Day is done,
gone the sun.
From the hills,
from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.
Godspeed to you and your family

To a brother I have never met. Thank you for your service and the sacrifice you have made to the never ending battles of this country.
Lord knows I have chased many of suspects into the state of Georgia. There has always been a warm welcome by the sea of blue lights and sirens from Georgias finest. There has never been a time you guys were not there for me and many of my coworkers as well. I wish I could have been there for you!
Know that you will never be forgotten by your comrades.
Rest easy bro!

However, we regret that this man had to pay the ultimate price. Such a loss to us all. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and coworkers.

The Trooper 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 Trooper, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek, To my church have you been true? The Trooper squared his shoulders and said "No, I guess I ain't, because those of us who wear a badge can't always be a Saint." I've had to work most Sundays and at times my talk is 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've worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep. And I never passed a cry for help though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes God forgive me, I've wept 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 here 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 a silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod, As the Trooper waited quietly for the judgement of his God. "Step forward now Trooper, You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell."
P.S. Watch over us carefully and keep us safe while we try to earn the respect, pride and title you so valiantly earned.

I was saddened to hear of Trooper Lumley's tragic end. I have been to Georgia on many occasions and am always impressed with the professionalism of the Georgia State Patrol. I will pray for him and his family, including his brothers and sisters in blue. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers for they are truly the children of God. Rest easy my brother.

It's never easy to learn of another law enforcement officer struck down while doing what they love to do. Although I never personally knew Trooper Lumley, I am none the less deeply saddened by this loss.
Good luck and may God be with you on your new beat.
