TO: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER : O, gentle Lord! Keep the day / night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent on me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think that no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. ** REST IN PEACE** Sent to you by the father of Master Officer J.D.Koeppen, Capital City Raleigh NC; Trooper D.C. Koeppen, NJ State Police and Cadet Officer A.M. Koeppen Wilmington N.C.

Wille Baby, I'm glad we had the time in the 120th together, in Patrol, and in Motors. You gave us all so much, and on that fateful day, even though you were leaving early to be with your family, you took a few extra minutes to talk before you headed out the door. A lot of people will mourn how you died. I will always celebrate how you lived. I salute you for a life in which you were well loved, and to a life well lived. Willie, I, along with a whole lot of others will be here for your family, and your folks. God bless you Willie Baby.

Seuis Family and Friends,

My father always told me that I would be absolutely crazy to ride a bike or join the solos...I'm already crazy, so I guess I have half of the battle under my belt, but, it takes an absolute special person with intestinal fortitude to battle the horrendous drivers of today, on a motorcycle, depending solely on your tenacious skills to get you through the ride safely- no one ever sees you, nor do they have the patience to take the time and look! Thank-you for your service and fidelity to the tough streets of the Bay Area. Thank-you to your family and friends who supported everything that you did and the sacrifices that you all made! God bless you and yours, Patty. Semper Fi.

My thoughts and prayers go to family, friends and the Oakland PD. We recently lost a motor officer in an accident on the interstate here. It's not an easy feeling that we can't have those we lost with us. We must continue the watch for them and those they loved.

My fiance, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure William did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and William be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Officer Seuis' family, friends, and co-workers must be feeling. My heart goes out to you all, especially to his wife. No one can truly understand the pain of our loss until they've walked in our shoes. I wish I could give you a few words of wisdom to help you through this tough time, but there isn't anything I can really say or do to make the situation better. Just know that my thoughts are with you.

Please accept my condolences on behalf of the McElderry family and remember that William is part of huge law enforcement family. If you ever need anything any number of them will be there for you (as I've quickly found out!) From reading the many reflections posted here, I am certain William was well respected and well loved.

Thank you for a job well done Officer Seuis and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please say "hello" to my fiance Dennis for me.

Peace, Love, Luck, and Happiness!
