Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Five months have almost past and it feels as though I will never heal. I can't believe that you are gone, but I am proud that you accomplished the one thing in your life that you always wanted to do. I never realized what an impact on my life it would be not keeping in touch with you over the years until you were gone. Thank you for sharing what you learned about your life with me last year. At least I know that you were at peace with us...you will be forever in my heart.

This was a day that I will never forget. The result of that day will be something that will forever be in the back of my mind thru the longevity of my career. Phoenix Police Dept. had already lost one officer, and now, it had lost two more. The sorrow and grief that I felt when I learned of the sudden and tragic deaths of both Officer White and Officer Wolfe will never be forgotten.

I just read some of the reflections for Officer Wolfe and I have to say my heart broke. I am so sorry that you had to face the holidays without the love of your life. The love of my life was also taken from me almost seven years ago so I truly know your pain. Please know that today I said a prayer for you and your family that somehow you may find peace in your heart. I too wish I could let you cry on my shoulder until you couldn't cry anymore. I know the tears, I know pain and it’s so overwhelming sometimes you think you can't go on. Just know you're not alone. You have a whole network of survivors here to help you through each hard and to one day help you rebuild your shattered lives.

Jason, my dear sweet husband. We miss you so much honey. We are so proud of you and what you did. You have such a proud little man here. It is unbelievable that four months has almost passed. We think about you all the time and thank you for watching over us and keeping us safe. You will always be the love of my life and our hero. Love, T and C

Officer Wolfe:

It's been a while since your death. But in my mind it seems like it's happened yesterday as I'm sure the community thinks the same way. As I watch footage of your funeral service in the archives, I can't help but think about the call on the radio and the two words that any officer hates more than life itself "Officer Down". Officer Wolfe your actions that night were extremely brave and as a former sheriff's explorer and a future police officer, I support what you and Officer White did based on the information received. I can honestly say that I would have done exactly the same thing you would have done despite how bad things got. When I heard about what happened that night over the radio and the tv, you have taught me the real reason why I chose to become a police officer. To protect and serve the community! Farewell Officer Wolfe!

Jason,

It's been another month without you and our first Thanksgiving without you. It was a very hard day, but we are all thankful for the time we did have with you. Everyone misses you so much. I know you are watching over us. Until I see you again...

November 29, 2004

I think about you every day Jason. It still doesn't seem real but each day that goes by and I don't get a text from you, the reality hits me. I miss you J.

Today has been 2 months since you were taken from us and I still miss you just as much today as I did the minute I found out that you were one of the 3 officers who was shot. I think about you every day and I can't wait for the day I get to tell you how much I've missed you. Please keep an eye on the rest of your fellow Phoenix Police Officers. We all love you Jason.

Before my husband left for work last night, he told me that there was a city-wide briefing he had to attend at which the department would be told about two officers killed in the line of duty. When he is unable to cope with something, his voice and facial expressions change. Although he knew that he would learn something that may save his life someday, I could tell he was not looking forward to facing the reality that two of his Brothers in blue had laid down their lives while fighting the good fight.
When he came home from work the next morning, he shared what he had learned with me. He wasn't sharing it because it was sensational news, he was sharing it because he did not know how to deal with the sorrow and anguish he felt over Officers Wolfe's and White's deaths.
It is the story every officer hopes will not be the last chapter in the book of their life. It is the story no officer's family ever wants to live with. While he was telling it to me, I strained to hold back my tears. I could only think of the families of these two brave men. I wished that I could hug them and let them cry on my shoulders until they couldn't cry anymore.
I have no words of wisdom; wisdom cannot console the broken-hearted. I do know that they are safe now. I know that no more harm can come to them. I know that they are still with the ones they love, albeit in a different way.
Dear families of Officers Wolfe and White, please know that you have the love of law enforcement personnel and their families everywhere. God bless you and keep you.

Jason,

I miss you. I can't believe it's only been three weeks since you were taken from us. It's going to seem like a million years, but I will see you again.

A Tribute to the Heroes Among Us

Dedicated to Emergency Response Personnel everywhere and F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Our hearts go out to you and your families. You’re in our thoughts and our prayers. Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough for men who are heroes when we need them, but invisible, ignored, and unappreciated when we don’t.

You rescue us, save our possessions, our lives and our families. You are the heroes among us. You are always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we call, we just expect that you will come and do whatever it takes to help us. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring. We show our appreciation with low pay, little respect, and indifference for the issues in your lives, most of the time. As young children, we want to grow up and be you until we get older and realize the risk isn’t worth the reward.

As outsiders, we envy you, secretly. You have benefits in your careers that our jobs just can’t provide. Your work is not the same old thing every day. You get the opportunity to be heroes every time you go to work. You obviously love what you do, and you’re a family. You have a oneness the rest of society longs for. You care about and support each other. You know each other’s families, share each other’s lives. The rest of us face life’s trials and tribulations alone. You are never alone. You have each other, always.

It is our loss not to know you better. This world, this country, your individual towns truly are better places because of you. To lose one of you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We should be grateful for and to you, and honor you regularly for all you do for us day in and day out without a word of thanks or praise.

We should be ashamed of ourselves; and yet, you continue to do all you do for us in spite of our behavior, which speaks to the people you are. How many of us are willing to do a job knowing we may not go home at the end of the day?

Maybe one day in the future, you will be recognized for all you do with better pay, and the community support and respect you so richly deserve. Until then, hang tough together, and God Bless You and your families.
