Frank
Thanks for your service to your community, state and this great nation. You also served your country in WWI which says a lot about who you were. You no doubt saw combat overseas and then came home to protect those in your city. Thanks again for your sacrifice and outstanding service.

90 years ago you were a husband and father. You went to work each day to serve your community. Your son loved and admired you. He was only four, and I can imagine you tossing him up in the air, taking him fishing, and going on adventures. In a few short months your life would be senselessly taken.
Tonight I am making a small memorial of you for my husband's shelf at work. He too is a husband and father. He too goes to work every day and serves his community. His children love and admire him. He tosses them in the air, teaches them to play baseball, and takes them on adventures. We never know when he walks out the door, if like you, his life will senselessly be taken. He too, is an officer.
We remember you, and all the other men and women who have fallen in the line of duty. Thank you for your service.

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to serve others.
You were asked to see, what no man should ever have to see.
To go through, what no man should ever have to go through.
But you did so with pride, honor, and integrity.

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to defend those, who could not defend themselves.
To provide justice to those, who did not respect it.
To lay down your life, if the time called for it.
Again, you did not question what was asked of you.
You did it with love, compassion, and loyalty.

My faithful servant.
In times of adversity, you prayed for strength.
In times of triumph, you praised your Lord.
You served your Country, State, and city proud.
Your service will forever be remembered by the many lives you’ve touched.

My faithful servant.
When your service on this earth is finally complete.
I will welcome you home with open arms.
I will embrace you and proclaim,
“Well done thou good and faithful servant.”


I wrote this when I lost a good friend (Police officer) to a horrible disease (cancer). I think it applies to all law enforcement officers (that’s who I had in mind as I wrote), but it resonates most when we lose one in the line of duty…RIP my brother.
