"May the warm winds of heaven blow softly on your home,
And the Great Spirit, bless all who enter there.
May your moccasins make happy tracks
In many snows, and may the rainbow
Always touch your shoulder"

On May 11, 2006, The Lord was delivered a message from an angel. In the message this small angel spoke quietly in His presence, saying "Father, I have brought you great news once again" and God spoke with a big powerful voice and said with a loving smile, "I already know, we have inherited another brave warrior and defender of my children, his name is Bill.

"He has served Me and his fellow man well, I am eternally grateful for the job he has done, for in it he was able to glorify my name and presence, while giving unselfishly to those he served. I have promoted Bill to My Plane in Heaven, and from this day forward, he will live in Peace, he will never again feel fear, nor pain, nor cry again. This I say and it shall be forever.

Now send the others forward to spread their wings and open the gates, I want to hear them singing with joy, "Welcome Home Bill, you have served Him well. Here you will see all around you, those other guardians, who went before you, and they now welcome you, a fallen brother.”

God then spoke to another angel saying "I want you to send a troop down to those who grieve their loss, and feel fear, I want the angels wings around those children, that family, and every comrade he served with. For they shall blot away the tears and numb the time awhile, although they will be sad to know he is gone to them. They will surely be joyful to know, that today he resides in heaven with Me and My promise to them is this, his death on earth is not forever, it is but a tick in time.

I promise you as it is written, the next time you see Bill, it will be in Heaven, where time, tears and fears are never again. "The next time will not be but a short tick in time, but rather as I have always promised, Forever, Eternal. "Until then, march on and know I am there with you this day, as yesterday, and will be till time is no-more."

Bill, It has been a long time since I left a post, but you have always been close to my heart. I am sorry to say that I am still a citizen of Roane COunty, but I still proudly have your and Mike's memorial sticker on my car. I could not believe that the people responsible for you being gone were not found guilty. God does not make mistakes, but in time he will make all this right. My heart goes out to Trevor and Tammy. I know their lives have changed so much without you. I cannot imagine how empty their hearts must be with you gone. We know you and Mike are on patrol and keeping the "peace" in heaven. You are greatly missed.

Bill Jones was an amazing man and a very large part of my life. I have known him almost all my life and grew up calling him uncle Bill. He always talked about his children and his family and always had his arms open to those who needed him. I miss him and love him so much. I will always hold the memories at the campground close to my heart, thats why I call it home. To My Uncle Bill, I will never stop loving you and im so proud to have had you in my life, you will always be in my heart and i wont ever say bye, ill just say see you later. And to the rest of the family may God bring you some peace through JUSTICE and I will always Pray for you all.

Love always

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved,
still missed and very dear."

Death leaves a heartache, No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory, No one can steal."

Now we are only memories, I can us together and the looks on our faces..I hear your the laughter....I see it and feel it all from a distance...

Bill,
My friend, it has been 4 years today and I have finally been able to post a message. You will never know how much you are missed. It still seems like a really bad dream that no one can wake up from. There has been no justice at all but did we really expect there to be?? I know one day the Houstons will face their maker and I wish we could all be there to see it. That empty feeling will never go away and the tears will always fall but I can close my eyes and I can still see you coming through the door at the office and giving me my daily hug. All the stories that you have told and all the stories that have been told about you does bring a smile to my face at times. You weren't just a great officer, you were a fantastic friend that would do anything for anybody. You are still admired by those that worked with you and always will be. You and Mike gave your lives for this county doing what you loved best and I just pray that all those who truely knew you will always remember the great times and the great person you were. I love you and miss you.

bambam today marks the day for your 4th unbareable year for your death. I look at the day it happened and to me it was just like yesterday. Now the houstons in my mind deserved to be let go. I want them to suffer the way we did. I'm no saying I will but SOMEONE will get it in there family. The family is very sad today but that is just an understatement. But as long as I shall live I'll take your place in this terrible world as 730 police officer. Mark my word bambam JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED THE RIGHT WAY. Give all our love to hanna and grandad. Keep our family up there in watch. With all our love bambam, the family

Bill it doesn't seem like 4 yrs have passed. It is still just as painful today as it was when we were all called in to dispatch. Not knowing yet who it was. My 1st memory was of driving to dispatch I was numb and dont remember the drive; Just walking up the side of the building and seeing Linda crying and telling me it was you.. And that you were gone. I wish it had all been a very bad dream we could all wake up from even today. you have always been so loved and respected. I will miss always everything about you, your wonderful smile, your very wonderful sense of humor; And all us girls will remember how you always took up for us when we had beligerent callers cussing us. You would always call them or go out there and I'm not sure what you would say but 1 thing for sure when you hung up the phone or went 10-8 within seconds we would get an apology and a bunch of yes ma'ams. I'm so sorry that the Roane County Justice systems did not do You or Mike justice! They let the Houstons and their families bully jurors, witnesses and everyone in their sorry paths. I know I am not supposed to judge and I'm Supposed to let God handle it. and he will on judgement day! I wouldn;t want to be any of them.God has his own reasons not for me to question but to KNOW he will handle evrything! I know you look down on us and smile. My reasoning for myself to cope is that God knew you were an awesome officer and man and that there were just so many your earthly body could protect so he took you to heaven to be able to sit by and guide us all! Thats why we are kept safe! Love You and "Roger that Batman"

As that horrible day four years ago approaches please know you have never left our minds for a second. Life is as hard today as it was then. There have been terrible disappointment along the way. People are strange characters. Some you would have thought would be there, just arent! Others, have been there 200%. Just know as we continue without you, we need your guidance...some more than others. RIP

Yet another disappointment from the court systems, but what a surprise right? Just know we all still think of you constantly. Keep a watch on us, we need it now.
