Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hey brother, had to get on here let you know whats going on. Today I went see Kevin at Brauns. I took my gear down there, the company that is making your monument for the wedge in town was there. He needed pictures of your coat, pants, boots and helmet. Since they did not have your FD boots, Kevin was going to use his. But relized that you had leather boots and that just would not work. ( You know real fireifighters wear leather boots). So I took my boots and pants to them. While we waited for the guy to get things set up,I picked up your helmet. And what did I see, your saftey hose, so if you ever ran out of air you could use this. And also the picture of all of us in New York, it was the picture from Times Square. I stood there and held it for about 5 mins, just thinking of that trip and everything else we did together. The thing that stuck out the most was that I will never get that chance to do those things again. It was a once in a lifetime trip, and you along with 7 of us did it. You forget how short life can be. I think of you every day, and wish things would be differnet. But we can not change what has happen. All we can do is NEVER FORGET the things we had. Watch over us, I know you are. As Always, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN....

Jeremy, There was an article in the paper saying this years Backstoppers Guns n Hoses event, dedicated in your memory raised more money than any other year, including 9/11. I hope we made you proud. You are missed daily by everyone who knew you, and we are never going to forget.

I hadn't talked to you in a while and wanted to check in. I still think of you every day. You are still and always will be missed. Everything is coming together for the ceremony in Washington DC. Everything will go well I am sure. I will talk to you later.

You have not been forgotten. I know your loved ones have thought of you every hour of every day since you were called away. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You are a true hero and heroes never die. I hope justice is served in this incident as people who have not lost a loved one in the line of duty, have no idea of the many broken hearts left behind and the dreams that will never happen. You will never be forgotten.

Jay, just really missing you today. As you know there are alot of decisions being made in the family just be with all of us and guide us. Nico is doing fine, she made a trip to the vets office last night for a cut ear. They glued it back together and gave her some antibiotics so she is good as new. She has put on another 5 pounds but I am really working on her diet now. Tommy has done a wonderful job with your website, it looks so good you would be proud. I wish that you were just out of town and coming back soon. I hate this so much. I am just missing you so much. Just know how much I love you and care for you. Denise

Well today is New Years Eve, I can't believe we have to start a new year without you here. I also can't believe it has been eight months since you were taken from us. Try and look out for all of us this year, I know it is a big job but do your best. Mom is coming to stay with the kids tonight you know what that means....At midnight they will break out the pots and pans for the New Year Parade. Remember that as a kid??? I went to Chris' the other day and seen Eyck. He is such a beautiful dog. It is kinda warm today so Nico is enjoying the great outdoors today. I send all my love to you Jay, I miss you so much. I cry everytime I get on here to write to you. Lots and lots of love.....

Jeremy,

Everytime I get on here it breaks my heart. This year the holidays were all just way too different. My heart goes out to your family now more than ever. We were on our way to South County last night and were talking about you and then this song came on the radio. It was called "The holes in the floor of heaven", I started to actually listen to the words of the song and it reminded me of you. One line in the song said, theres holes in the floor of heaven and rain was pouring down, thats we know your watching wishing you could be here now. Not even 10 minutes after that song went off it started to sprinkle. That was my sign that you are always with all of us, no matter where we are or what we are doing. I just want you to know how much we all miss you and life really just isn't the same without you here. It's still hard for me to drive around the corner to see you house. I still think one of these days I am going to see you out there playing with Nico. Madison still asks about you all the time and when she puts her T-shirt on she wears it so proud. She says this is my uncle Jeremy's shirt. She is still way too young to understand any of this and it is still way too hard for Chris and I to try to explain any of it to her. But we promise we will never let her forget you. She will always know what a wonderful person you are and how much you mean to everyone. It amazing how you are only one person and what an impact you have had on so many people. You were and always will be a true hero. We will never forget you and will continue to think and talk about you daily. Keep watch over your family and all these guys down here. It's New Years eve and we all know that you will be with us to keep us safe.

Happy New Year Jeremy, I hope your having the time of your life up there in heaven. We love you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jeremy. Me and Cris were driving past Moto the other day and saw the flowers and such had been removed. Cris was so upset that someone had removed everything but the cross. I am glad that Mark called us and told us about the monument that Moto placed there for you. Cris and I stopped the next day and looked at it. Cris was very happy with the new monument. We both miss you very much. Look over your family as I know they are having a rough time.
