Each time I visit this site, I pray that no names have been added. My condolences to officer Seales family. He was a true hero who was killed serving others. Our town lost an officer last month. There is still a deep emptiness in all of us. My prayers are with Officer Seales family and co-workers. May he rest in peace - our blue angel.

My prayers and thoughts are with the family, friends and brothers in blue. It is always a terrible loss to see another name added to this list. May he always be a hero to you.

My heart breaks for the family & friends of Officer Seales. I lost the man that I had been married to for 8 years on 10-3-01 when he was outside of his vehicle & was struck by a tractor trailer. May God give you all the comfort, strength & courage you will need to get through this. Come together and help each other as much as you can; it's impossible to do it alone. There are many people out here who are thinking about you & praying for you. Rest in peace Officer Seales.

THE POLICEMAN’S LAST 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 just got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I’ve wept many 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 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 judgement 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."
