We pray everyday that we will not get the call that one of our officers, one of our own, is down. July 25, 2005 will forever be burned in our memories, for this is the day my cousin, a beloved husband, son, father and friend was sent to Heaven. He was taken so quickly and much too early in life for us to ever comprehend or to ever forget the presence his life has had on all of us. May you, Todd, walk with God and forever watch over your wonderful wife and children and know that you will never, ever be forgotten. I love you with all of my heart.
Your cousin, Leanne

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 upon me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think 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 ***
