Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Anne Jackson,

I did not know you personally but from all that I've heard and saw at your memorial service you were loved and respected more then you know. Growing up in a law enforcement family and going into the force myself seems to make the loss of your life hit closer to home. It pains me that Skagit County is morning the loss of an outstanding Deputy and a wonderful woman. My prayers and thoughts are with you, your family and friends, and your brothers and sisters in Skagit County. You have set a very high bar for the rest of us and I make this promise to you that I will do my best through out the academy and my career to be as courageous, honorable, intelligent and compassionate as you were. Godspeed Anne.

Anne,

We know death is not extinguishing the light; it is the lamp being turned off, because dawn has come. Eternal life has started for you with God, now you are on his patrol shift.

Rest in peace sister.

Anne,

I met your cousin after the funeral yesterday. Your family are strong and healing but you have left only good memories. I wished I had the opportunity to work with you more but everything I saw was nothing but professional. It was a great celebration of your life and you would have been amazed to see the number of law enforcement officers from all over that attended. Annette did a great job at your eulogy. She is so right on when she said, "we will hold the line".

Rest in peace

A Part Of America Died,

Somebody killed a policeman today,
And part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
And spend many long lonely nights.
The beat he walked was a battle field too
just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
In your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And stands at each new rookies' side.
He answered the call,of himself and gave his all,
And a part of America died.

We will keep you in our prayers and know that you will be in a place where you can shine like all of the rest of these angels.

Deputy Jackson
Rest in Peace Sister and tell my Son-in law Josh Norris EOW 07/05/2007 hello and have him show you around. My prayers are with your family during this dark time, but you will have your day, a day that you richly deserve, too many police cars to count, with lights blazing and sirens screaming escorting you. Hundreds of your brothers and sisters will stand at attention saluting you and the citizens of your community will shed tears. A 21 gun salute will sound out in respect for you and heart numbing Taps" will be played for you while your family receives a flag. There will not be a dry eye left from both your family and police family near and far. Saint Michael the chief of police in heaven will greet you at the pearly gates and welcome you to Saint Peter's district. You will never be forgotten and your strength and courage will live on to inspire every new deputy that takes up the call of the profession and your sacrifies will be remmebered through out the nation with every police officer. You got the call, you gave your all, and it was more than enough. So prop your feet up and take a load off up in heaven and keep an ear to the radio so that when another of our families number is called you can meet them at the gate with a cup of coffee and a smile. Oh and put in a good word for me, I like the evening watch and make sure my boy Josh is not sleeping the time way.


To the Family of Deputy Jackson
Your complete family are in my families prayers during this dark time. My family is just starting to make it thru a lost of our own with the death of my future son in-law Josh Norris. Anne was taken to early and should of have had more time with you guys. I know words at this time will never stop the hurt, but know your daughter is not far from you, she is the whisper in the wind, that feeling of being hugged when no one is there, she will always be at your side watching over ever accomplishment and catching ever tear that you guys shed. What has helped my family and may help yours, remember your love ones laugh, her smile and all those things that are unique to her, since they are truly what made her. She is a true hero in every sense of the word and your police family extends it arms to you, if this one from Louisiana can do anything do not hesitate to ask. God bless you and may he give you strength.

Anne,
You became a sister in the badge when I meet you at the police academy. I saw you accomplish your dream the day that our class graduated. You have done your duty Sister. Rest easy. Your fellow sisters and brothers wear a badge for you everyday and will continue to do the job that you loved so much. You are a true warrior, a shield between good and evil. You fought like a warrior with STRENGTH and HONOR! You are my hero. Until we see you again know that you live on in our hearts.

Godspeed my sister..I pray that he brings peace to you, your family, friends and your Skagit County family.

It's always a sad day when a police officer is killed in the line of duty,but when it's an officer from my state it stings just a little bit more. It's a little more personal.
Thank you for service to the citizens of Skagit County and this fine state. God Bless You.

I'll always remember Anne for her passion, dedication and commitment to whatever she undertook in her short ife. Anne was intelligent, confident, determined and she always gave 100%. She was an accomplished equestrian and my very first riding instructor. Anne took me to my first Dressage show and guided me through the challenges of being a new and very green horse owner. She taught me a great deal and I am so thankful and honoured to have known her.
