Hi Baby.... It's been awhile since I've left a note to you on your page. Just want to let you know that you are ALWAYS in our thoughts and in our hearts. To this day.... It is still so unreal that you are apart from us, but I do know you are still smiling that beautiful smile of yours and looking down on us. Wondering what pranks and jokes you are pulling off up there makes me smile. We look to you as our "Guardian Angel" and ask that you keep us safe from harm and give us your strength for health. We MISS you everyday and LOVE you so very much.

I was searching for my dear friend Patti Saucedo/Larson on the internet to find her very special brother has passed. God bless as Gabe has the best family anyone could desire. We have fond memories of their trips from Clifton to Tucson in the suburban to visit when he was young. God Bless.

Officer Saucedo,

What would the average citizen say if it were proposed that Police Officers be assigned to a neighborhood which was inhabited by no one but criminals and those Officers would be unarmed, patrol on foot and be heavily outnumbered ? I wager that the overwhelming public response would be that the Officers would have to be crazy to accept such an assignment. However, as you read this, such a scenario is being played out in all areas of the country. We are Correctional Officers, not Guards(Who are people that watch school crossings). We work at minimum, medium and maximum security Correctional Facilities. We are empowered by the State to Enforce its Penal Laws,Rules and Regulations of the Department of Corrections. In Short, we are Policemen. Our beat is totally inhabited by convicted felons who, by definition, are people who tend to break laws, rules and regulations. We are outnumbered by as many as 100 to 1 at various times of our workday and, contrary to popular belief, we work without a sidearm. In short, our necks are on the line every minute of every day. A Correctional Facility is a very misunderstood environment. The average person has very little knowledge of its workings. Society sends its criminals to Correctional Facilities and, as time passes, each criminal's crime fades from memory until the collective prison population becomes a horde of bad people being warehoused away from decent society in a place where they can cause no futher harm. There is also the notion that prison inmates cease to be a problem when they are incarcerated. Correctional Facilities are full of violence perpetrated by the prison population against the prison population and facility staff, Felonies are committed daily but are rarely reported. They are called "unusual incidents" and rarely in criminal prosecution. Discipline is handled internally and, as a rule, the public is rarely informend of these crimes. In the course of maintaining order in these facilities, many Officers have endured the humiliation of having urine and feces thrown at them. Uncounted Correctional Officers have been kicked, bitten, stabbed and slashed with home made weapons; taken hostage; murdered; and even raped in the line of duty, all while being legally mandated to maintain their professional composure and refraining from any retaliation which could be the basis for dismissal from service. In addition to these obvious dangers, Correctional Officers face hidden dangers in the form of AIDS, Tuberculosis or Hepatitis B and C. Courts are now imposing longer sentences and the prison population is increasing far beyond the system's designated capacity. As the public demands more police on the street, governments everywhere are cutting police in prison where violence reins supreme, jeopardizing all those working behind prison walls. Although you will never see us on "Top Cops" we are Law Enforcement Professionals. We are the "FORGOTTEN COP," hidden from public view, doing a dangerous beat, hoping someday to receive the respect and approval from the public whom "WE SILENTLY SERVE"

My very precious brother,I miss you very much.It has been a difficult time without you. I have thought about the joy of cutting your curly locks for you, and the "just in time" visits of when i showed up. It always makes me smile. On that note, I pray our family can honor you on this earth by laughing and smiling and bringing each other joy of our coveted precious times with you. You gave us so much joy!!! I know we will all try to encourage each other to remember you and honor you until we see you again. I thank you for watching out for us. Love your sister

Hey bro, yesterday was the day that we all lost you, I tried to make it to the memorial that was held in honor for you, but times got mixed up. I still got to see Toni and the kids, you know it still hurts me to see them, cuz i know how much you love them, and how much they love you. My fiance just had a baby five months ago, i named him Gabriel, after you, my best friend. I just hope that im half the dad you are for your kids. And i also want you to know that im still working my way out of PD just like i promised, i got a few more months untill i finish my paramedic class and im out. You will always be one of my most amorable friends and I will always have our crazy stories to tell our kids when they grow up, I pray for you every day and think of you and the family also, God bless you until I see you again my friend.
