'days turn into weeks and weeks into years,but it only takes a second of lasting memories'
If you share the burden of blame for you untimely death and it takes a piece of New York Legislation in your name to make it a crime to flee a law enforcement officer, then thank you Craig for that second of your time. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

You would not believe the snow we got on Friday night. I wanted to stay in and keep warm, but for some reason, I thought of you. I had to laugh at myself when I bundled up and decided to go out in the snow. I got a cup of coffee and put my jeep in 4-wheel drive. I drove up by O.C.C. to look at that huge green house that we watched "go up". It was a great adventure! It seems like there are signs of you all over; I want you to know that I got the message. Haha, I bought the tickets. It's strange how things work sometimes isn't it? I should run- just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. Keep an eye on Carl would ya?

God has many angels and a special group of them wear badges to root out evil.
You paid the ultimate sacrifice with your life and now you patrol the heavens with the elite.

May God bless you and your Family

We wanted to be the first to say Happy New Year. Even though you aren't physically with us, its a new year to look forward to with many daily thoughts and reminders of you. The past months without you are still painful but having you in our thoughts will always make us happy. We all have things happen to us that can be devasting in different ways, but I found in the past year and a half that the pain is still crushing when someone you love so much isn't with you whether they are physically here or not. You know what I mean. Its the presence of that person missed is what hurts the most. And when I feel like I can't move forward, I think of what I have here in front of me. Its helps and gets me through the day. We all grieve differently but it hurts the same. I read this saying once .... Things may not have turned out exactly as I may have planned, but while I'm here I might as well dance. We celebrate you Craig and always will and all the reminders will stay the same. We love and miss you.

Craig, Thanks for keeping watch over us over the past year. I think it is safe to say we still talk and think of you every day, and that will never end! Now that we have Lindsay, it is like a little reminder of you! You must be so proud! Please keep us close, as we keep you close, God Bless!

Hey Craig,

There is not a day that has gone by that I don't think about you. I drove by your parents house on christmas and thought about them and your family. I know that you are watching over us all now and keepeing us safe, but that doesn't make it any easier. I miss you man! As I'm sure you know the kid on the motorcycle was found guilty on 2 charges and he will be sentenced in a few weeks, and many of your friends will be there to watch him go away. Thanks for everything over the years, you were a true inspiration for many of us! Keep watching over us and keep us safe.

Trooper Todeschini rest in Peace, and as one more official duty may you pave the way to Heaven for all whose lives were touched by your life and your passing. May all who mourn you remember your family and pray for their continued strength in these coming days for your wife, newborn daughter and young son and for everyone commissioned to be their caregivers. You may be physically gone but through the greatest of Gods gifts Love, you will never be forgotten. And when I get to Heaven I will look for the biggest Smile to find you to say thank you once again.
