Family, friends & co-workers,
You are in my thoughts & prayers. I'd like to share a poem with you that has helped comfort me in my loss.

"I'll See You Again Some day"

I remember our last touch,
But, today that memories not enough.
To keep these tears out of my eyes.
To fill this void left in my life.
Tho we may be far apart,
You still live here in my heart.
I'll see you again someday,
With open arms you'll walk my way.
You'll be there at heavens gate,
And once again we'll embrace,
Oh, I'll see you again some day.

Thro the years I could always count on you,
Up to the end your love helped pull me thro.
Knowing you has made me strong,
Thro my life you will live on.
Missing you is not quite as hard,
Each day I will remind my heart,
I'll see you again some day,
With open arms you'll walk my way,
You'll be there at heavens gate
And once again we'll embrace,
Oh, I'll see you again some day

Oh, I'll see you again some day.

May God bless you & keep you safe.

I retired from Law Enforcement more than 20 years ago and I still feel as if I have lost a brother or sister each time an officer falls. The ultimate sacrifice these officers gave for their fellow human being should, must and will never be forgotten.

Deputy Sheriff Edward Barnett, Ret.

The brotherhood in blue has lost two more soldiers in a senseless tragic act.
Our condolences to the department and families, we grieve also.

Just when you think you have seen, heard it all....Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for these Officers and their families... may you rest peacefully in the arms of our loving Father until we all meet again. Your new department grows by two, 762, keep our backs...

Family and Friends,
My heart is broken for you as my family of law enforcement has lost yet another. I am grieving with you and praying you will find strength through this storm.

"Final Inspection"


The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Another two senseless deaths of Police officers in this country. May you both rest in peace.

Rest peace Officer Markins. Your watch is over. Such a short life and shorter career; the senseless act of a coward saddens me greatly and at the same time angers me more. May God bless you and your family. Watch over us who are still here on watch and may your killer pay dearly and justly for his crime.
