JIMMY
YOU WERE A LITTLE BOY WHEN I MET YOU, AND YOU GREW UP TO BE A GOOD MAN, FATHER, LEADER, BROTHER, SON. 3 YEARS AGO THAT ALL ENDED WHEN YOU WERE KILLED, IT LEFT AN EMPTY SPOT IN OUR HEARTS. NOT ONLY DID YOUR MOM, DAD, JOEY, AND I LOOSE YOU, BUT WE LOST YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT YOU WATCH OVER YOUR SONS. KEEP THEM HEALTHY, SAFE AND HAPPY. AND NOW FOR YOU AND JOEY AND JACOB "ALWAYS REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET-WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, NO MATTER IF YOUR IN HEAVEN OR SOMEWHERE HERE ON EARTH". GOD BLESS AND MISS YOU.

It will be 3 years since you were called away, I know those that love you think of you every day, every hour of that day. Wrap your wings around them and protect them from harm. I have met your Dad and brother at different functions, such wonderful people. We talk about you and my son when we get together sharing memories of two brave officers. Keep watch over them. You have not been forgotten and are a a true hero.

IF ONLY….

IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN I HEAR OF A BURNING HOUSE HOW FEAR RUNS THROUGH
MY BODY, HOPING, PRAYING EVERYONE WILL BE SAFE.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHENEVER I HEAR A SIREN, I PRAY. I PRAY FOR YOUR SAFETY AND
FOR THE SAFETY OF THE FAMILY YOU’RE GOING TO HELP.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN YOU HAVE TO TELL A FAMILY A LOVED ONE HAS DIED, MY
HEART IS SAD FOR THE FAMILY AND FOR YOU.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN I HEAR A SIREN I WILL BE THE DRIVER PULLING OVER FOR YOU.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW I THEN MAKE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS, PRAY AND HOPE EVERYONE WILL
PULL OVER TOO.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WALK IN TO A ROOM, IN YOUR UNIFORM, MY HEART SWELLS
WITH PRIDE AND I THINK OF THE LIVES YOU’VE TOUCHED THAT DAY
AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE YOU’VE MADE.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN YOU TELL ME STORIES ABOUT HOW YOUR DAY HAS GONE.
HOW YOUR TRIED TO SAVE A LIFE AND YOU DID THE BEST YOU COULD…
AS YOU ALWAYS DO.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW I CRIED WITH YOU.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW I’M SHOCKED AND SADDENED WHEN I HEAR HOW DISRESPECTFUL
PEOPLE ARE TO YOU AND TO THE OTHERS WHO SERVE AND PROTECT
THEM TOO.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I RESPECT YOU AND OTHERS FOR THE JOB YOU AND THEY
DO.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW EVERYDAY I PRAY TO GOD TO SEND HIS ANGELS TO WATCH OVER YOU.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW I WORRY WHEN YOU GO ON A CALL, PERHAPS A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,
NO TELLING WHAT YOU’RE WALKING IN TO.
****DEAR GOD KEEP THEM SAFE!****
IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW BRAVE I THINK YOU ARE BUT SOMEHOW I THINK YOU DO.

Thanks Jim.

Jim,

We now have a new law in affect to give police officers a better tool to go after Drunk Drivers with certain criteria now making it a class 4 felony in Illinois. I was appauled at the finding of not guilty in your case and have talked with members of your family. Unfortunately we are all Gold Star Family Members, a group that no one wants to belong too. I salute you for your dedicated service not only to law enforcement but also to scouting for your involvement in the Police Explorer Program. I ran a post for 11 years and know the time and effort it takes and its not done for fame, it's done because you want to teach young adults about law enforcement and open doors for them to a profession that one will not get rich from, but a career that comes from ones heart. You had the heart for police work and knew what it took. Say hi to my son Mike for me while you are on patrol. Keep watch over your family and wrap your arms around them to ease some of their grief. You will never be forgotten
