To Officer Grignon: Thank you for for your service to your country and the "ultimate sacrifice". Your bravery will not be forgotten. Go in peace Brother!
To his family and friends: There is nothing that can be said or done to make your pain go away. Just know that he is now walking with God and is now able to watch over us all and he is now able to watch over us all.
My deepest condolences.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was 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 worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time 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 for me here, 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 policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

Goodbye my brother. Today we lost another Hero. My sympathy to Officer Grignon's family, friends and Co-workers. I can't say anything that will take away your hurt and anger at this time in your lives. I can say that Officer Grignon wanted to be a cop just like the rest of us. I am sorry he had to pay the ultimate price for wanting to make his beat a safer place for all.

I did not know Officer Grignon or any of his coworkers or friends but am still very so to hear of this loss. I check the website daily and hate to see a new name added to the list. God bless the family, friends and coworkers of officer Grignon. May you find comfort in knowing that he is in a much better place than you and I. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
