The investigation into Jason Kaye's murder is:open and active
I sincerely hope that whoever is responsible for taking Jason from us comes forward. I and some of my family members do not want revenge, we simply want closure. And as long as this person is out there, we will not have this. I realize that the person responsible may be someone very much like Jason, someone who felt they had no choice, but I also know that they will be haunted by this guilt and hunted by police. Is that any way to live? When a person accepts their guilt and the consequences of their actions it is the first step toward forgiveness. Come forward and be forgiven. ~Cheryl Kaye Tardif
To Dennis McGeady and the Edmonton Police:
On behalf of the Kaye family, I would like to express my
sincerest appreciation for everything that you and the Edmonton Police
have done in regards to my brother Jason Anthony Kaye.
The moment Detective Michael Campeau and his partner showed up
on my doorstep to break the news to me was one of the worst moments in my
life--even though we had all thought the day might come. But they handled me
with compassion and they answered my questions exactly the way I needed to
hear them.
My husband Marc and I greatly appreciated the police escort
into my brother's rooming house to collect his personal belongings. That too
was handled with such respect that it made the task much easier to bear.
My parents, my brother Derek and I also appreciate the
updates and information, even though there hasn't been much in the way of
leads--so far. But it is the genuine concern that you have shown us all,
and the warm thoughts you have shared regarding Jason, that have helped
us to restore his dignity, and for that we will be eternally grateful.
I wish that CFRN had not edited the segment where my brother
Derek thanked you all, and I hope that you pass this on to your Chief or use
it in any way (publicly or privately) so that the people of Edmonton can see
the 'softer side' of the Edmonton Police.
On a separate note: As a BC transplant, I am proud to live in
this city and call it my home. But I believe it's imperative that we find
people like Jason more resources, support, counseling, medical care and safer
neighborhoods or housing so that they can learn to take pride in their city,
their neighborhood, their streets. Before more 'Jasons' wind up dead in an
alley. Believe me, I'm not done writing about all of this. I guess God made me
a writer for a reason...and maybe fiction isn't all I'm meant to write.
Thank you again for all of your efforts, for everyone involved!
My family has been blessed by your caring.
Sincerely,
and the entire Kaye family
