Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Six years ago today, we got the sad news of your death. Want you to know that we still miss you, think of you every day, and reflect on what a wonderful addition you made to our family. The older she gets, the more of you we see in Kristin. She has a lot of your facial expressions and is just as stubborn :) Tell her the sky is blue, and until she looks up and see's it for herself she will argue that it's a different color. We see more and more of you in her every day. All good things!! We love and miss you very much and you are never far from our thoughts.

I remember going to school and hearing the news that one of my good friends-Heidi was killed in a car accident. It was alot to take in becuase at the time I had dealt with so much pain with another close friend dying a week before that and than another on july 4th. Well it's been almost 6 years since, and for some reason your name still lays heavily on my heart. Here recently I was in an accident where a volunteer fire fighter lost control of his vehicle and hit my car. I stayed next to him till the emt arrived and he was taken away and later died. I don't know why you effected me so much. Maybe it's because you gave your life saving others and this memory of you in a memory of a hero. Just as I find this young fire fighter that died on his way to save lives. So I just wanted you to know-That even though we never met, you touched my heart. And you were brave and strong and I hope that I can be a selfless servant like you were. I'm sorry my friends didn't make the right desicion that night-and I'm sorry that this world has to suffer loosing someone who did such a great job making it better! To your family and friends-my deepest condsolences will always be with you!

I stop by here often and it warms my heart to see how many still drop by to leave reflections for my husband, so to all of you...thank you. Not only are you reflecting on his life and his legacy, but I want it to be known that you are also helping me...knowing that he is not forgotten, and that many still think of him is a comfort to me.
Justin...as always I love you and miss you with all my heart.

Ofc. Wollam,
We never met, but I felt your loss. I have clipings from the Fairbanks and Anchorage papers about your death and the memorial service. You, your family, and friends should know that the anti-DUI poster we created this summer is in memory of the seven Fairbanksans we lost in 2005 and you. Thanks to the folks at the ABC network in Anchorage showing the service live across the state, I have a videotape of your service. It was very respectful with shields from all over Alaska and others.

Every DUI I bust, I do so in memory of you, Andrew Coker (a local teen killed),and a little 8-yr old girl who was the first death in my emergency services career and in hope for every other person who is still here. We miss you.

Rest easy Officer Wollam, we've got it from here.
With all respect,

Do Not Stand at my Grave and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousands winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Justin,

I did not get a chance to know you, but I do know your parents. My dad, David Green, served with your dad in the DVFD. While working for the Danbury Police Department and living in town, I got a chance to meet your parents. I just wanted to say that they talked about you all the time and I know how great of a person you were. You are still a fellow Officer in Blue and I want to thank you for your service, protection, and may you rest in peace. Watch after us down here and to Beverly and WR, and the Wollam family, along with Justin's wife and family, my prayers are with you and may GOD bless you.

Every time I go to work, I have to pass by Ofc. Wollam's memorial. It saddens me to know that his family was robbed by a group of delinquent kids, and that his little girl has to grow up with out her daddy. To Justin's family, know that he is always looking down at you from heaven, and he will always be in our thoughts.

I can't believe 4 years have already passed - so much has happened. "Little" Bruce just had a baby boy last week, can you believe it? They nameed him Justin Logan. Bruce wanted the baby to have your name. "Little" Justin will have some big shoes to fill. Justin's aunts and his father will be sure to share stories about the cousin who he is named for.

Justin,

I remember the day that you were taken away from us. I didn't know you personally but your death effected me deeply. Having so many dear friends and loved ones out there on the streets every night protecting us, it is an everyday reminder the dangers that are faced without a second thought. You are missed and often memories of you are reflected upon in dispatch of your kind manner and radiant smile.

I visit the place where you were taken from us every summer to reflect, always remembering that my first priority is to take care of my officers and make sure they get home safe to their families every night. Though your life was cut short in such a tragic series of events, I often feel that you are still 34'ing all of us when we are most in need.

Thank you,

I was hoping that someone could help me reach out to Kristy or Officer Wollam's parents as I would like to send a token of my appreciation for his service. I will be employed in NC however I am originally from Anchorage. Every week at the academy, we honor fallen officers and I would like to send what I wrote (as I picked Officer Wollam to honor) and a gift to his loved ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Justin-I bumped into Kristy and Kristen a while back at the Dimond Mall. God, I can't believe how your little one has grown. It was all I could do not to break down into tears right there and tell her how sorry I was her daddy was taken away from her. She's her daddy's little girl, alright, right down to that bright, energetic smile. She'll probably be taller than me in a few short years (which isn't a tremendous feat in and of itself). We miss you in the weight room, some of us fatties could really use some "Texas Slim" inspiration. My own (Jacob, 5 and Connor 5 mo's) are a daily reminder just how precious life really is. I often think how unfair it is, but I suppose it's part of a plan much larger than my own little narrow mind can comprehend. You would have hit 5 years with us this year. Senior patrol officer Justin Wollam. I wish you were still here......I miss you, brother.
