Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

JRod....
3 years, just doesn't seem possible. Be close to everyone this weekend, and let them remember the warmth of the good memories, and feel your constant presence in our hearts...

Jeff and I will be in Vegas, getting the "heck out of Dodge" for the weekend....I think it's a fitting way to pay honor to you, by taking the time to enjoy the good things in life....remembering all the GOOD times.
So bring us some luck at the slots and tables!!! (Your coin will be seen at the Poker table (for sure) holding Jeff's enormous stacks of chips in place!!!) Don't worry, we'll choke down a shot of Jack for you like always.....I KNOW you were laughing at me last time!!!!

***Please give my Dad and Kirstin a hug for me, as I will be thinking of them and missing them too this weekend and ALWAYS!!!)
Remembering you EVERYDAY,

Happy Birthday J-Rod....
Thinking back to memories of birthdays past, I am reminded of a couple of my favorites....The Flying Monkeys birthday card you once gave me will always make me smile (especially your comment about my cooking---although I never remember you NOT eating anything I cooked!!!) And when Jeff gave you your knife for a bday gift one year---you were so macho trying to open it, that you cut your hand in the process----so typical Jared!!!!! And of course, your 30th birthday, none of us will ever forget your smiles that day, and all the laughter (again---typical YOU) Then I'm reminded of the last time we hung out......you came over on Sunday to watch the race with Jeff. He was in the shower so I went downstairs to wait with you....just hanging out, shooting the sh*t like always. But I remember the brightness in your smile as you talked of Natalie and the kitties,(the pic of them on your phone) you were like a little kid so excited about listening to the drivers in their cars. Something so simple as us hanging out having plain conversation, at the time seemed like nothing special to either of us, but now will stay with me forever.
Time passes, the world continues to spin, we still miss you and think of you everyday---always will. Please continue to visit us often, reminding us of the good in the world and beyond this world.....

Hi Honey,

Today is your 33rd birthday. You may not be with me physically but your Spirit is. Oh how I remember Feb 5th, 1976. I was the first to see you as you entered this world ... arms stretched straight out, only half delivered from your Mom ... screaming your head off. It was an indication that you couldn't wait to get on with your life ... to make your mark. My precious son, that is exactly what you did. And what a mark you have left. Your memory, your legacy is strong, will never end, and you - you Jared - continue to so positively affect and influence so many others.

I was your age, 33, when God so blessed me, and allowed me to be your Dad. The joy, the indescribable joy you have given and continue to give me is what carries me through these past three years, minus 17 days.

On this day, know that you are loved and missed ... not just by me but by thousands.

Love you, Son

Love you Jared,

Dad

On the eve of your birthday...Thank you for sending a "message" or two thru others, namely from Mer,Liz and one of your crew who reminded me you are not in the things of life but in our hearts, wherever we are, whatever we do. I am especially thankful for your brothers and sisters in blue, teammates, comrades, mentors, theatre family, and your buddies and their families who have continued to be a reflection of your love and support. Love you always - Natalie

Jared -

Words cannot convey how very much you are missed.

I remind God each day to give you a hug for me. Honey, can you send one my way as life without your bright smile is terribly hard.

I love you Son,
Mom

Jared,

Although you have left this world, you continue to show me ..."how to live." When I feel weak while facing these major challenges, I remember your work ethic, your striving for excellence...NEVER in a self-promoting way. When I look in a mirror and see my face set like flint, I sometimes remember your smile. I need to do that more often, because that smile always lit up the environment you were in. As Father Pat said at your Memorial Service here in Illinois, you, while you walked this earth, were wonderfully purpose-driven. You my son, my precious, precious son continue to provide a blueprint to follow for my remaining days on this earth. If I could be recognized as 1/10th the man you are, it would be a most worthy accomplishment.

Your life, most truly, is a gift to this world.

On this Christmas Eve, as you live in the very presence of Almighty God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ... know that I love you, miss you.

Love you son,

Love you Jared,

Dad
