An Officer and an artist

We are so thrilled to announce a new artist in the Divine Crosses family. 

Jamey will be debuting her beautifully painted crosses on the new Divine Christmas page coming next week!!!

Jamey is a Retired with Disability NYPD Officer. She is now a very Full-time Mom and awesome part time artist. We are proud to know her and her family and are very honored to have this opportunity to work with her. 

Jamey did not always want to serve in the NYPD.  Even in college she still wasn’t sure what direction she wanted to go in life. Then came September 11, 2001. After that horrific day, she along with many of her fellow students felt that calling from deep inside to rush in and help. She and her fellow students had even packed their bags were ready to go until their professor asked them all not to leave. He advised them to finish their degrees and to then rush in when they were fully trained and that’s how they could make the biggest impact and difference. 

Many of her fellow students took law enforcement jobs elsewhere, but she wanted to go back home and serve her fellow New Yorkers. She even turned down a job with NCIS in New England to do so. 

I wish I could tell you just a handful of the stories that I’ve been told of her time serving. If I did you would be reading the stories for days! 

The best part of her stories though is that so many others are still telling their stories because she went above and beyond countless times to help them. She always rushed in to help and many times she slowed down to sit on ledges with people who were mentally hurt. 

She was injured on the job multiple times, yet kept returning to serve the people of New York City for a hard fought 11 years. 

Did I mention that her husband also serves and is also of New York’s finest? 

What a family... 🙏

We met Jamey when she ordered a cross from us and we noticed she did artwork on the side. We’ve exchanged artwork with each other over the last four years. Then, last year for Christmas, we received a painted 2x4 scrap with a baby in a manger and star painted on it. 

Brandi and I knew it was certainly time to start that Christmas page on the website we had talked about and we definitely wanted Jamey to a part of it with us. So.. I sent her a blank cross to try painting on. I am so blessed to have the first one hanging in the barn of many to come. 

Jamey has unselfishly served God through every gift He has given Her. We are so blessed and honored to have this opportunity to serve along side of her, using our gifts together. 

Ready for what the future holds.

Jamey and her Crosses!
