I was at the Memorial this morning at around 2:00am... where it was nice and quiet. I cleaned up all of the mess, lit as many candles as I could. Stayed there for a while, saluted you and left.

You are missed.

What can be said about Kenny? Those who knew him will never be able to forget him. He always had something funny to say. Everyone who met him will probably have a unique hilarious story about Kenny, he was always making people laugh and doing funny things. When things got serious, you wouldnt even need to worry because kenny was behind you no matter what. We all are going to miss you. Rest in Peace brother.

Well Ken, I just left your wake. You would be proud... there were brothers from all over the state at your wake today. We had blocks of Franklin Avenue blocked off because some many of your brothers came to see you.

We will all see you tomorrow at Holy Family, brother and we will all eventually see you guarding the "Pearly Gates"

Your memorial on Union Avenue is beautiful. I will visit it again tomorrow after Holy Family.

I will do my best to hug your wife and shake your childrens hands.

With all of my love and respect,

Justin

The following is a Fallen Officer's Prayer that was found while a Pueblo Police Officer visited the N.Y.P.D. Museum & Ground Zero in 2005 Officer's Prayer

Fallen Officer’s Prayer

I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
My Name For All Eternity.
Recorded Here At This Hallowed Place.
Alas, My Name, No More My Face.
'In The Line of Duty' I Hear Them Say.
My Family Now The Price To Pay.
My Folded Flag Stained With Their
Tears.
We Only Had Those Few Short Years.
The Badge No Longer On My Chest.
I Sleep Now In Eternal Rest.
My Sword I Pass To Those Behind And
Pray They Keep This Thought In Mind.
I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
And With A Heavy Heart And Bended
Knee, I Ask For All Here From The
Past...
Dear God, Let My Name Be The Last.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

To the family and friends of Officer Santucci and the members of the Belleville Police Dept.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you have suffered when Officer Santuccu was tragically killed.

To Officer Santucci's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

Heaven may have another hero, but how I wish it wasn't so. In reading his reflections, I can see that Kenneth was an amazing man.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Kenneth gave to his community and the citizens of New Jersey, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 6, 2008.

I only knew Kenny from Nursing School. I remember him always smiling and joking. Even better, he left you smiling after talking to him. We have truly lost an angel. He will be missed. It is a reminder of how fragile life is and that each day is a blessing.We should remember to love and appreciate our loved ones when they're here. This hits close to home also because my Husband,Doug Fields is on the job in Elizabeth. A little over two weeks ago he almost didn't make it home one night. He was shot at by a couple of punks who stole a cell phone, an ipod, and $10. Can you imagine.... My heart breaks for Kenny's family and friends. I can't comprehend the pain his wife must be in. I especially feel for the child who will never see his Father's smile.

Prayers and blessings
