Reflections for Police Officer Jennifer Timathy-Ann Fettig

Policeman's 23rd Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind.

He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romnas, I'm a "minister of God,"
He leads me in rightousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.

When I walk through death's valley, right up to the door,
I will fear no evil, for he comforts me more;
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.

He prepares a table, especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear Him say, "Well done..."
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.

Rest in Peace, Officer Fettig!

What a beautiful woman you are. After reading the sentiments left here for you, it's so obvious how well loved you are. From one sister in blue to another, thank you. God Bless and Rest in Peace, Jennifer.

I needed the quiet so he drew me aside.
Into the shadows where we could confide.
Away from the bustle where all day long
I hurried and worried when active and strong.

I needed the quiet tho at first I rebelled.
But gently, so gently, my cross he upheld.
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things.
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings
To heights never dreamed of when active all day.
He loved me so greatly He drew me away.

I needed the quiet. No prison my bed,
But a beautifulvalley of blessings instead.
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide.
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.

A lot of people are leaving us, police officers, soldiers, fire fighters,normal everyday people and Proof from the famous hip-hop band D12 was gunned down in Detroit. You probably saw him up there by now. Anyway, it should'nt be lonely up there with all those people around you. Anyway your passing is still on our minds, and we will never forget you. I'm always leaving reflections on here. Anyway see you later! :)

When someone is murdred,one person isn't murdred, way more people are kiled. The person that was murdered could of had a family, done things in life,but we will surely never know.Almost 3 years have passed, if you were still here, you would be 28 and who knows what you could have done for others?

Thank you, Officer Fettig, for your service to the citizens of Detroit, Michigan, and the USA. Your efforts are appreciated and will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with your family because I'm sure it does not get easier as the years go by and I know their memories of you are strong. I'm sorry your life was cut short and in such a horrible way. You are a true HERO!

I was visiting the AMW website today and finally read the printing from the airing of Robin's murder. The show aired on Jan 21st and it has just been hard to review it again. I must say it is much easier to read then to hear. I noticed they have a reflection of you and your cause. It reminded me of how you never forgot, and of your selflessness you displayed up until the end. I want you to know we will never forget what you have done and look forward to seeing justice served both for you and your partners family and friends, just as you always did for us with Robin.

I will keep everyone in my prayers, while you keep a watchful eye as well.

God Bless you.

Jennifer, as I read the reflections on this site, it was obvious how truly loved and missed you are. It is with deep respect for the service you gave that I write to say that you are remembered during this month of your second anniversary. You are truly a heroine. I know the pain of a parent who lost a beloved child at the hands of a criminal and I keep your parents in my prayers. Rest in peace, Jennifer.

Artist: Robbie Robertson Lyrics
Song: Shine Your Light Lyrics

The cry of the city like a siren's song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul passing by

These are the streets
Where we used to run where your Papa's from
These are the days
Where you become what you become
These are the streets
Where the story's told
The truth unfolds
Darkness settles in

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on

Don't wanna be a hero
Just an everyday man
Trying to do the job the very best he can
But now it's like living on borrowed time
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate like a game of chance
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
Sometimes i stumble and take a hard fall
Loose(?) hold your grip off the wall

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
Carry on

I thought i saw him walking by the side of the road
Maybe trying to find his way home

He's here but not here
He's gone but not gone
Just hope he knows if I get lost

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
To carry on

I can't believe it's been 2 years already! There's not a night that goes by that I don't think of that call with the horrible news. It changed so many lives in an instant. Jen, you were really special to a lot of people who miss you so much! You were an incredible person and a terrific police officer. I know you are watching over your family and friends everyday. Just know that we all miss you and Matt! See you soon... Love ya

It has been 2 years since you left. A lot of things have happened since you were gone. I remember everything like it was yesterday.You were young,too young.26 years old.Well in case you missed anything here is what happened.

In 2004 Ronald Reagan passed away.So did Ray Charles.You're probably hangin' out with them now.The Detroit Pistons won the NBA championship.

In 2005 The MLB All-Star game was hosted at Comerica Park in Detroit.Carrie Underwood won American Idol,and Eminem was taking a break from music to spend time with his kids.Rice became the Secretary Of State,and Rosa Parks passed away.

Now it is 2006, 2 years already. The Super Bowl was held at Ford Field in Detroit.The Pittsburgh Steelers won.One of the most important women in the Civil Rights movement,Coretta Scott King passed away.And the President gave his State Of The Union speech on Capitol Hill.And your father is doing a petition to get justice.I wish him well with it.

Oh,and that big old abandoned train station is now going to be a Detroit Police Station! If only you were here to see it,it would have been nice.

I will continue to update you on the events that pass by without you on every Feb-16 to come.

Time flys by so quickly,but relax and rest in peace,because you are not forgotten Blue Angel.
