Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dear Ron,

It has been a while since you have left us, but it feels like yesterday everytime i drive pass that very spot or see your smiling picture hanging on the wall. It is hard to imagine what your family went through, but i only hope that one day they will find peace as you do in Heaven. You are a hero that will never be forgotten...

I Have read so many reflections on this website, however, I have never been so touched by one like this. The love that a mother has for a child is undescribable. I can almost feel the pain she felt in the words she used. However, when I read that Officer Ronald Leon De Herrera was reunited in Heaven with his mother, it brought so many tears of sadness for the family for another loss but yet tears of joy for his mother being able to hold her Baby again.
As a mother of two and a wife of an officer, I pray each day for my husband to come safely to our children and to me.
May peace be with Officer DeHerrera and his mother.
And to the family, all my love and prayers be with you always....

I can only offer my sincere Apologies for the Loss of Officer Deherrera, in reading your Memorial page I must also give prayers to your mother, who is no longer with us, R.I.P. Mother and Son are now together, the way it's supposed to be. Take care of us, and watch over us.

It's been three months since moms passing and it only feels like yesterday. Words cannot explain how deeply you and her are missed. I know you're together now and that you'll always be with us. It's just hard getting used to the fact that two very important people in my life are now passed. No one can tell us they know what we're going though. Us being Richard, Donald and myself. Your siblings hurt with pain and devistation. To no degree is this what we thought our family would be like. We miss you both and still need you very much in our lives. Love you!

Ron-
I was sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. However now after reading all that she left for you on this page, I am sure that it wasn't too hard for her to leave her earthly existence to live with you in heaven, for eternity.
I was honored to be your family's escort for National Police Week in 1998. I had the opportunity to show my family the Memorial in DC this summer, and we all took a moment to pray over your name.
Proverbs 28, 1 says: "The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are as bold as a lion." This is engraved in the marble on the Memorial, underneath one of the huge lions that guard the entrance. Your middle name is Leon, which means lion in Spanish. You were righteous and bold, and already thought of as a lion at birth when your parents named you. I only wish that you had been blessed with more time on this earth, and on the job.
Your sacrifice will never be forgotten! God bless you and all of your loved ones who still suffer from you loss.
