Oye Ortiz, siempre estas en mi mente y en mi corazon. Trabajamos por muy corto tiempo. Cuando llegastes a la Unidad te abri las puertas de la amistad. Pasamos muchos momentos buenos y lindo. Nos encontramos juntos la madrugada de ese martes 29. Comimos juntos, charlamos junto toda una noche y nos preparamos para cumplir nuetra mision. Pero jamas pensamos que seria la ultima noche.

Esa disparo todavia retumba en mi cabeza. Ver a Luchi gritar tu nombre me lleno de valor y volver a saltar ese porton tan alto solo para llegar a tu lado. Pedi una ambulanci, Me sente en el piso te puse en mi falda, te mire a los ojos y te dije estoy con tigo y te abraze mientras te ivas. Nonpude esperas por una ambulacia y te cargue hasta la primera patrulla para que te llevaran a las sala de emergencias, con la esperanza de que regresaras pero sabia que te habias hido en mis brazos.

Siempre te voy a recordar mi hernamo de Sangre Azul.

To Sargeant Jose Luis Ortiz Alvarez,
I spend some time with your Mom, and it was heart wrenching to hear her express her sorrow over your early passing. Your departure left a gap in her heart that no words, and no time will mend. One day you two will meet again, and her tears will be wiped away, and the scars in her heart will mend. May God Bless you Titi

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 9th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Mi amigo quien en vida fuera Hector Luis lo mantenemos en nuestros corazones recordandolo como un varón comprometido con su país, su familia y con la Policia de Puerto Rico. Un hombre valiente, humilde y de buenos sentimientos. Compartimos muchos pero muchos momentos de nuestra adolecencia y juventud, crecimos en el deporte y vida sana, nos confiamos secretos que por siempre serán nuestros secretos y llegamos a la adultes segun nuestro creador quizo. Nunca te dije que te quice como mi amigo, como mi hermano y si algún día te falle te pido me disculpes. Llevas cuatro años con reunido con Papa Dios y se que algún día nos reuniremos. Hasta Pronto.

Tu Amigo

My fiancé, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis was a Deputy Sheriff with the Davis County Sheriff's Office in SE Iowa. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure Hector did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Hector be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Sergeant Ortiz-Alvarez's family, friends, and co-workers must have gone through in losing him. My heart goes out to you all, especially to his wife. No one can truly understand the pain of our loss until they've walked in our shoes. Please know that my thoughts are with you and that you are not alone in your "journey". Should you ever need anything please do not hesitate to contact me. (Dennis' department will also always know how to reach me.)

As a fallen officer "survivor" and a friend, please accept my condolences on behalf of myself and the McElderry family. I never got the opportunity to know Hector but, I am certain he was well respected and well loved. Hector will live on in the hearts of all the lives he touched. You were all blessed to have been able to know and love Hector, even for a short time. I pray that Hector will continue to watch over us along with all the other fallen officers all as only they can.

Thank you Sergeant Ortiz-Alvarez for a job well done and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please say "hello" to my fiancé Dennis for me.

Wishing you and all those who loved you brighter and better days,

Jocelyne :)
