Task Force Officer Corey Sloan

My sincerest condolences to the family of this brave officer. We lost my brother to the same preventable accident on December 19th, 2002 due to the defect in the Ford Crown Victoria. We prayed that this would not happen again and are deeply saddened by the news. To the family, please know that you are not alone and believe that one day you will see him again. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family. You will not be forgotten.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift
uplifting rush of singing birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
I am the flowers that bloom.
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing.
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Having just returned from National Peace Officer Memorial week in our nations capitol, I am extremely distraught to hear of another devastating loss of a fellow Officer due to a very preventable incident that needs to be addressed immediately. I too lost my good friend (Officer R. Nielsen) in a Crown Victoria Collision on 06/12/02. No words can explain your loss at this time. My deepest sympathies go out to Troopers Newton's Wife and children as well as his police family in the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Trooper Newton will forever be in our hearts and will never be forgotten. We are here for you in your time of sorrow and together we can end these senseless tragedies. May Trooper Newton rest in peace knowing that he did his best everday and gave his today's so that we may have our tomorrow's.
