Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was just reading my friend Nick's reflections and then I was just looking at other officers that had their life taken in the same year. I am sorry that your family and friends have to go through all of the pain and anger. You are a very beautiful girl and it is so sad that this happened to you and your partner. I just wanted to send my prayers and thoughts to your family and loved ones. Your aunt always leaves refletions for other officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. I think that is wonderful and just shows what a loving family you came from. Take care in heaven and tell Nick hi for me.

To the family and friends of Officer Jennifer Fettig and her fellow officers in the Detroit Police Department:

I wanted to extend my deepest condolences to all of you for the grievous loss you suffered when Jennifer was so brutally murdered. Her valor and bravery will be forever remembered. The loss of two brave officers in this one horrific crime must have been a devasatating blow to the department. I hope the scumbag that killed Officr Fettig and her partner got the sentence he deserved.

To her family, I know they will be embraced by a circle of love and support from the law enforcement community and other police survivors. Our family lost our beloved Larry Lasater of the Pittsburg, CA Police Department when he was fatally shot on April 23, 2005 during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers. Our family shares your agony and we grieve for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Officer Fettig gave to her community and the citizens of Michigan, and for the supreme sacrifice she and her family made in the line of duty.

15 months...it seems like only yesterday. Remembering you and Matt bringing prisoners in to Detroit Receiving, and Matt wanting to be out on patrol doing your job and not in the ED. It didn't bother you comming by Receiving as I remember. And you were so easy to talk with, just the simple things. And me getting you some alcohol to clean the back of your squad car out with. Talking with you and Matt @ the Auto Show on detail while I was on duty with Hart Medical, about the crowd of people and the cool cars also the sore feet. Only Yesterday seems like a far away memory, shrouded in the phone call to "watch channel so and so, someone was shot in the 4th..." The cold day of your funeral and the feeling of loss eternal, but not really so. I'll see you again Sis, both you and Matt can meet my family as you stroll heaven's gold paved streets, bored but in peace. When I arrive @ the gate, we'll catch up on things, and you 2 can show me around. But until then, I'll be doing the job, saving lives and helping others, always mindful of the sacrifice you paid on that cold street. Never far from my memories, and never forgotton.

For some reason I have taken a special interest in Jen.. I'am so heart broken. She was and is a true hero and she makes me proud to be a women in the law enforcement field. To Jens parents what a beautiful girl Jen was. I can tell by the reflection that are left to her she was really someone special. I was looking on the internet about what happened that night, wow what pain you must feel. I will pray for your family. I will also continue to pray for Jen although she is in a beautiful place just like her. All my love!

Officer Fettig is laid to rest at Roselawn Memorial. If you take the dirt road off of Center, just past McDonald's Nursery (where the office building is located) and drive into the cemetary you will see the Heroes Garden on your right, which is where Jennifer rests. The Heroes Garden is next to the chapel building, and you'll see a stone monument with police and firefighters on it. Jennifer will be happy to know you came. She is gone, but never forgotten.

April 21, 2005

It has been a year since that morning and I have been thinkin' about you and Officer Bowens for a looong time:)
I have the comfort of meeting you two later.Does anyone know wat cemetary officer Fettig was buried in and where in the cemetary she is, so I can pay my respects to her?

Jenny,

Hey Jen, That picture is how I remember you, happy and always smiling. I think of you and Matt all the time, I have a new rooky i'm training this month and i'm always telling him storys about you, like when you and i chased those guys on Gilbert s/o michigan ave. on foot who just commited a home invasion 2, and that was the one and only time that i can remember that the helecopter (air 6) was up and assisted us with their arrest. You are truly missed. Could you do me a favor? Look after my younger brother Bo, You and Matt show him the ropes up there, I'm sure he has some storys to tell you guys about me.

Your Friend,
JIMMY

Officer Fettig -
I came to visit you the other day .. and I saw the beautiful pink carnations that someone had left for you. There were lilacs too. I cried and sat on the cold ground for awhile. Someone came to see you while I was there - maybe your aunt? I didn't have the strength to say hello, so I just stood by and watched her as she stood by your grave. I wish I would have said hello to her .. maybe she could have told me a story about you. You are missed, and thought of often. I left you some beautiful blue and white flowers - I thought you might like them since they look like law enforcement colors. I found this great quote that said something like "One badge stands behind all the rest" and I thought of you. I cut it out of the magazine and left that for you too. Just know that you are missed, and continue to impact the lives of those who knew you - and those that didn't.
