Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dearest Jen,
Now I know what parents mean when they say after the death of a child, "are children are supposed to out live us" or "our child was not supposed to die before us". As one of the Tac Officers who worked with you at the academy, I always felt like you were my children too. You were such a joy to work with. You always did what you were told, never made excuses and did your assignments with diligence and excellence. You warmed up the room with that sweet, kind smile of yours. And you made it clear, you were there to be a cop because you wanted to help others.
You will never be forgotten, Jennifer. You will be in our hearts forever.

I did not know you and that doesn't matter. You wore the uniform like I, and that did ,atter. We enforced that same laws and wrote the same kind of tickets. We wanted to do the same, Bring peace and harmony to a city with no shame. You will be missed and not forgotten, as we are brothers & sisters in blue, and we don't leave no one behind. May God be with you family and friends and you death no be forgotten. Jennifer, you sounded like a wonderful partner and you and Matt did not deserve to die! Make heaven a safe place Jennifer.

My heart is heavy and my eyes filled with tears as I read Jennifers reflections. As a police officer, it hurts to lose another 'brother in blue', but as a woman, it hurts to lose another sister.

To My Only Sister
Everything is so stange without you present. I know you will always be with me throughout my life but I miss you calling me everyday or being able to call you. I will call your cellphone to hear your voice, hoping it won't be the last time. Please come to me if you ever need to talk, I am also waiting to talk to you. I am writing to you every single day in a journal and I will leave it open for you every night. When that journal is filled, I will buy another one and keep doing that till we meet again. I will wear your clothes to feel that much closer to you and buy a lot of that Joe Boxer perfume you love. Mom, Dad, and I will keep fighting for you as long as it takes. JJ, I miss you so much I can't even discribe. Just keep your arm around me like in every picture since we were little. Remember that I have and will always love you with all my heart. Thank you for the flower smell.

Love Your Little Sister- Becky (Bee)

Officer Fettig,
I hate I never got to know you. I am a female Officer and even though I get upset hearing of any officers passing, it is especially troublesome hearing of a fellow sister officer. I know what you went through to get there and your sacrifice will never be forgotten. I pray for you and your partner, Officer Bowens, I know that both of you will be watching over your fellow officers from Heaven. I will think of you both often and I will be praying for your families. GOD SPEED.....

Jenny,
I remember all of the times in high school when we would sit and chat and have good times. You were a dear friend to me and when I heard that such a horrible tragedy had happened I was floored. Why is our world so senseless and so full of violence that someone as wonderful as you should be taken from us? I regret not having kept in better touch, always assuming that one day we'd get a chance to meet again as old friends. I can only say that you will be so missed and loved by all of your friends and loved ones. You are truly were a blessing to this Earth and our hearts are emptier without you around.
Love always,
Your friend Sarah

You know it is sad when anyone you know passes be it a male or female, but when I heard that another sister in law enforcement had passed, I was deeply saddened. I am a female officer defending the East Coast and I find it quite disturbing because Jen will never have children, never get to walk down the aisle, never grow old with her friends and family but I pray for you and your family and just sacrificing yourself for the ultimate price you are indeed a hero. I am glad you were not alone at the final moment. God Bless You and your partner.

Dearest Jen,

We may have met briefly during a very difficult time in my families life that being the brutal murder of Robin. At this time I was already a L.E. Officer and felt very vulnerable in knowing I could not have done something to prevent what happened to my cousin Robin. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for never forgetting our Robin and the ultimate sacrifice you made in becoming a law enforcement officer in her memory. We dress in our pressed uniforms for work with our polished brass and head out into the world with the idea that maybe today we will save a life, or make a difference in a troubled childs life. Though we are aware that at any given moment without notice it could be our last day on this earth. We hear daily of officers giving their lives "In the Line of Duty" yet we choose to not think of our own mortality in the hopes of saving at least 1 life. You did make a difference Jen not in just 1 life but in many lives and you will never be forgotten. You will be forever in my heart my friend and fellow officer. Thank you for your dedication. DFC.

Jennifer,

You and my brother will always be remembered as true heros. I may have never met you personally but you died with my brother Matt and for that reason I consider you a sister. Your family will always be in our prayers and we won't stop until we change this legislation. Please take care of my little brother until I can join you two in heaven!! Words can never describe the pain I feel or the pride that I have for you both.

You will be missed. Its a sad thing to read that violence it being directed towards fellow officers at home while I fight a world away. Officers like you should not have to worry about bodily harm while your comrades sit in their body armor in the middle east. While we protect and defend the constitution and the American way of life, you also uphold and protect those rights in what you do every day. You and your family are in our prayers in Uzbekistan. God speed.

Jennifer,
Although I've never met you or your partner, I still am experiencing a gut wrenching feeling since your passing. Although it will never bring you or your partner back to us I can only pray for you, and that the MURDERER(S) that caused this are dealt with in the most severe method as possible. You and Matthew are my sister and brother, and I LOVE you both for your sacrifice for the residents of the City of Detroit, MI You both are true HEROES, it is time now for God to take care of you, which I'm sure is taking place as I think of you. I extend my deepest condolences to both families, and MAY GOD BLESS you all.

To all those this young officer left behind, especially her fiance and family~
Your loss is great and unimaginable to all others. Nevertheless, you must hold on to the good times and wonderful memories. Those things will never ever leave your heart or your mind. The road ahead is long and arduous, but hold on strong, and she will help guide you through it. To lose someone so soon is tragic...something no one should ever have to deal with. But know that she was serving others so that they may live in a safer world. God bless you all. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
