Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I had no idea this site was set up until Linda sent the address to me. Every once in a while my mind wanders back to Florence and inevitably to my years there. I spent many many days there babysitting Jay...the Mono Brothers in their younger days. I can vividly remember time at the kitchen table doing math and time trying to get the boys to sit down instead of wrestling. Funny how it makes me smile today to know I was there for so many moments... sharing small talk and fights and fooling around. Jay grew steadily into an amazing young man and I was proud to have been a part of his past. I'm always glad to see and hear of his brothers even today. I would see him every once in a while, usually at a football game or a Lopez family function, and we would hug and talk about when he and Mono tied Louie to the clothes line pole out back. Sad all over again at thinking of the loss for the family and close friends. Tradegy does nothing except remind us to be thankful for each day we are given.

Hey Jay,
It's been a while since I have looked on this page. I know you were there the other night when that guy from D.P.S. changed my tire. I was so surprised when he told me that his call sign was "613". I just smiled. It was even crazier when he told me that it was his last night being "613" due to him changing shifts. At that point I knew you where laughing at me because I was being a big crybaby. My dad thought so to. Well I thought I would write you a little note to say thanks, it could've been ALOT worse than what it was. You've been in my prayers and thoughts for so long it is now second nature for me. The boys are growing up so fast and they are very good kids. They crack me up every time I am around them. Corina too. She is such a good person. I know that you knew that. Well you know we all miss you and think of you often. So until next time. Always, Jodi

j,
I THOUGHT OF YOU ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR DEATH, AND SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU. JUST HAVEN'T BEEN INTO THE COMPUTER VERY MUCH. NOT ONLY AM I GETTING WORSE AND CRIPPLING UP, BUT I'VE LOST 70% OF SIGHT ON MY RIGHT EYE. AND THE LEFT ONE IS GOING BAD TOO. BUT I WON'T COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU'D JUST SAY ITS BECAUSE I'M OLD! :) YOU'RE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ALWAYS AND I KEEP A PICTURE OF YOU IN UNIFORM TO REMIND ME AND ANYONE THAT COMES TO MY HOUSE OF THE ULTIMATE SACREFICE YOU PAID IN BEING A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER- HAVING YOUR LIFE TAKEN-IN THE LINE OF DUTY. I PRAY THAT ALL OFFICERS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATED WILL REMEMBER THESE SACRIFICES MADE BY ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE PASSED ON, AND KEEP THEIR GUARD UP. INTERCEED TO ST. MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL, TO PROTECT OUR FELLOW OFFICERS. UNTIL ANOTHER TIME,
LOVE YOU. BEL

Jay,
I keep your picture up at my desk at all times. I look to you for strength and at times reflection. Reflection of the good times we spent as just family at my dad's (your nino). For some reason, we just camped on everyone and everything. Laughing most of the time, but I miss it and you. When the Gilbert Officers come in they never leave me without a "be careful out there." Bighead i miss you ... Tell your nina when you see her up there, hey for me. you are always in my heart and on my mind. Talk at cha later.

Jason, it has been a while since I said hello. Too many warrants, too much work and not enough time in a day. But I wanted you to know one thing: We never are so busy that we forget you. "You" are why we carry on every day. Rest easy, my Brother. Semper Fi.

Hi Jay,

Well it's been 4 years, it's hard to believe it's been that long. Everytime an S.O. unit backs me up on a call or stop, I think about all the times you used to that.

Take care my friend, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for watching out for us down here.



Your friend always,


Don

Hi Jay, just looking thru all the reflections all your family & friends have given you. Everyone misses you so much! So hard to believe it's been four years since your passing. Your always and will be forever in our hearts....the boys are something else, especially that Lil' Michael. He's four going on 22. Cristian looks more and more like you everyday.....He's a good son and a great big brother! He talks alot to Mi Alana about you.....what he misses.....about the home you all lived in.....even orders his eggs "Like my Daddy used to make them" over easy. He was so young then, and yet remembers how you made his eggs. Crazy how life can be. We all continue to pray for you..... that someday we will meet again. Until then God Bless You. Love You...

Hey J,
Well, it's been 4 years now since you checked out on the radio for the last time with me. I still find some days rough. I may not have been related to you by blood or marriage, but I still have a special bond with you - as I do with most of my deputies. I consider us a big family and when I lost you, I lost a brother. I have been trying to make things better in dispatch for the deputies but, I have been getting resistance. I don't think I can go through losing another deputy on my shift.
I saw your family tonight. They are are great! Your boys are getting soo big. And Aydan is already going on 7 months now.
Well, I hope you are looking down on us and keeping everyone safe. I hope to meet up with you again one day.
:) Angelique

Hey Jay,
We miss and reminisce about you often. Alot has changed since you've been gone. We wanted to let you know about the new addition to the family. We had a baby boy named Aydan, but we know you probably know that already. He's 4 months old now and we always catch him staring up towards the ceiling just laughing away and Louie tells Aydan to let you know that we love and miss you. Sometimes when we go to your Dads, he'll stare at your picture and start smiling so we know you are watching over him. We just wish he was able to create memories with you. Were always missing you!

I was a cadet in the academy and attended Deputy Lopez's funeral service with the rest of my class. As we did not have badges we all wore black ribbons on our academy shirts. That ribbon is in my patrol car pinned to the headliner just under the diver's side visor. I think of it as a place of honor, and it will stay in that place until the day I retire from service.

I sit here today the day before the anaversary of 9-11. I sit here thinking about all that the fallen Officers have given. I sit here thinking about Deputy Lopez. I look at my wife and children, and think about Deputy Lopez's family. Deputy Lopez and his family will be in my thoughts and prays always.

Thank you Deputy Lopez, thank you.

Jay,
After three years I barely found this web site. You know I couldn't resist writing you a little note. I want you to know how much your family and friends miss you. The boys are getting so big and handsome. I know that you know this already. Your presense is felt when I am around them. Well I wanted you to know that you are in our prayers every day. God bless your soul for the sacrifice you made and for the person you were. Always, Jodi

Jay,

It has taken me all this time to be able to write this. I know you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. So much has changed since you have been gone. You are probaly up in heaven looking down on us thinking what is up with all these people, they need to move on. Well its not that easy to move on when someone like you is gone, someone so important to so many people. I am proud to say that I was blessed with the chance to get to know you. You are and always will be my hero and in my heart. God Bless you and your family.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Tonight, May 4, 2004 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Deputy Jason Lopez who died in the line of duty on this date three years ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Deputy Lopez' sacrifice will never be forgotten.

The end of another year has come again. Your birthday was up again with Christmas and another promising year. 2004 brings Happiness and sorrow, as it is time for me to move back to my roots. I will still keep your picture up and pray for you often. With all the prayers for you..watch out vato..te vas hacer un santo! :) Yeah..right!

Dad is doing great, he makes your proud. But then again, you knew that. And the "Chuckster" has turned out to be quite a great young man. A great athlete! But you know that already too! Rest in peace and intercede for us down here.

Hey Jay! I can't believe how time has flown.. The other day I was hearing Wind Beneath My Wings on the radio and it was 6:13 on the clock. I still miss you so much.. I wish I could hear your voice in my ear. The trial was really hard.. I am soo very happy they found him GUILTY!! I am still finding difficult times since you have been gone. I know I am not the only one.. Your family and very close friends have been soo supportive and have taken me in. I don't feel so isolated and alone when I am with them.. Your boys are getting so big.. Their personalities are just like you.. :)) Corina is doing a great job. She is so strong.. Thank you for everything. **hugs** ANGELIQUE
