Jill,
I remember you from the academy and it still is shocking to think your gone. You were funny, witty and a true pleasure to be around. After the academy, I remember going to the Jersey Shore with you and Nicole, and we had a great time. Rest in Peace and know you will never be forgotten.

To the family of Jill,
The holiday season is upon us and this year will be tough on you. Your daughter sacrificed her life doing something she loved. I did not know her, but having been in law enforcement for the past 19 years, I have seen to many deaths of my brothers and sisters. She will not be forgotten. I will say a prayer for Jill and her family. Remember the good times you shared with her. Happy Holidays.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Trooper Mattice. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Jill, she sounds like she was a great woman with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew her in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Jill's life and the WOMAN that she was. Remember that Jill's life was about so much more than the way she died. Jill will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember her.

Trooper Mattice, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been seven years and a half years but he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)
