Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's been a while since Liz and I last spoke. We went to the same high school and I never knew we shared the common bond of Law Enforcement. I can only imagine how great an officer she was. I know she will be forever missed.

PFC Magruder
During Police Week 2005 I had the Honor and the Priviledge to meet your son and husband at the Wall . You would be proud of your son,he is quite the young man . In meeting them it reminded me that how important it is to tell your family that you love them ,when you walk out the house to do your tour.
Elizabeth I'm sure as you look down from Heaven you know the your brothers and sisters in Blue ,will always look-out for your family, that you left behind .

Deputy Elizabeth Magruder:
It was a tragic event leading to your lose. My husband being a fellow session 95 classmate and a PG Police officer, I stood by his side as we attended your memorial. I came to relize that day what a tradegy it is for your family when I think that that could have been my husband. My deepest simpathy to your husband, Derwinn and your son.
We, the PG County FOP 89 Auxiliary, remember you and all fallen officer's in Prince George's County every year in a Memorial Ceremony. It is not enough for the lose, but we WILL never forget you.

ONE MOMENT

In the whisper of the wind,
I felt God embrace me.
As the voice of a loved one,
I heard God speak to me
Looking in a mirror
I saw God smile at me.
One moment and I knew
That God and I were one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Though your smile is gone forever,
And your hands we cannot touch;
Still we have so many memories
Of the one we loved so much.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we will never part.
God has you in His keeping
And we have you in our hearts.
We know you walk beside us,
And when our lives are through,
We pray that God will take our hands
And lead us straight to you.

Dfc. Magruder I will miss you and remember you forever. As a member of session 95 and your co-worker at the Sheriff's office, you were one of the greatest deputy ever.

Liz we all miss you. We only knew you for a short period of time in the acadamy.. I being the wife of one of your fellow classmates felt it was necessary to write. It was to close to home the day I saw your story on the news. Somehow I knew it was you who had left us that day before they even anounced it on the t.v. We were all shocked and sadened that day. We were all there the day they laid you to rest. It was a sad day for all but we all know you are watching over us. We miss you Liz. I am proud to call you a friend.

A hero has left us. Your watch was short but you give your life to protect others. You are in god's hands and may he take care of you, your son, husband and the rest of your family. You will always be a law enforcement officer and we will never forget you. May you continue your watch of the streets in Heaven as you watch over all of us. Your love, leadership, commitment, and honor will remain within us.

I send my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Private Magruder. A special prayer goes out to her son and husband. The thin blue line is a little thinner with this Officer's passing. The International Association of Women Police salutes this fine young officer who held so much promise and died doing the job she loved. Godspeed Elizabeth.

What a tragic waste. My prayers go out for your family, particularly your young son. I hope one day he will realize the scope of your love to risk your life for others and ultimately so his life might be better. John 15:13

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Liz. You have a long road ahead of you. Just know that God is with you in every step you take and will always be there for you! Please use any support groups offered and know that Liz extended family will always have your back in a time of need.

The horrible news never seems to go away. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, and your dept. Thank you for the time you gave, you made a tremendous difference in this world. Rest in peace my sister in blue, a hero will never be forgotten.

Your young son will only have a vague memory of you in the flesh, but in the spirit he will have the peace that someday, you will be together again. God's plan doesn't always make sense to us, but He tells us to "lean not on our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct our paths." We cannot possibly know why, only hope the deaths of these courageous Deputies were not in vain. Thank you for your service and dedication....
Isaiah 40:31

As I move into my own law enforcement career, I'm continuously reminded of just how inherently dangerous the duty is. However, I continue to move forward, as you did, accepting the danger because we feel drawn to the duty. May God send his guardian angels to ease the suffering of your family and grant them peace. For now, rest easy sister - we'll continue the watch for you.

My prayers are with your entire family. I had a family member killed in the line of duty last November. Even though you are going through this grief, it will be comforting to know that the support of the community and fellow police officers will help you through it all.

May God Bless you and your family.
