Reflections for Police Officer Jason Alan Wolfe

Why does it continue? Young men just starting their lives and then something horrible happens....they lose the battle with evil and have to go away forever. All these young men with families left behind. Wife, children, mother, father, brother, sister - all left behind to try and figure out what to do next. You were so young and so full of life Jason - just like George. I feel confident that if he needed you to meet him at the Heaven's gate, you were there with your smile and handshake ready to help him transition. You were a brave soul here and I am sure you are an even braver soul now. All of us, your family and friends, miss you! Things can never be the same without your humor, laughter, smile, knowledge, to name just a few. You will always be our hero!

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Jason, I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and missing you. I think of you quite often and just never get here to tell you. Keep a close eye on your mom and brother, I know they miss you terribly. Not much to report, just wanted you to know, you are not forgotten. Stay strong and we'll see you in the next life.

Your watch ended 8/28/04. Two years later to the date, I would raise my right hand and be sworn in as a Police Officer. Such a selfless act to serve, such courage to care. Rest easy Officer Wolfe, you're never forgotten.

Honey,

Thank you so much for being an inspiration for me. I followed a long time dream after you had to leave and it is giving me such satisfaction! I could not have done this without knowing that you would be watching over me and lending a helpful hand whenever you could. I actually had a media news release sent out and received national recognition for my work! I am still amazed over this. When you left us, I looked through all of our photographs and realized that we did not have enough of our time together documented in a way to show our little one (even though there are hundreds of photographs). I knew that I was never going to be able to capture your handsome face in another photograph and see how you would look at 30, 40, or even 75. This still upsets me so much! I took this idea and turned it into something that I hope helps other families capture their loved ones. I should know, you NEVER know when your husband might not come home. Every day is an absolute blessing and although we did not take advantage of it before, I am surely trying to do that now. Besides, how can I not capture our little one's craziness on a daily basis? I know, I know...You always said that our little one was going to grow up just like Daddy...Boy, were you ever right! Dimple and all my sweetheart! Thanks again for being a wonderful and supportive husband Jason. I really could not have accomplished so much had it not been for you and knowing you were behind me every step of the way. I love you now and I love you always. I will meet with you a warm wet kiss at heaven's gate my darling but until then I will settle for seeing you in my dreams.

I love you!

Hey Baby!

You already know...we lost another officer in Arizona this week. He was young...I thought twenty-seven was young for you. If I had lost you earlier...I could not imagine. I am thankful for all the memories that we were able to share. I was looking at all of my pregnancy photographs and delivery yesterday. I remember you curled up in the delivery because you were soooo tired from the long wait. I laugh about it now but I remember thinking, "What? You're tired? I have been in labor all day and you need more sleep?" It still makes me laugh now as I write to you. I am looking at your picture and smiling even more. That is a FANTASTIC memory that I will always have with you honey...and one that I can share as our baby grows up and has a turn in the delivery room. I love you and I wish no other officers had to leave here...watch over us baby and keep us safe.

My love - My life - My Jason

Hi Sweetheart!

Happy Valentine's Day! It is another day that we celebrate without you...we wish, every day, that you were still here. We sent out kisses to you this morning and had a great time talking about Daddy! I guess it is really not very different from all of our other days, is it? I love you. We love you. Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey baby!

Happy Birthday Baby! I know it will be posted the day before you birthday but I did not want to have it post after your special day. I wish you were able to be here for our special family celebration. Our little one and I will be singing away for you...Hopefully it won't sound to off-key. We will be sending you our presents and love all day (that really is not to different from our normal days). I know that you are with so many family and friends and not spending your big day alone...I just wish we could all be together.

I love you now and always.

Hey baby,

I just read this and wanted to post it for you. It holds a lot of meaning for us and our lives. I love you baby!

"Good Man"

I remember the first day
I met you
we were so young
you were a blessing
and there was no guessing
you were the one
Love is so crazy
We had a baby
and said our vows
That's when you told me
should anything happen
I can hear you now
You told me

[Chorus:]
if the sun comes up
and I'm not home
be strong
If I'm not beside you
Do your best to
carry on
Tell the kids about me
when they're old enough to understand
tell them that their daddy was
a good man

First anniversary
remember we
chose a star
And as i stand under it
I can't help but wonder if
You see it where you are
For whatever reason
You don't see the seasons
Change again
Go there with peace of mind
We'll meet on the otherside
Cause true Love don't end
and baby

[Chorus]

Two eyes looking up at me
Pointing to a picture like where is he?
Mamma are you OK?
What did the paper say ?
To make you cry that way
It said your Daddy lived for you
and your daddy died for you
and I'll do the same

[Chorus]


-You are in my heart and I know that I am in yours. Until we get our chance to be together again. I love you Jason.-


XXOO,

Your wife

Jason,

Hi sweetheart! I am sitting at the computer very late tonight and had you on my mind. This year you would have turned thirty years old! I cannot believe it...I remember how I used to hide all the birthday decorations for your big day so the little man and I could decorate the whole house while you were at work. I would stay awake as long as possible so I could see you come home and capture that happy look on your face and in your eyes. I really miss being able to do that for you. I miss not having you here so that our son could help me carry on such a fun tradition we had. I still laugh at the funny stuff you did when you decorated for my birthday! It was so sweet and it was definitely the thought that counted! (smile)

With Christmas getting so close, I have found it a bit difficult finding the "Holiday spirit" this year. I was so touched when you gave me the "Best present ever!". I think back to the stories you had about our little man helping pick out the color, the way you had to wait and INSIST on the big red bow...You were so sneaky and it was one of the nicest, kindest, most thoughtful, sweet, and loving things you did for me. It came from the heart and you put so much of you into it. See, there I go, crying at the computer...

I miss you so much and I wish I could have you home. I would trade anything to have you here for one more day. I wish that we had had the opportunity for so many more memories and so many more smiles, hugs, kisses, and love. I promise you that not one single day will ever go by that I don't think about you and smile...and wish you were here. I listen to the few tape recordings I have of your voice and I love when I hear our son say, "That's my daddy!" We miss you so much!!!

I hope I see you in my dreams tonight...

All my love to you sweetheart, now and forever.

Tara

We never met. We would certainly have been friends. There is nothing I can say here that is worthy however much I wish for the ability to make things better.

Just know that your good example is real and strong in the present time. I resolve to be that much better a husband and father. I see a police officer and silently wish them every safety.

Tara, you and Jason and your sons are in my thoughts and prayers and always will be.

An old friend

Jason,

I did not have the luxury of knowing you, but I was friends with Eric. I left Phoenix to come home to Pennsylvania last year, and I am now faced with the loss of yet another brother. Please show Upper Saucon Township Officer David Petzold the way, I know you will get along fine.

To Jason's wife Tara,

I found myself reading each and every reflection of Officers White, Uribe, and Jason. You wrote in one that you don't know why you keep writing, and that you think it is the best way to reach him. Don't stop writing. Everybody needs to remember what heros our friends and officers are. I cried as I read each and every one of your reflections. I will never forget. Your devotion is just as heroic as anything we do.

Sweetheart,

Time has been going so fast since I attended the Spouses' retreat in September. I had such a positive experience. I was able to get in touch with some other police widows that I had meet during my first trip to National Police Week. I spend hours talking to a few very special women and I hope we can continue our new friendship. I wonder if you are hanging out with any of their husbands? I think you had quite a bit in common with some of them...

We have entered into the second time of year that is extremely difficult for me. There are so many special days that we experienced in November and December that no matter what is going on, I feel like I am sitting and reflecting on one of our special days. I continue to keep track of our special days and cannot help but buy cards and cute objects that I would have been giving to you had it not been for what happened to you. I have had this special sentiment carried over to our little angel. I hope you have been receiving those gifts he has been sending! I feel confident that you have. He loves to talk about Daddy and send Daddy gifts.

Things have not been so great for someone we know. Please help out and point her in the right direction. I know we can only offer so much assistance here on Earth. Thank you honey! I could and always will be able to count on you!

Have you seen the new dirtbike? Isn't it awesome! He loves it so much. Oh, not to mention all the safety gear! I laugh so hard whenever he gets dressed and tries to walk to the dirtbike! Such a funny sight! I gave your mom a picture with all the gear on! It reminded her alittle bit of you. I even found a mini Duck! I think Santa will be visiting the house this year with a special Duck! I could not believe it when I saw it. It was exactly what you had wanted!!! It still amazes me.

I miss you very much. I still spend time every day thinking about you and wishing you were here with us. Do you like the new tat? It is the same basic idea that we kept talking about but alittle different. I could not get the exact thing...it was just to difficult. I love you sweetheart. I love you so much. You will always have that special piece of my heart...Now and forever sweet man!

See you in my dreams!
XXOO,

Your loving wife! T. Wolfe
