Jay, We finally brought Nico out to the cemetery. I know that might sound weird to others, but I don't really care. I don't think she is to crazy about riding in the car. We still love her anyway. I am missing you so much lately. I know I say that everytime I write in. Life is just so hard. It is just not fair that you are not here. We made it through Father's Day. I know how difficult it is for mom and dad. It just sucks we can't do anything to help. The kids have been going and spending some time at their house. I think they all enjoy that. Well that is all I have for now, it just tears me up having to write on here and not being able to talk to you in person. I love you and miss you.....

I have not left a message on here in a while, thought today would be a good day. I know you are looking down and watching over all of us. We miss you, it seems more and more everyday. Every time a few of us get together we seem to tell stories about things we had done. They always make us laugh.

I know you would want to be here for Father's day, since your dad meant so much to you. I know Chris will tell him this, but I know you would want to. Happy Fathers Day DAD. I love you. As always... YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

Hi Son,

Today is father's day and I will think about you all day long. June is almost over and one of your favorite holidays is coming up, July 4th. You are so patriotic and love shooting off the fireworks. Every time I hear or see fireworks I think of you and how much you enjoyed them. Maybe someday the trial will begin and we will have closure on it. We will never have closure on you and will love you and remember you always.

Love, Dad

Jeremy - my cousin Matthew is now engaged because of one of your memorial tee-shirts. A girl on his campus (Sarah) came up to him because he was wearing your memorial shirt. She knew who you were and now they are engaged. I believe that you had something to do with that. That is truly amazing. Please continue to pray for us. We love you.

Jay,
I just wanted to check in and say hi!! Washington D.C. was a great tribute to all of the fallen officers. You would have been so proud. You know not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Somedays are harder than others. I just miss you so much. Summer break has begun for the kids so they are loving it. In the fall they will be going to school, no more homeschool for them. I know this is a tall order, but can you please watch over them for me. I will be worried sick over them. I am sure they will do fine, but I am a mom and that is what we do....worry. Well, I love you and miss you more than words can say.

Good Morning Son,

Son, I think about you many many times a day. Even after the first year has passed, your anniversary date memorial, Washington DC, and more I miss you more and more every day. I try to keep the good things you done in mind and not the sad times. I still hope and pray everyday that some day I will see you again. I wished we would have had more time together but that was not the way it was in the end. I love you and miss you son.

Love Dad

After reading these touching reflections it was clear to me that Jeremy had touched so many lives in his town .As a fellow Policeofficer its nice to hear people talk about how great another officer is. I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy while at a training course.It was clear to me why your family is so proud of you.May God Bless each of your family members and give them the strength they need.

I just wanted to tell you that you are missed so much by so many people. Everytime I start to write something to you I lose my train of thought and can't put into words what I want to tell you. I think of you and your family everyday. Until we meet again...

Jeremy: My family travel to Washington for the National Police Week to honor all the heros who made the ultimate sacrifice and it was a pleasure to spend time with your sister and brother-in-law. It was a great tribute to all of the officers who protect our community every day. My father (Joe Corr's grandfater, Dan) and your brother-in-law Mark hit it off and talked for hours. I can see that you are as special as Joe just by the way they talked about you. Please keep a watch on all of us and I know you and Joe are protecting us from up above. All my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Well we all made it back from DC, what a trip it was. It was an HONOR for myself to be with your family this past week. I know that you would of been there for mine if the tables were turned. The pride your family has in you is something words can not describe. They are truly proud of everything you have done. That was a sight, the candle light ceremony, the pipes and drums ( I am sure your favorite) and the Capital service. We miss you every day, not a day goes by your are not talked about. Keep watch over us, sometimes we need it. As always.....

Jay,

The family just got back from the Memorial ceremony in DC yesterday. I know you were watching from above on all of us. Thanks for watching over us coming ang going during the trip. The experience we all shared was sad but it showed me how much of a hero, an angel and person you were. I know God gained a special soul we he took you from us last April. Your nephew and neices learned how important it is to give the ultimate sacrifice being a police officer. We miss you and you will never be forgotten!

Today is National Law Enforcement Memorial Day and I salute you on this day for your heroism, bravery and dedication to law enforcement. I had the opportunity to meet with your family at our State capital, what a wonderful group of people. I know their daily struggle that they experience every day without you. All any of us can do is take one day at a time and strive to keep your memory alive. Continue to watch over them and wrap your wings around them to help with their pain. You have not been forgotten.

Eyck is doing good, still crazy as ever. You would be proud of the large turnouts you get, to honor you at all the memorials. Well I have to get going and finish getting ready. Love ya

God Bless the Chambers family as they journey to Washington D.C. It will be such an honor for your beloved Jeremy; but I also know how much your hearts will ache. I wish I could be there for support, but I know there will be others there from here and all over the country who know just what you are going through. I will be praying for you and I will also share your tears. Kathy McEntee, sister of Bill, EOW 7/5/05

Well Jeremy the Springfield Ceremony was very nice. Seeing all the families that lost a loved one this past year was hard to take. Knowing that those family and friends have went through what we have. The plaque and wreath service was very hard, it was those damn bag pipes again. I can not hear them without thinking of how much you liked them. But I must say it brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear them. With Washington DC being only a few days away, I am honored to be going to show everyone what a great person you where. Keep an eye on us on out trip, we may need directions. We miss you BRO... as always " YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN"

Jeremy, It was a nice memorial in Springfield on Thursday. I sure wish you were here with us and we didn't have to go to any of this. Don't get me wrong I am very glad they honor fallen officers, but it just really hard. We have met so many wonderful people through this tragedy. I really miss you so much. You were cheated out of so much stuff in your life. It is just not fair. We were all cheated....I wish you could see how much the kids have changed in the last year. They are growing up so fast. Logan will be a teenager this year. She is still as funloving as ever. Garrett is just the sweetest kid in the world. And what can I say about Hayden, well she is Hayden. Somebody can tick her off in a split second. I wonder where she gets that from. She now gets to take communion at church with the rest of us. Life has just changed so much in the last year somedays it is just so hard. Nico has lost 6 pounds, so she will be slim again by the summertime. We are taking great care of her. I love you and miss you.......

We met your Mom and other family members down in Springfield a few days ago when you were being honored at the Illinois Memorial Ceremony. Such nice people and a terrible way to have to meet them. We are all members of a club that none of us really want to belong too, we have lost police officers, but those officers are also our children. There is nothing worse than to lose a child, no matter what their age may be at the time of the loss. Your mother carried you in her arms when you were an infant, now she carries you in her heart. Keep watch over all of your loved ones and those still out guarding over the thin blue line. Jeremy, you will never be forgotten by those that love you dearly, nor will the Blue Family ever let your memory die. You will never be forgotten.

Jeremy
You know you were loved,This last year has been so hard but during this time we have also learned how much you were loved by so many others.We have had so many friends and even strangers tell us "Jeremy stories" running into a burning house with out thinking or just helping someone out that is the kind of person you were.
Were so proud of you son and miss you so much.On days like these we have so much sadness and heartache,but we are also over whelmed by how many people came to celebrate your life.
Jeremy you touch so many lives in just 26 years.
Your not only our son but you were a hero how you lived you life.My heart aches that I can't see you or talk to you only parents who have loss a child understands it's hard to breathe just thinking about not seeing you any more.

Your Dad and I love you so much.Mom
