Rest in Peace sister and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

To the Quintero family,
I'm so very saddened to hear of the loss of a wife, a mother, a grandmother and a sister. I would like to thank Major Quintero and her other family members who chose law enforcement as the family business. Thank you all so very much for your service. I will pray for you all, as well as Major Quintero's friends and colleagues.

I not only am so sorry, but Hate, the loss of a Family member! Yes, Mother Nature doesn’t have to like it, but it happens….and caused it, still breaks my heart!
I was fortunate enough to be a Florida State Trooper for just under three decades, I’ve seen a hurricane or two…… including Andrew, which I was there, what happened was not expected, but still upsets me!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! Unfortunately you went through what most never expect or will never go through in a Police Officers career!
I’m sorry if I come across as blunt (Too long Homicide) , but the Love of a fellow Officer is definitely there!
To the Family, the Officers family, friends, kin, She gave her life as she knew it could happen, not how, but possible! Doesn’t mean we have to like it, we wont!
I’m sure that the correct words are hard to find for all! It’s “You are awesome, you’ll never be forgotten, and you have all my prayers!!
GOD BLESS!!
Once a Police Officer, Always a Police Officer! My chest hurts for you and all Officers, never easy!!!✝️
