Reflections for Police Officer JoAnn Virginia Liscombe
To the memory of Officer Liscombe---
~~~Touch The Sky --- Kiss The Sun~~~
Touch the sky and kiss the sun,
Let me see you smile…
Touch the sky and kiss the sun,
Soar up high just for a while.
Touch the sky and kiss the sun,
Let your soul be free…
Touch the sky and kiss the sun,
Love someone unconditionally.
Touch the sky and kiss the sun,
Let me take your hand…
Touch the sky and kiss the sun,
In time you’ll understand.

Each day I try to read the ODMP. Today I read your story. No officer who gives his/her life for us need ever be forgotton. You died a hero; rest in peace.

JoAnne was one of the happiest people I met in 31 years on the police department. She always found humor in the worst of circumstances and was good-natured in kidding her co-workers. She worked for many years as a public safety dispatcher before realizing her dream of being a police officer. It has been over 11 years since her death, however, she is still remembered by many. Godspeed JoAnne. You gave your all.
Det. Nick Statler (Ret.)
