Reflections for Police Officer David Frank Mobilio
Though I did not personally know Officer Mobilio, it is with great sadness I leave this reflection. To the family I say be strong, be proud of what he stood for and may God bless you all. To the friends, nothing can take the memories away - keep them alive. To the co-workers, God speed in your investigation, I pray for closure. I too know what it's like to lose a co-worker in the line of duty. Never forget, be strong and keep the faith. From a fellow DARE Officer to another you will not be forgotten Officer Mobilio. God Bless You!

It's a very sad day for America and law enforcement. Another warrior and hero was lost. Your sacrifice will be remembered forever and we will all carry on our duties in your name and in the names of hero's lost like you. God bless your soul, your wife and young son. Never forget Mrs. Mobilio, and never let your young son forget, Officer Frank Mobolio was and will always be a hero. RIP brother.

THE POLICEMAN’S LAST ROLL CALL ...
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."

It never gets easier to come here and see another name added to the list. It's such a shame that Officer Mobilio was in the wrong place at the wrong time...and some sick person took advantage of that. Officer Mobilio, may you rest in peace. And to the Mobilio family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
