REMEMBERING THOSE WE’VE LOST<br />
Senior Houston Police Officer<br />
William “Bill” Jeffrey<br />
<strong>No</strong> police officer ever left home thinking, “Today, I’m<br />
going to be killed in the line of duty.” Yet the memorial<br />
wall in Washington is filled with the names of thousands<br />
of officers who did just that. They left home, never<br />
to return again to those they love.<br />
End of Watch: Monday, Sept. 20,<strong>2021</strong><br />
What would they say, what would you say, if you were<br />
allowed one opportunity to send a short note to the significant<br />
people in your life? What final message would<br />
you send to your wife, your husband, your son, your<br />
daughter, or your parents? What would you say before<br />
you walked out the door one last time?<br />
What would Bill Jeffrey say to his loving wife Susanne,<br />
a former Houston Police Officer herself, or his beautiful<br />
daughter Lacie, or his precious granddaughter Laney?<br />
I’ve tried to put myself in their shoes and construct<br />
words for those left behind after their tragic and sudden<br />
exodus. This poem is dedicated to the memory of Senior<br />
Police Officer William “Bill” Jeffrey of the Houston Police<br />
Department as well as all our fallen brothers and<br />
sisters in blue.<br />
Bill Jeffrey<br />
