Hi there Julie,
I have been getting together baby pictures for Jenny's Sr. yearbook. As I was shuffling through boxes of photos, I found some adorable pictures of you as a baby and little girl. I am making a huge collage and memorial to you. Then, I will smile every time I look at it, remembering how precious you were and are to me. Keep an extra watch over Barry who started patrol duty this week. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you forever. Judie

Dear Julie Jacks:
I am amazed at the impact you still have beyond the
grave. I have never met you, but I can never forget you.
You are my sister in Christ and I look forward to meeting you one day. Where would we be without the
hope of resurrection and an eternity of love, joy and peace with Jesus? Thanks for impacting our lives in
such a positive way! The name of Julie Jacks is music
to our ears and hearts! God bless you, sweet one!

Jules,

This has been a summer unlike any other. The greatest thing I can do to honor your life, sacrifice, and memory is to love. I have found my life purpose. I have learned so much from your example. You would be so proud of your sisters, they too have learned a lot from you!

Your Dad noticed the joy in Ethan's face at your sister's wedding ~ that day I saw the same joy in his face and it meant a lot to me. Continue to keep your angel wings around your family and your Blue family.

Forever Grateful!

I never knew this lady, but I know her Mother...and the pride she has for her little girl; well, not really a girl, but a woman. An officer that was there when needed. She stood in the gap. What more can a person do in this life?

Julie,

I feel like you are someone I knew. Just by reading the reflections, I've come to see what a terrific person you were. I too, work with law enforcement and I think that's where the connection is. Being a part of law enforcement, you become family with others, not just within your own community but nationwide. For some reason, I always look up your name, maybe, it's because I share the pain as we lost one of our own not too long ago (5years) but sometimes it seems like only yesterday. I just want encourage others to stay strong. Our love ones are in a peaceful place, oh so wonderful, looking down on us. God bless you all.

I never knew Julie Jacks, and i am not an officer. But i am engaged to a Chattanooga Police Officer, and when we moved into our apartment (about 6 months ago), i found a picture of Julie and memorial that the police department gave to the officers. The second that I found Julies picture I immediately framed the picture and it is now on my fireplace with plants all around it. Then i began to ask officers about Julie to learn more about her, she sounds as though she was a very brave officer. I pray for the family of Julie, and think about her weekly whenever i see her on my fireplace, she will never be forgotten. She is my hero, she put her life on the line so that the citizens of this city could remain safe. I'm sure that heaven is a more pleasant place with her there. Julie and her family will remain in my prays. Kristin

I was reminded today of the horror and grief I felt the day you were killed. Your death left a hole in the community. I will keep your family in my prayers. May God continue to hold them in His loving hands and give them the comfort that can only come from Him.

Officer Jacks:

I wanted you to know that I visited your name at the wall in Washington this past week and reflected on your sacriface. I follow your story closly and my heart rips out for your mother every time I hear it on the news. May God bless and wrap his loving arms around your family and keep them extra safe.

My deepest and most sincere respect

I wanted to stop and leave a reflection to thank you for your dedicated service to law enforcement. I wish I could offer some words to help comfort your loved ones but there are none. All I can say to them is that you are a true hero and will never be forgotten by those that love you nor will the Blue Family ever forget you. Keep watch over you loved ones and protect them from harm, also watch over those still out on patrol. Wrap your wings around your loved ones and help heal their broken hearts.

Julie, I knew you before you became a police officer. we worked in medical records together and all you wanted to do was to join the academy. I saw how nervous you were with the psycological exam, and when one of the recruiters came to interview our office manager about you. You paced up and down the hallway. We were all nervous for you. There was never any doubt you would succeed. When you got into the academy, we were so happy for you. We hated to lose you as part of our group, but we were so happy for you.

You talked about Ethan all the time like he was your own child. You loved him so much.

I went to the candlelight vidual held for you. There were so many people there. Friends, family, fellow police officers, etc. The place was packed. Julie you had to have been smiling down on everyone, knowing that many people showed up that night because they loved you.

You are missed so much. You have been on my mind lately, but my daughter came across this website tonight. How strange it happened to be the anniversary of your death.

We all miss you Julie.

Love, Debbie, Chattanooga, TN

I bet Pop Pop is drawing cats for you in heaven. It is comforting to know that you are all together. I love you. Judie

I saw your picture at the wall several years ago and I was touched by your story. I find it fitting that they are cleaning the memorial this week in Washington on the anniversary of your passing. I hope that your family and friends find peace.

I've been meaning to come back and leave a reflection for a while now. I was walking downtown today and I saw a car parked by a church. It had a cross and a "In Loving Memory" sign on it, so I hurried before the woman left to see what the name was.. It's was Julie's. They also had the badge number on the vehicle. I can't believe it's already been so long, yet still seems like yesterday.. Julie will never be forgotten.

I know that its coming up on the 3rd anniversary of your death. I never knew you, but my academy class was the first one Chattanooga PD had following your death. We did our best to remember you through our work ethic throughout our time in the academy. After meeting your mother and Bobby, I know that you must have been a truly special person. Our lives will always be filled with your memory. May our class always bring honor to your name. I pray for your family and know that you will be watching over us in the presence of God.

Julie,

A T.V. special aired today about Dolly Parton and I remembered how we listened to her when you were a little girl. Precious memories...

I love you. Judie

I was a police officer for 28 years and have served with many fine officers. Even before her death, I bragged on Julie as the finest officer I had ever worked with.

She worked for me on Fox midnight and was at the bottom of the seniority list. This meant that every "crap" assignment that came along went her way. Julie never complained and was always quick to reply with "yes sir"
I tell of her each chance I get and how she would bail out in the middle of the projects and chase guys twice her size. Julie was fearless.
I nominated Julie for Rookie of the Year and I was so proud of her whe she got the award. She was truly the best and brightest we had.
I have known many officers that were killed in the line of duty over the years but none have had the effect on me that the death of Julie has had.
Julie has joined the heavenly ranks of police officers who have passed and I am sure is a stand-out in God's Heavenly Police Force. There is no doubt in my mind that she has received her second Rookie of the Year award and looks down on us with fondness and memories of the good times she experienced with Fox Team.
My prayer is that God be with the officers that you left behind and that God give your Mom and Dad comfort.
