Jake,

It's hard to believe that is has been 7 years since your were taken away. I miss you as much today as I did back then. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about you. You touched my life in a way no one ever did before and never will again. Just know that I will never forget you, miss you sweetie.

Love LuAnn

Jake,

There still isn't a day that passes that I don't think about that night and day. I will always remind people of the sacrifice that you gave to ensure the safety of the community and fellow officers. You are an amazing person. Since this day life has taken many challenges and has given me many blessings, I married and have given birth to 2 beautiful daughters. I have seen pictures of your daughter, she is beautiful and I know you are so proud of her looking down from heaven. Jake you will live on in our hearts. To, Jakes friends and family: although I never met Jake when he was alive, I know from the stories that my dad has told me and friends and family of his that i have met, that he was an amazing man. I want you to know that I am always thinking of him and will continue to tell others and remind them that he is a true hero. God Bless you all, I pray that God wraps his arms around all who loved Jake and who were effected by Aug. 18th and helps them to continue to heal and find peace in their hearts and souls.

Jake, your amazing father took me to lunch today. I thanked him for raising the finest man I've ever met. Knowing you were the happiest times of my life. You chose me to be in your life, and buddy I will never forget the way you make me feel. I think of you and smile, however, there is a hole in my heart that never will heal. You'll always be a part of me. I miss you Jake.

Someone close to you stopped at my son's page and left a nice tribute and I wanted to return to your page and do the same. My son left behind 3 children, two were close to the age of your daughter when he was killed in 2004. They remember many things about their Dad and I do everything I can to tell them stories about their father from the time he was a child up to adulthood and the things he did. I have a hard time sometimes because his youngest son is a clone of his father. Same smile, physical movement, facial expressions etc. It's like seeing him all over again as a child. I ask that everyone that knew Jacob, keep his memory alive and stay close to his loved ones, especially his daughter. Jake, continue to watch over all of your loved ones and close friends, protect them from harm. You will never be forgotten as love of someone lives forever.

Like many others in Indy right now with Officer Moores death... I have been thinking about you! I saw your mom on the news the other day... I haven't talked to her in years. I think about her and Mike alot and pray they are doing well. I'm glad you will be sitting by the pearly gates waiting for Officer Moore to arrive. I love and miss you. Always and forever Jake... Always and forever!

Jake...I know its been a while that I have written on here, but there is never a day that passes that I dont think about you. I miss you so much. The past few days have been like reliving the nightmare of your death. I feel the pain that Officer Moore's family is enduring. I dont understand why you had to be taken from us so soon! Jake I love you and miss you so much, I am awaiting the day I get to see you again!
No words can describe how much the whole family misses you!
Love you always! <3 Amy

Unfortunately Officer Laird you are about to be joined with one of your IMPD officers shot by a *$#@*)$ that was released by the DOC in error.

Pave his way for him. You'll all be in our prayers.

Happy Birthday! I woke up this morning wishing I can call you to wish you a happy birthday... To see what you would have liked to have done today... I'd give anything to have one last day... Just one. I should be happy that you are up in heaven... I'm just still really sad... I guess God wanted you up there more . I am trying to find solace in that.... Happy birthday babe! I love and miss you so very much!! Forever and always!

Although I never met you, I know and love three people who did. Six years later, I still have stash of what I call "Jake stickers". This year on August 18th, I drove home a new car, and made sure we placed your sticker on it so that Indianapolis will never forget that horrible day.

Thank you Jake for your service to our country and our city. Thank you and all of our fine officers.

You will not be forgotten.

Hey there, well here it is 6 years from the horrible day you were taken away. It sure is hard to believe that is has been that long, cause there are times it seems like only yesterday. I think of you everyday ... maybe because someone says something on the radio at work. Or you just cross my mind for no particlular reason. Keep watching over us Jake, and know that you'll never be forgotten. I miss you ... LuAnn
