Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the best brother in the whole world. I miss you more than words could say. I know Mommy is with you now and you guys had an amazing reunion with the rest of the family. You taught me so much during the short time you were here. Everything I am is because of you and Mommy. Because of you and our Almighty God, I will endure as we prepare to lay Mommy to rest on Saturday. I take comfort in knowing that I will see you all again one day. And that you are sitting with our Father.

I love you with all of my heart. I still remember answering the door that dreadful Friday night when your fellow Troopers made the notification. I had no idea why they were there but Mommy knew. You had prepared her. Just as you were always looking out for others. Enjoy Mommy, we sure have for all these years and I trust I’ve made you proud of the woman I am.

The anniversary of your death is always a sad day no matter how many years pass, but this one is really heartbreaking due to the recent death of your mother. She endured so much sadness from losing you and four of your siblings, but she always loved and honored the memories of you all. We lost her two days before your anniversary and from this day forward we will remember how you and Edna Jeffries positively impacted our family.

Love,
Jamillah Stewart

I never knew Officer Simmie Jeffries but I live near that area and I have always wondered who he was. I know he can't see this but I want to thank him for all his service.

Simmie Lee: Your memory still lives on. Your legacy shall forever remain as we were recently contacted by the State Troopers Office and the City of Athens will be renaming a bridge in your honor. To God be the Glory. Your family go there and will witness as we shall all stand tall and receive this deserving honor in your memory. Rest in Peace.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
