I wanted to stop at your page and leave a reflection to let you and your loved ones know that you have not been forgotten and are a true hero and heroes never die. I know the pain and daily struggle your parents face as they awake and face each day. I know they, like myself, would trade places with you in a heartbeat so that you could be back here with your loved ones and working the dream you had, being a police officer. Your loved ones know there are no magic words that I can offer them to help them with their grief except to keep your memory alive and take one day at a time. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. I'd like to leave a poem for your loved ones and close friends that someone sent me recently:

Poem by Richard Fife:

No person is ever truly alone.
Those who live no more,
Whom we loved,
Echo still within our thoughts,
Our words, our hearts.
And what they did,
And who they were,
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

Your sacrifies that you made for the city of Wellston will never be forgotten. Making the ultimate sacrifice at age 21 with 2 years of service already at that young age is something your city will never forget. Rest in peace.

On the third year of your tragic death, I salute you. Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice. Rest in peace, my sister.

July 21, 2006

Kelli,
I find it so hard to believe that three years ago everyone was struck by your untimely passing. You are missed so much by all the people that you touched in your short lifetime. There is no a day that goes by that I do not think of you. I wear your memorial pin on my sash so everyone knows that you touched my life. Kelli, I know that you are in a much better place but i find it so hard to forget hearing the terrible news even three years later. Kelli I was thinkning the other day about my future and what I want to do with it. Kelli I am seriously thinking about going into law enforcement after I get my teaching degree. I want to follow in your footsteps.
I miss you so much Kelli!
Keep guarding the streets of heaven angel in blue!

There are no words to express the panolpy of emotions your loss has evoked. Though our contacts were only in passing, your quiet and demur exterior giving way to reveal your great wit and humility, is the way I will remember you, the man. Through your sacrifice, you will be remembered by many as a hero and I am confident positive change will come from this tragic incident. Know that your sacrifice will not be in vein.
May the roads rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sunshine warm your face
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

and may God care for and guide your loved ones though this difficult time.

It has almost been 3 years now kelli. We all miss you here in Wellston no matter how long it has been we will always remember you for 50 years... no 100 years... no FOREVER
May you rest in peace

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell

A WOMAN IN BLUE"

A woman in blue has lost his life in service of law.
The love that makes this sacrifice the greatest love of all.
A Police woman was killed today, the reason I cannot say.
I don't know why she had to die.
The women in blue died for me and you;
we must remember him too.
Flags fly low, let use bow in prayer
for fallen police women everywhere;
and remember this: that they are missed.
The badge burns bright like an evening star
free from a world of war.
