My fiancé, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis was a Deputy Sheriff with the Davis County Sheriff's Office in SE Iowa. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure Teddy did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Teddy be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Officer Breland's family, friends, and co-workers are going through in losing him. My heart goes out to you all. No one can truly understand the pain of loss until they've walked in our shoes. Please know that my thoughts are with you and that you are not alone in your "journey". Should you ever need anything please do not hesitate to contact me. (The Davis County Sheriff's Office will always know how to reach me or write jocelyne1974 at canada dot com)

As a fallen officer "survivor" and a friend, please accept my condolences on behalf of myself and the McElderry family. I never got the opportunity to know Teddy but, I am certain he was well respected and well loved. Teddy will live on in the hearts of all the lives he touched. You were all blessed to have been able to know and love Teddy, even for a short time. I pray that Teddy, Dennis, and all the other fallen officers will continue to watch over us all as only they can.

Thank you Officer Breland for a job well done and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please say "hello" to my fiancé Dennis for me.

Wishing you and all those who's lives you touched brighter and better days,

Jocelyne :)

I am truly sorry to learn of your loss.

Thanks for your service and sacrifice brother. May you rest in peace and May peace be with your family. You will always be remembered and loved by all of those who have worn Blue.

My condolences and prayers go out to all the colleagues, family members, friends, and all who knew you. You will NOT be forgotten! Thank you for dedicating your heart and soul to your career to keep our community safe. As each day passes, may your family know what a “true hero” you are!

I work in Law Enforcement, as does my husband. He works 3rd shift patrol and is also a member of his agency’s SWAT team. Every single time he walks out the door, I kiss him goodbye, as I know it could be my last. We live in a city that has a high rate for drugs and gangs. We lost a female officer on 10/3/05 , named Robin Vogel, due to a drunk driver. I know there are no words that can ease the pain in your family’s situation right now, but know that there are other Law Enforcement Officer’s who think about you daily, even all the way from IL.

May God be with all of you and may justice be served on the man who took your life!

Rest in peace blue angel! J

At this time, I would like to show my gratitude for you dedicating your life for our community to be safe. This is something I found and put on Robin’s Memorial Page and I would love to share it with you!


Christmas In Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring, for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place, can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?

I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell him of your love, so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing, for I am spending Christmas in Heaven, and I’m walking with the King.

I just learned today of the death of Officer's Breland and Fite. I was a member of an FDLE squad that spent the majority of our time in Wiggins following our deployment to Mississippi due to Hurricane Katrina. When being told of the deaths the agent stated "Do you remember the young officer that came into the City Counsel Chambers where we were waiting for our assignment, the one that was real nice, shook hands with each of us and thanked us for being there? I certainly did! From all of us with FDLE we are deeply saddened over the loss and our thoughts and prayers are with the families and the members of the Wiggins Police Department.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who unlocked your car after you accidentally locked the keys and your baby up at the mall.
I was the one who gave you a ride to the gas station when you ran out of gas on that back road.
I was the one who changed your tire because you couldn't figure out how to work the stupid scissor jack.
I was the one who directed you safely through that busy intersection when the traffic signals weren't working.
I was the one who gave you a jump-start after you left your lights on.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who found the item that identified the guy who raped your daughter.
I was the one who spent my days off in court to testify and help convict the man who beat your son so badly.
I was the one who located your grandmother in the woods that night when it was 22 degrees and she had wandered away from the nursing home.
I was the one who loaned you the raincoat the night we stood and watched your house burn.
I was the one who talked with you for two hours about your son running away from home.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who held your hand, wiped the blood out of you eyes, and calmed you down while the Fire Department cut you out of what was left of your car.
I was the one who called you at 2 a.m. to come pick up your 16 year old daughter because she had been drinking too much.
I was the one who knocked on your door at 4 a.m. to let you know your 16 year old daughter would never be coming home again.
I was the one who did CPR on your 3 year old after you found him in the pool.
I was the one who helped deliver your new baby when you didn't quite make it to the ER.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who got that snake out of your bathroom around midnight.
I was the one who got my knees and elbows scraped up fighting with the shoplifter with your carton of cigarettes.
I was the one who took your son for a "ride-along" so he could see what it was really like.
I was the one who gave you the right directions so you wouldn't miss that business meeting.
I was the one who stopped you to let you know your right rear tire was going flat.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who escorted your son's funeral procession from the church to the cemetery and cried behind my sunglasses because he was my friend, too.
I was the one watched over your place while you were on vacation.
I was the one who worked for you on Christmas Day so you could be off with your family.
I was the one who joked around with you after your truck got hit by a train and you walked away without a scratch.
I was the one was able to talk your husband into going into counseling with you.

You don't remember me, do you...?
I was the one who got shot when I pulled over a car for a traffic violation and the driver turned out to be an escaped convict who had sworn he would never go back to prison.
Oh, by the way, my memorial service is at 2 p.m.

Will you remember me now?

I will remember you!! RIP

A fellow Police Officer, a best friend, a brother in blue. Brandon was all of these an much more to me. I'll never forget the moment I heard about Brandon and Odell. I know that as we pick up where he left off, he'll be watching from above. God bless you Brandon and thank you for everything you taught me. You were one of the best and Wiggins will never be the same. Thank you for your service to the City of Wiggins. R.I.P

I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting you, but my deepest sympathies go out Officer Breland’s family and the entire Wiggins Police Dept. that worked along side everyday. Another brave solider dressed in blue has crossed the thin blue line, Officer Breland you will be deeply missed and will never be forgotten. As you have answered your final call and your tour of duty has ended, I just want to say thanks for being the true definition of a HERO. You put your life on the line everyday for the citizens of Wiggins and you will be so deeply missed.
