When it rains,
it starts a pain,
it starts a rain in my heart,
everyday it causes a pain,
That never wants to go away, it sticks to me.
when it rains it is Jennifer crying and when it hits the trees with the wind blowing through is her saying she misses us more than anything and she wants to see us again.

Remembering My Niece Jennifer
I miss you more each passing day.
I'll never understand why your life had to end this way.
My heart seems so empty without you here.
But the precious memories of you I'll always hold dear.
I will never forget...
Your beautiful brown eyes that sparkled and shined.
Your dazzling smile so sweet and bright,
could light up even the darkest night.
Your voice so soft and gentle when you'd speak
I will always remember...
The twinkle in your eyes whenever you were excited and glad.
The dimple that would appear on your right cheek with each and every smile.
The sound of your voice when you'd say; "See you later, Bye."
Whenever I'm feeling down and blue,
I remember the happy times spent with you.
Love Always,
Aunt Gail

I feel like I know you. You are a beautiful and brave hero. I will never forget what you did to keep our streets safe. Rest in peace sweet angel. I will pray for your family also. We will be connected for life. My identical Twin Sister Sheila Herring served with the Detroit Police Dept for 10 years. I talked her into moving to Virginia four years ago. She was also killed in the line of duty January 16, 2003. I know you two have a lot to talk about. You are both truly missed and forever in our hearts!!!
Sincerely,
Sharon Atkins, Identical Twin Sister of Norfolk, VA Officer Sheila Herring killed in the line of duty January 16, 2003

Dear Jenny,
They say that time heals...
Yet, these past 6 months seem so
Unreal..
It's hard to believe that
you are gone...
And our hearts are
left so alone...
You were taken from us
in the darkness of night...
But now you shine in the
eternal light...
May the angels keep you
by their side..
Always, you will be
remembered with so much
PRIDE!!!
I Love You and Miss You Dear Jenny!
Always in my Heart

Yet another death of a true freedom fighter. In my eyes Officer Fettig gave her life for the safety and freedom of the United States and not just for the City of Detriot. Thank you Officer Fettig for your commitment and courage.

JENNIFER YOU WERE MY SCOUT CAR PARTNER FOR OVER A YEAR, YOU ARE ALSO MY BEST FRIEND. IT SEEMS SO DIFFERENT, KNOWING THAT YOUR NOT IN THAT JUMP SEAT NEXT TO ME. BUT I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THE DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT DID NOT GIVE JENNIFER THE CREDIT SHE SO MUCH EARNED. MY SELF AND JENNIFER, HAVE RECOVERD LARGE QUANTITYS OF NARCOTICS, AND RECOVERD MANY WEAPONS, WE SUCESSFULLY SAVED A MAN FROM JUMPING FROM A 8 STORY WINDOW, THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS JENNIFER DID FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT, AND THAT HER DEPARTMENT DID NOT CREDIT HER FOR. I MISS MY SCOUT CAR PARTNER AND BEST FRIEND MORE THAN ANYTHING, BUT IN DO TIME I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. I WILL JUST HOLD ON TO THE SMILE YOU GAVE ME JUST BEFORE YOU AND MATT PULLED AWAY, AND AGAIN I WILL ALWAYS LISTEN FOR 4-5 ON THE WAY.

To the family, friends and co-workers,
My heart is saddened also for the loss of another special Officer. My family is still dealing with the loss of Clint, they were the same age. I can see them now, telling each other all their war stories, and I know that Clint had lots, as I know Jennifer does. Know that our family will be praying for your family. We will never forget our special angels.

Hi Jen,
We have never met, but we have shared some of the dirt. Today was a hard day. not physical or stressful, but mental. Reading through your reflections put my mind at ease and makes me think that just maybe we are doing some good out there and we are appreciated. i was not able to attend your going home, for this I am sorry. you are thought about everyday and we remember what we are here for. thanks for the help.
keep watch over those of us who are still here, for as you know, this is as close to hell as one can get.

Dear Jenny,
May you be patroling the streets of heaven with all the other officers in law enforcement who are with you now. It certainly doesn't feel the same without you here. I am still proud of you and think about you everyday. God received a beautiful angel the day he called you home. May you continue to watch over all of us until we meet again. Take care.
Love,
Uncle Mike
P.S. The kids talk about you often & send their love.

Not many people understand why we take this job. We are all one
family and we are deeply saddened at yet another loss. You stepped up
to the plate and chose a lifestyle (because its more than a job) that most
people wouldn't dream of. You made the ultimate sacrifice and will
never be forgotten. There is no greater love than this; to lay down ones
life for another. May you rest in eternal peace Sister and watch over us.
Most people ask:
Why do we do it?
Why do we take a job filled with so much heart ache and sorrow.
Why do we take a job with little respect and even less pay.
When they ask this.....I don't say a word.
...Because they don't understand.
They don't understand that it is all about the officer next to you...
...And thats all there is.

Dear Jenny,
Please watch over all of your family from your heavenly post. We all miss you and can't believe you're really gone. We find comfort in knowing that when our day comes you'll be waiting at heavens gate to greet us and we'll be reunited again. You're forever in our hearts and always on our minds. Sending you all our love.

My prayers go out to the family of Jennifer Fettig. I am not an officer, nor have I ever met her. I write to you from Asheville N.C. I learned of this site 3 days ago when we here in Buncombe Co. lost one of our own protectors in the line of duty--Sergeant Hewitt, whom I also have never met.
The reason that I send this to you is to let you know that there are civilians outside of your state that hear of your profound loss and feel sadness for a great Officer, and indeed a great Person. I understand that the family did not lose an Officer--you lost an important part of your life. I write to you now as someone who has felt the horror of a death that came too soon. You are in my thoughts. Jennifer will always have my respect and grattitude, for she worked a job that few of us would have. There are few people in this world that can carry all of us as an Officer can.
Bless Jennifer and her family. I know the pain is still very raw for you, but I hope that you can soon reach peace.

I found this on Officer Scott Stewart's(DPD 9th precinct) memorial page. I posted it for Matt too.
A Million Times
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go lone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.

Dear Jenny,
You were a very kind person. You were one of the best cousins I had. Like everyone else the last time I saw you was at the family Christmas party. The last time I heard from you was when you e-mailed me the information I needed to do a school assignment on careers. It sounded like you really enjoyed your job and helping other people. I miss you, we all do, and always will.
Love Your Cousin,
Jeremy
