Officer Adams and Family,
Please know how sorry I am. It is still so painful thinking of that tragic day. My family and I still pray for you, your family and friends. I wish I could have been in Lehi honoring you August 4th when they had a ceremony in your name. Your story is not over, not by a long shot! Your sacrifice will not be in vain. There are many things God still has in store for all of us. Thank you Joe for your service. I look forward to visiting the park named after you the next time I visit Utah.
Until then....

Today marks 10 years since Joe was killed in the line of duty. It has been a significant day for our family - as a park in Lehi was named in his honor. We will never forget him, and the importanct part of our family that he is.
His young son represents all that was so good in Joe.
We appreciate so much all those who still remember him and honor him.

I was just posting a bunch of mission pictures on Facebook, and there you are with your beaming smile and face full of zeal. I sure do miss you buddy.
If any family or friends would like to have a copy of these pictures just look me up in the Davis, UT phone book.

A day of reflection as another year has gone by. A void still remains in our hearts, but we hold dear the wonderful memories of a life that was full and one that we learned so much from. We will always miss Joe. We will always love Joe. We pray for all officers of the law as they continue to serve and protect us. We are so grateful to all of you.

Today marks the ninth anniversary since you made the ultimate sacrifice for your fellow man. I can only speak for myself but time has done little to numb the loss of a good friend, taken from those closest to him far too soon. Maybe one day the sting will no longer be, but maybe it isn't meant to leave those that serve the public in uniform, maybe we need that sting to remind us of the dangerous realities of our chosen careers. We need to feel the sting of those lost from our ranks to keep us dilligent in our duties and our safety. I REMEMBER, I will never forget you nor your sacrifice.

Joe...as I read these comments when I'm thinking and praying for you and your family and friends...I am still so amazed at how treasured you are! Your story continues to effect others...man I wish I could have met you before all of this...I have to wait until I'm in heaven to get the pleasure of meeting you. You have FOREVER changed my life in amazing ways...I am now a follower of Christ because of you and your incredible family! Your loss will never be in vain! My our Lord continue to move mountains! I am so sorry I haven't been strong enough until now to finally leave a comment. God continue to bless you, your family and your friends...
