We are in mourning with our brothers and sisters on the Illinois State Police for the loss of two of your finest in such a short time, Trooper Brooke Jones-Story and Trooper Gerald Ellis. We can only imagine your pain, but we can assure you that your families, colleagues and communities will do all they can to help you get through it. We are all here for you. With sympathy and respect.

Gerry, I cannot believe it. I woke up this morning to a call from the district asking me to come in. When I heard it was because you were killed I thought I was hearing things. I don’t know what to say. May Jim and you find each other up there. A small class reunion of sorts. May God bless your family and we’ll try our hardest to do anything we can for them. We love you.
