Reflections for Officer Carlos Winston Owen
Take this opportunity to never let another day go by to let someone in your life know that they are loved, for we never know when that opportunity may be snatched away. May God bring you the comfort and peace you so richly deserve at this time.

I heard the news today on Ace & TJ radio show in Charlotte, NC and wanted to say that I am saddened by this news and your whole family is in my prayers. I know God has received these men and has a special place for them. I hope that your family is honored by the fact that your husband, father, grandfather, etc unselfishly protected the public. I have family members in law enforcement and I know how hard it is to loose someone so quickly. God bless you and I will pray that God will grant you strength through these difficult times.
