Reflections for Police Officer Jeremy Preston "Jay" Chambers

Hi Son,

I cannot believe how many people turned out for your memorial tribute this year. It just amazes me how many people still remember you and want to pay tribute to you. We know you were an amazing young man and many people really miss you. We now have Eyck at our house and he is a very smart dog. He still obeys the commands you taught him.

We love you and miss you.
Love Dad

Thinking of your loved ones today and everyday. I know the daily struggles they face without you and the terrible pain within their hearts. God, wrap your loving arms around them and help them with their grief and let them feel your presence.
Your sacrifice has not been forgotten.

Your EOW date is approaching and I thought I would leave a note today to let you know that you have not been forgotten. I know the daily struggle that all of your loved ones face each day and on the 24th it will even be worse. There are no magic words I can offer to help them with their grief except that you are a true hero and heroes never die. Come to them in their dreams so they know you are close and watching over them. Protect them and wrap your wings around them. You have not been forgotten.

Jay,
You would have been so proud of Logan and Garrett today, plunging into the cold waters of Carlyle Lake for the Special Olympics. I am so glad they did it. They had a great time. We went to the KC hall after the plunge they had a dinner and there were two police officers there wearing your tee shirt. It always make us smile when we someone is wearing your shirt.
Well we got a new dog, she is not a Nico. She needs a lot of training. She is very cute of course Hayden doesn't like her at all. I wish you were here to see my kids as they grow up. Garrett would just crack you up. He is a real funny boy. We sure do miss you and love you bunches. I hope you and Nico are having a real good time in heaven. Love and Hugs.....Denise

Hey Jay,
Another year without you its hard to believe... I miss you so much you and nico, I cant believe She is gone she does not come all excited at the door when i come home from school anymore, and i do not have a big dog to protect the house anymore. I miss her so much so was so happy,and use to play with me, and now she is gone.It was so hard and it was a month on the 17, but it seems like just yesterday. I do not know what to do with Nico her anymore, but i have a feeling she watching and still protecting the house up in heaven. Christmas was not the same without you, they seem dead... all the holidays do... I haven't been on here in a while so i am leaving a lot. I miss you and i know nico is happy up in heaven because she is with her master. :)
Love you always,
Logan

Merry Christmas Son,

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas son and I hope every Christmas is better than the last for you. There is not a day that goes by I don't think about you and how excited you got at Christmas. I remember your pet project one year was making a Christmas tree out of conduit pipe. Everyone misses you and loves you and we know you will never be forgotten.

Jeremy just wanted to let you know and I know you are aware, that we had to put Nico to rest on Wednesday due to her cancer and her not eating anymore. It was very difficult to take her to the vet knowing she would never be able to come home again or jump on us. We all cried about having to do it but knew it was the right thing to do. We all miss her just like we miss you! Hopefully God has Nico right beside you in heaven! We love you both and miss you dearly.

Jay we received bad new about Nico this week. She was diagnosed with melanoma (cancer). We were praying that the outside tumors on her body were just fatty tumors but for some reason they were not. The vet said it is a very aggressive form of cancer and there is not alot we can do at this point but to just make her comfortable. I do not want to put her down so this will be very difficult when it is time. She has been such a good dog to Denise, Logan, Garrett, Hayden and I over the past 2 1/2 years. We love her and it is just so sad she will be gone soon from us. Please pray that she does not suffer and watch over her Jeremy!

Thinking of you during this holiday season. It is a real challenge for all of your love ones to get through each day without you, especially more so this time of the year. Continue to watch over all of your loved ones. I have decorated the outside of my home in all blue lights and one of those lights burns brightly in your honor. You have not been forgotten.

Brother, it is getting around to the time of year that families spend time together. This year like the past 2 it will be without you. Everyday I think of some of the things we did. The good times and the bad, the bad being the funniest sometimes. I will make sure at the Guns N Hoses event next week will raise our beer's in your honor. Keep an eye on your family, holidays are very tough on them. Hell everday is tough on them. We miss you BRO. As Always
" YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN "

Jeremy-
Happy Birthday!!! I know that you, Nick and all of the guys will be there celebrating. I wish that you were all still down here with all of us. I am so glad that we got to meet your family. They are all so wonderful and I feel like I know you through all of the stories that they have told.

Please send your family signs to help them get through with your birthday and the holidays. I hope that we can see them soon.
