Your passion and work will not end with your life - many will be saved because of your sacrifice. You touched so many in your short time on this earth - you will never be forgotten. Your Sheriff said it best, "you're home"...your family (blood and blue) are in my prayers! Godspeed Jessica.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Jessica was killed.

To the Hollis family, fellow deputies, and all who call Jessica beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Deputy Hollis gave to her community and the citizens of Texas, and for the supreme sacrifice she and her family made on September 18, 2014.

Jessica was more than a co-worker to me, she was a friend! She would put aside her own issues to help someone deal with theirs. There was no better wing eating or drinking buddy! I will miss your laugh Jess!!!

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Senior Deputy Jessica Hollis and the extended law enforcement family of the Travis County, Texas Sheriff's Office. Rest in Peace sister and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

I have learned how very dangerous the roads can be during a flash flood. I learned this from Senior Deputy Jessica Hollis. She was trying to keep us safe. Grateful and heartbroken.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

I love the fact that Jessica's memory won't be marred by the manner in which she died, but in the honorable manner in which she lived her life! She was an AMAZING woman, mother, Deputy Sheriff, and Public Safety Diver...her truest gift was her infectious positive mental attitude and the many ways in which she could make you laugh with her or...sometimes at her!
