Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sergio, I dont know how I've been able to get through 11 months without you. I still wait for you to come walking through the door.I miss your late night phone calls I received while you were working. I know I have to go on for our kids but seeing your face everywhere makes it so hard to. I constantly see you when I look in Little Serg's eyes. He still does everything you used to do with him. Even though Bella was so young when you left us, she constantly talks about you and says "Papa" when she sees your pictures. I miss you soo much. Never forget that I Love you and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Please continue to watch over our children and guide them in the right path that you would have wanted for them. Until we meet again, Love You Always, Louise Carrera

Just dropping in to say hi..... Things are going good for us still and the Team is getting stronger and stronger.

We just watched you on 2 episodes of COPS for motivation and you looked good!

Hey Serg,
Just thought i would let you know how things are going: The kids are doing fine (as you can see) Serg and Bella ask about you every day. Bella runs to your pictures and says "papa's in the sky". As for Serg, well I guess I don't have to tell you much, he's a spitting image of you. Don't worry, they will always know who you were and how much you love them! Keep taking care of them and keep giving Louise your guidance (she misses you more than could ever be expressed with just words)...

Sergio and family,
I cannot even imagine. My heart goes out to your family and all your friends you have made on this earth. I know you had alot of them. I run into them everyday. You are so missed. I want to thank you for all the protection you have given all of us. You have been a great son, father and friend. When I see you on TV I feel like you are still around the city. I know you are, only in a different prespective. Until we meet again peace be with you and your family.

Just thinking of you today more so than ever Officer Carrera. Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice. It doesn't take a National holiday to make us remember you though. We remember every day.

I will never forget that day. In the morning you lost your life, my niece was born. It is not only a somber reminder of the frailty of life, but a reminder that God is in control. My mom has always told me that our days are numbered and when our time is up, it is up. I have a lot of faith that even when bad things happen to good people, it is in God's plan, even if we do not know or understand the reason behind it. This blind faith has provided a lot of comfort to me during times of loss and grief. May God be with your friends and family, as He has been with me during such times.

Happy Memorial Day in Heaven; we are remembering you here.

We just started block II and I wanted to thank you for keeping us all safe. I know your watching over us and hope we have made you proud so far. Our moto: One Team, One Fight, 1-6-8 rings through the Academy as we sound off from the tower, fall out from formations and motivate us during PT and D-Tac.

In your name we keep pushing. In your spirit we train harder. In your light we will become police officers.

A Warrior’s Prayer

Today is the day the Lord has made…

I prepare and ready myself for war, awaiting battle and what it holds for me.

Not because I am a seeker of oppression or the taking of another, because these are the true tests and measures of my faith and love for my God.

Lord I pray; Let my compassion and understanding run swifter than my judgments, but in moments of duress and where innocents fall underfoot, let your sword of justice destroy my enemy by my hands. And in all my endeavors, let my actions and my words glorify your name.

Daily will I face the works and the very army of satan himself and witness the horrors and evils of non-believers and the twisted motivations of the lost who seek to undermine you and hinder my aim, though none shall deter my cause for I know my calling.

Like the symbol of the eagle, the branch of peace extends first for those who seek it, but the arrows stand ready to take flight when provoked. And when provoked and tested, I will fear nothing, for I am eternally protected by my faith in you and covered in the armor of your blood.

Lord, you are my guide, my purpose and my shelter from the destructions of evil men. My Every move is according to your plan.

As a soldier for Saint Michael, satan’s armies will be trampled beneath me in your name and through all doubts cast and burdens bore will I rise again, if even in death.

For as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.

In this, I pray.

Amen

As I prepare to deal with another LODD anniversary of a former partner, I was further disgusted to find "thugs" on "youtube" singing the praises of criminal behavior and street violence in the city you worked to protect.In a fair and just world,those same hoodlums would lay in the grave and you'd still be here enjoying the sunlight and doing whats "right".But we both know the world isn't fair,and often its just downright cruel.At least for one moment you stood face to face with the cruelty in the world and didn't backdown.no one can ever take that away from you ,and the people who also live and do whats "right" in the city of rialto can sleep sounder because of it.....

No person is ever truly alone.
Those who live no more,
Whom we loved,
Echo still within our thoughts,
Our words, our hearts.
And what they did,
And who they were,
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

Happy Easter!!

Hey Serg,

Just wanted to let you know how much you are missed. I think about you and your family every day. I pray that your family can find peace. Your passing left such a large vacant space for so many people.

Rest in Peace, Big Serg

The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bill's just got to steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't Ill understand.
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell.
---Author Unknown---

Just wanted to let you know that you are missed. There isn't a day that goes by that you are not thought of. We speak your name often so that it is not forgotten. May your family find peace in the memories they have of you. I know that isn't enough at times, but at the worst times of sorrow, the memories of you have been a great comfort. Reast in peace "Big Serg"
