him to be just like you and tim and in a way i thought of you as my big bro and i feel the same for tim. But even though it's been hard we are all doing better and starting to cope better with all of this, especailly tim and your mom. I could not imagine losing one of my girls. watch out for my babies if you can, i don't know how it works in heaven but if you can keep them safe and me and your jerry love you very much and miss you like crazy.

love always,

My thoughts are with your loved ones on this first anniversary of your end of watch. I know it has been a really tough year for all of them and I can't say the road ahead of them will be any easier. I want them to know that they are not alone. You are a true hero and heroes never die nor will you ever be forgotten. Keep watch over your loved ones, wrap your wings around them and help them with their grief. Also, keep watch over those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line.

My Darling Jason,

People say that time heals all wounds, but the wound in my heart will never heal. It's as if I've been transported back to December 5, 2005 when I received the initial phone call about your accident. Time stands still for me today. I can still feel the tears on my face, the palpitations and then the sensation of not breathing at all. Seconds turn into minutes, then hours, days, months and finally a year. A year that has been relegated to tears and an emotional unbalance that consumes my very being. When I get to heaven in the future(because I know that's where I'm going)and I see your handsome face, I am going to hold you in my arms like I did when you were a baby and I'm going to kiss all of the hurt away. I love and miss you so very, very much.

Hey Oliff,
I can't believe it has been 1 yr already, I still think about your crazy dispositions and the close patrols that only you would do ("the boonies keymap 655L"- you always gave the keymap for me when I 10-9'd you), I do miss you so hold down the fort until we get there to dispatch you to more calls...

Hey jay, haven't wrote you in a while. Well Jerry and the kids are doing good. the school is putting Kaitlyn in speech classes cause she's still not talking good but uther than that the teacher says she's a really bright and behaved student.abby is mean as ever. She's going to be a little prankster like you were.Jerry has had pretty steady work so far this winter. After we get our taxes we are moving back to Alvin. Jerry misses his family and i think it will be good for him and Tim to spend more time together.mandy got her drivers lisence, i know if you were here you'd be telling her that you were gonna pull her over and give her a ticket,just to mess with her. man, Jay it's almost been a year, can't beilve it. Things don't seem the same anymore. i know I didn't get to know you that long and we really didn't get to hang out much cause we lived far away but what i did know of you was precious. you were the best listener, always gave good advice, never got in people's business, best friend to everyone.it just sucks so much that you had to go so soon.well I'll write you soon

JJ,

The man that caused your death was arrested today. It doesn't bring you back, but it does bring some closure knowing that your ultimate sacrifice was not forgoten. Sometimes the wheels of justice moves slower than what we want, but as long as the job gets done that is all we can ask for. The Captain was not going to let this go. He had your back when you were here and he still has your back.

We love you and miss you so much. It is hard to believe it is almost a year..

Hey Jason,
We lost another brother in arms today and I ask that God welcomes him into the gates of heaven with you. Investigator Ryan Batson ended his tour of duty today. He will be geatly missed just like we still miss you. I have never understood why God always takes the good ones away from us but I guess he has his reasons. We will always honor both of you and will never forget the sacrifices that yall made. Rest in peace brothers....we'll keep fighting on until we're all together again one day.

Hey Bird,
Just thought I'd write a few lines. Well Jerry was working for Timberjack but he had a heart attack last week and died,so right now he's trying to find work. So if he's up there with you tell him -hey-. This has been such a bad year. I've been to about 7 funerals. But nothing compares to the lose of you and Billy. It just sucks so bad, makes me wish sometimes the Lord would hurry up and come back, so we can all be together again. All your nieces and nephews are doing good. Little Rickey is having his birthday party this weekend. He's so cute. Julian is crawling now. Kaitlyn is doing so good in school, she's learning so much new stuff. Abigayle is growing fast. Mandy was here this last weekend and Abby and Julian were fighting over toys, Jerry was picking on Mandy saying Abby could beat up JuJu and then Julian knocked Abby down and hit her,but not hard, it was funny though. And Little Jason is getting big. I haven't got to see him yet,just pictures but he looks just like Jessica. Tim and Emily are doing good. The police have just finished the investigation of the accident, so that will be going to trial soon. Which we know it was just an accident but the man still has to pay for his very bad judgement. It just sucks that someone so young and full of life,with everything going for him has to go so soon but I guess the Lord needed you more up there than here. Whatever the reason I know you truly are in a better place and are being rewarded for your never ending love you had for everyone you knew and everything you did.Well Jay, gots to go ,so i'll write you soon
love,
Katy and Jerry

Bird, its your brother Timmy. I am finally able to write you a letter without having a breakdown. well i got married on june 16th, it was a catholic wedding. it was really nice. Jerry and Tim Fox were my best man and Rab, John, and Brian were my ushers. we all wore tuxedos and i have a lot of pictures to show you when ever i get to heaven. You should have seen Emily, she was so beautiful bird. I couldnt take my eyes off of her, i was so entranced that i messed up on my vowels. It was the best thing that i have ever experienced. We went to mexico for our honey moon. We are going to go back every year, it was such a great experience. So how does it feel to be patrolling the streets of gold in heaven. Have you had a chance to talk to aunt brenda or go riding with Dale Earnhardt. I am buying moma a car, ive almost got it paid off. I just wanted to say that you have some great friends that are still looking after moma every chance that they get. I havent been by to see you in a while because i get all disoriented after leaving you. I did go by and baught you a snow globe with dale earnhardts car in it and put it buy your head. My life is not ever going to be the same now that your gone. You have always been here for me and giving me great advice. Even in your death i still can here your voice in my heart and i listen to you. well i am going to go now I love you Jason, see you in heaven =Timmy=

hey jay,
just thinking of you.Jessica is going to pop soon. She is naming the baby after you. fourth of july just passed and the only thing missing was you but I know your there in spirit. this is just such a nightmare, It's so hard to beilve it. I miss talking to you on the phone and getting advice from you. you always knew what to say to make me feel better. Losing my Dad has been so hard too. this year has been so depressing. But my Dad had a long battle with cancer and I know he is not suffering anymore and that gives me so comfort. Kaitlyn said to tell you that she misses her cop Uncle Jason. She keeps asking me where you are cause I got your picture hanging up. I tell her your in Heaven having fun and watching over her and we pray every night for you and your whole family, even Holly. Abigayle she's a mean little bully, you would have enjoyed her a lot, I'm just glad you got to see her one time before you passed. holly has a picture of the two of yal,so at least i have that to show her when she gets bigger. Kaitlyn is so excited to start school, and beilve me ,so am i. well Jay, we love you tons and miss you dearly and when Jess has the baby, I'll give everybody an update, she's due in August,so not that far to go. oh yeah, Mandy didn't get that car cause it didn't work out but she's trying to get something else. you would be so proud of her at how good of a mom she is and they finally got snapper in jail so that's one less thing she has to worry about but his parents pay his child support so she's okay but she wants to go to school so bad and get her own house and do it all on her own. But I'll let you go for know I'll talk to you soon

Love Always and Forever,Katy and Jerry.
