Anthony, my fallen brother now you can rest at the right hand of God the father. You served God well as his agent on earth. Now take your rightful place in Heaven. My God comfort your wife and children until they see you again in Heaven. " Blessed are the Peacemakers"

You did your job with bravery. Your death was not in vain; you will not be forgotten. God bless he who would lay down his life for another.

Rest now, brother in blue and watch over us that carry the torch forward.

This is a very brave man. I hope that the members of the community which he served truly appreciated his commitment and sacrifice to their safety. Every coworker and family member can be most proud to know that the actions of Patrolman WOODS were a true testament of his character. I salute you for your bravery. May you rest in peace in a special place. May your bravery, commitment and sacrifice never be forgotten! AC

I watched the news all night and prayed that the information I was getting was wrong. I remember how it felt when it was one of ours and MPD was there for us. I hope your brothers and sisters at MPD realize how much we feel for them. If I could have been there with you I would have. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you (or anyone else). We will pray for your whole family, friends, co-workers. The road will be a long one and we'll try to help them along. It seems your whole family is in law enforcement and this must be heartbreaking for them all. I have never met you but we work in the same city and run across the same people. This should not have happened to you or anyone else. Please tell Deputy George Selby how much we miss him and I'm sure he will be happy to take you under his wing.
