My fiancé, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. Dennis was a Deputy Sheriff with the Davis County Sheriff's Office in southeast Iowa. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure Hoyt did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Hoyt be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Sergeant Teasley's family, friends, and co-workers must be feeling. My heart goes out to you all. 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 Hoyt 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 Hoyt was well respected and well loved. You were blessed to have had him in your life, even for a short time.

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

Wishing you brighter and better days,

Jocelyne :)

An angel He directs to find
For each his own kind
For those that have gone before
To lead him now to the new shore.

An officer Angel did lead the way
A fellow officer to his new day
The officer's new beat found
to God's own officer's ground.

God bless all those before , those now , and the ones he will call

A Brother Warrior has fell and died today in battle.

He has given his life for his Fellow Warriors, his family and friends too.

Brother Warrior, pass your sword to us, so we can keep your spirit alive.

You, my Brother Warrior will not be forgotten.

God Bless you, your family and your friends.

We honor and respect all of the Fallen Warriors who have gone before us.

We ask you, Brother Warriors to guide us, protect us and pray for us.

We will meet again my Brother Warriors.
