Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I remember this day well. The first of too many brothers lost in the line of duty! Although he had moved on from District 7, he made an impression with everyone he worked with. Although I have a hard time cheering for his Bills, I'll raise a glass in his honor the next time they play. Rest in peace, Todd...

Detective Todd Fatta was my friend, co worker and I thought of him as family. We worked beside each other everyday for years. That day I will never forget. It seems like it was yesterday. It is something that I do not want to go through again. All your friends miss you terribly. We will see you again, I love you my friend.

Thank you for your sacrifice and service to your county my brother. Continue to be in eternal peace where you can watch over your family, and all whom you have touched. May that scum bag suffer so much when he goes to hell.

Your name has been inscribed on the Florida Sheriffs and the National Law Enforcement Memorial and in our hearts. May you forever rest in peace.

Thinking of you today Todd (my cousin). I fondly remember the fun visit we had at my house when you came back home for a visit just weeks before you were unfairly taken from us. I am quite sure you are enjoying many cold beers with my Dad (Uncle Chet). May you rest in peace and know that you are missed and still thought of often.

Hard to believe its almost been ten years since you pre-maturely left us Todd. Seems like only yesterday we were sitting beside each other for those 6 months. You are sorely missed, my ex-boxing partner.

Todd....6 years. It has been 6 years and I still get the knot in my stomach. While I am happy you are at peace now, I am selfish and want you back. I have not forgotten you, and never will.

I went to our place today to eat, as I do every year today; the place you threw pasta at me and we had a straw paper fight (in between your work phone going off and off and off). I used to get so annoyed with that Nextel and now, now I wouldn't change it for the world. Darn chirps!

I saw a blue Jeep today on the way to the restaurant; go figure, I took a double take.

I miss you Gimpy. You are a true Hero and I never looked at you in any other light. May we all strive to achieve half the greatness you did.

Until we meet again,

Lisa.

Its been 5 years today and no one has forgotten what a true hero you are. Thank you again for making the ultimate sacrifice.

Your family, Friends and Agency will remain in my thoughts and prayers on your 5th EOW anniversary.

Rest in peace, sir

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones today. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones. I'm sure that the individual who caused all this pain and suffering is paying dearly with his sentence as those that molest children are not accepted by the prison inmates. I hope every day is like living in hell for him.
