Deputy Marshal Josie Wells,

Thank you for making the decision to protect and serve our country. It seems as though you lived your life with purpose and a love for God. You did your part here on this earth and for that you are honored and loved by many.

Your wife will always be in my thoughts and prayers because on any given day I could stand where she is standing. I am also the wife of a U.S. Marshal. The strength your wife showed today made her my hero. Just know that long after the phone calls and visits stop at the homes of your wife and loved ones I will still be in prayer for their strength and courage to continue your legacy. May you Rest in Peace.

As the family prepare to celebrate and rejoice in the life of DUSM Josie Wells to include the grief that accompany a tragic loss. I wanted to extend my deepest condolences, prayers and sympathy to the family and the entire US Marshals Family. I found myself being reminded of a similar tragic loss involving Norman Sherriff in 1971. Norman reached out to younger deputies and I had less than one year of service and was one of those young deputies that Sherriff mentored. May God grant peace upon his family and co workers.

I pray that your friends and family will know God's peace during this time of loss. I pray that you are truly at rest and you know that your family...both the one your were born into as well as your extended blue one, will watch, provide for, and protect your wife and child that were left behind. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, nor was it in vain Brother.

Remember-

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Josie, God granted you an opportunity to live on His Earth for a short time, but you completed many big things. You graduated from the public school district in your hometown, college, law enforcement school, married the love of your life, and became an expecting parent for the first time. Many pople live longer than you and never accomplish this much. We, your family, are very proud of you. You passed away doing something you loved.

May God rock you in his arms for eternity because he has reclaimed his son.

Rest in Peace, Josie

Sincerely,
Katie Blair
