Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My dear Jules…

I can’t believe 10 years have passed since I last saw you. In a way it seems like yesterday, but then again it seems longer. Strange how this grief/loss process works. I miss you so much. I came across this yesterday….

I thought of you with love
today but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.

I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and
your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping.
I have you in my heart.

I love you. You’ll forever be in my heart.

While driving home from a trip to the south, I happened to travel over Julie's memorial highway. Not being from the area, I googled her name to see who she was and what had happened. Four hours and many tears later I have finally finished reading all 22 pages of reflections from her family, colleagues and complete strangers. I am a 26 year old girl still looking for my way in life and reading about Julie has changed my outlook on everything. I will live a life that I am proud of so that I can leave this world with even just 1% of what Julie has left for all of us. She seemed to be, to understate it, an extremely remarkable woman. Please know that even 9 years after her death that she is still making a positive impact on the world. May god bless you all.

My dear Jules…
Your life has touched more people than I’ll ever know. Today, there was a woman that came into my office for business. As she was getting ready to leave, she looked at your picture on my shelf and asked if that officer was the one that was killed a while back. I told her, yes and that you were my daughter and it has almost been ten years. Big tears came up in her eyes and she proceeded to tell me of the encounter you had with her one day in Chattanooga. She said you told her that she was better than the trouble she was in and her mother hadn’t raised her to be this way. She said no one had ever really talked to her like that before. I told her I was so proud of you and that you had been such a blessing. She said you were a blessing to her too. Your words had changed her life for the better.
Thanks for being such a wonderful daughter and caring police officer.
All my love…

As I read these reflections, I have a ripping feeling in my heart and a flood in my eyes that I am holding back. I never met you, but you inspire the hell out of me. In a weird kind of way, I hope that I am picking up where you left off everyday that I put on this uniform.
Thank you for watching over us.
I look forward to meeting you....

I remember when this happened. I was just a student in a CJ degree program. I thought about this before entering Law Enforcement. You are an inspiration. I know that bad things happen, but for some odd reason, I remember thinking about this career path. You were so beautiful. If I take anything away from your story, it is to never ever let my guard down. Thank you for watching over all of us in Law Enforcement. You are a hero!

Julie, another great officer from the CPD went to be with the Lord on 4-2-11. It brought back so many memories of the day you went to heaven. Chattanooga has lost two of it's finest people ever. I guess with all that said, I just wanted you to know that you are not forgotten!

Today another brother in blue from CPD was taken from us by a coward with a gun. This brings back so many memories of the day you were taken from this earth. I never new you but I am part of the law enforcement family from a neighboring county. My heart broke that day as it is today for the family of an Officer who was just doing his job. Rest in peace Julie. Welcome Tim with open arms and show him the ropes of the new streets he will now patrol.

My dear Jules,

Today is your birthday. I'm sad because your life was cut short and I miss you so much. Now, finally, I smile more than cry when I think of you. You left me with so many wonderful memories. I was truly blessed having you for a daughter and friend. We'll celebrate together some day soon.

All my love,

Julie I think of you so often and we shared a love for Willie Nelson, "you were always on my mind" "angel flying to close to the ground" "on the road again" well here we are in the holiday season and this is my first time to send a message on this site but I didn't want to pass up the chance again so I will end with I miss you and you were such a special young lady. Funny how I just realized it was this time of year I first met you, your step-mother is my sister. You were blessed with a great family #1 and family#2 but we all were blessed even more that we knew you!!! I get comfort by knowing I will see you again some day my dear friend/family.
