Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Jo Ann I leave you this message knowing you will never read it, but I hope that others will. I want to thank you for all the times you helped me with a kind word, or the smile, that never seemed to leave your face, and all of the times I was invited into your office just to talk. You are the reason your badge will always shine brightly. You were a great officer, and a true friend. I would like to offer me deepest condolences to the men of the Dent County Sheriff's Department. Sheiff Bob Woffard you have lost a great woman and a true friend.

God bless the family of Chief Deputy Barnes, trust in God to see you through this tragic event. I Typed this in my patrol car on my laptop and her story has made me aware to sharpen my officer safety. Maybe her sacrifice stopped me from being hurt tonight and with that I will go home to my wife and 3 boys. Thank You ......

To the officers of Dent County, be safe and push forward, fight the good fight as your fallen sister would want you to.
