Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It made me so happy to have you in my life, but now I'm miserable. I can't stop crying. I go to the cemetery and talk to you all the time, but I just want you to say something back to make me smile. You were always the person who made even the darkest things look so bright. Now there's noone to do that. This world will never be the same without you. Noone will ever take your place. I miss you so much, Jeremy. I love you!

As I read all of these messages, I realize just how lucky those who had the chance of knowing you were all along. As I look back through my life, you were such a constant - from St. Elizabeth to Assumption and laughing with you our whole Senior Trip, on to Paincourtville Club and a million funny stories... to leading adult lives and always talking and laughing each time we saw each other. You even made an impression on my little 4 yr old daughter and I'm so happy that she was able to know you, even though, for a short time. The great memories are endless, and I am so thankful for them. I think about and pray for you and all of your family every day. They are some of the sweetest, generous people anyone could ever meet. I will continue to miss you and probably cry a lot but I know that you are safe now and watching over us - and smiling...

Jeremy, I can't think of any words to express how much I miss you. I wake up every morning and look at your picture. I cry at least once every day. Most of the best memories of the past involve you. We had so much fun together. I remember all those mornings when you would come visit at 6:00. You always woke me up, but I didn't mind. I loved being around you. I was grateful for any time I had with you. You were just an awesome person. I love you and miss you so much!

No one knows the hard life of a police officer except those who live it. RIP Sgt Jeremy Newchurch.

WE'LL CARRY ON

We kiss our families goodbye and most of us go out into a world that few of you will ever see or know anything about. Statistics show that over half of us will one day come home to an empty house with a note saying "Goodbye, I can't take your job anymore."
But We Carry On

We know we have a job with one of the highest divorce,suicide,and mental illness rates in the world.
But We Carry On

You curse us when we stop you for speeding; you weren't there two hours ago when we covered the body of a three year old child, killed by a speeding car.
But We Carry On

We'll intervene in fights and take the beating meant for you, knowing that you wouldn't do the same for us and probably won't even thank us.
But We Carry On

We see families wiped out in accidents. Then we listen as the person who did it is fined $100 for drunk driving and given a limited driving privilege so he can get back and forth to work and Church on Sundays.
But We Carry On

The uniform is not armor. It won't stop bullets, knives, bricks, or sticks. We have gone into burning buildings, burning cars and icy waters to try to save lives. Some of us lose our lives in the process.
But We Carry On
We are part mediator, problem solver, professional driver, weapons expert, guidance and marriage counselor. We are part analyst, lawyer, fireman, and doctor, and somtimes boxer and wrestler. Does your job require this much and sometimes even more? I doubt it. We know all this.
But We Carry On
We're not expected to be the one thing we all are - Human Beings. Sometimes though we forget and act like one. We get angry, we say or do something we shouldn't. Please forgive us. But if you don't,,,,
We'll Carry On

A Policeman's Prayer


Dear Lord, be with me on my beat
This day and every day.
Grant that each weary block I walk
May ease a brother's way.


Let me be kindly to the old
And to the young be strong,
But let me triumph over those
Whose acts are cruel and wrong.


And when my own last summons comes
And I stand in Your Court,
Lord, may my rest with You be long,
My punishment be short.

Jeremy,
I don't really know you well at all but it seems as though I do. So many people would talk about you before and after your death but never anything bad just about how you were a great person and friend and that you could always make people smile. You touched so many peoples lives in life and in death. I think that that in itself is the greatest legacy of all. God bless you and your family. You obviously were a wonderful person.

Jeremy, I hope you can see all the wonderful things people are doing in your honor. There are softball games, golf tournaments, and all sorts of fundraisers to raise money for the "Jeremy Newchurch Memorial Fund". You are still on everyone's mind and in everyone's heart. We all love you and miss you so much. The world will never be the same without you in it, but the memories help us to feel a little better. I am so grateful for the moments I had with you. I replay them in my mind everyday. Love you always.

Tonight while placing stuff from my husbands situation in scrapbooks and photo albums, I decided to watch COPS, followed by America's Most Wanted. I just wanted to let you know that you were honored on tonight's episode of America's Most Wanted "In the Line of Duty" tribute.

God bless you, your family, friends and co-workers. May you continue to keep watch over everyone from above.

I can't stop thinking about all the wonderful, crazy, fun times we've had and the moments when no one else was around and you would say the sweetest things to me. I love you so very much.

I wish I could say it's getting easier, but it's not. It's really starting to hit that you're not coming back. I miss you so much. You are always on my mind-and you always will be. There are so many things that I wanted to say to you,but it's too late. I'll love you forever. I look forward to the day I can be with you again.

Streetfly, Still miss you buddy. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I keep thinking of all the fun times and funny things you did. Sometimes I just cry at the most random moment thinking about you and the fact that you are not here anymore. I know you are still watching over though. I love you and miss you so much!!!
