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 SE Iowa. Dennis died doing a job he loved, just as I'm sure Denny did. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Denny 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 Galloway's family, friends, and co-workers are going through in losing him. 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. Please know that my thoughts are with you and that you are not alone in your "journey". Should you ever need anything please do not hesitate to contact me. (The Davis County Sheriff's Office and COPS will also always know how to reach me.)
As a fallen officer "survivor" and a friend, please accept my condolences on behalf of myself and the McElderry family. I never got the opportunity to know Denny but, I am certain he was well respected and well loved. Denny will live on in the hearts of all the lives he touched. You were all blessed to have been able to know and love Denny, even for a short time. I pray that Denny and Dennis will continue to watch over us along with all the other fallen officers all as only they can.
Thank you Sergeant Galloway 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 and all those who loved you brighter and better days,
Jocelyne :)

Our Fallen Brother
Author Unknown
As I held him close,
I began to cry
Wondering and hoping,
our friend would never die
I could see the whites of his eyes,
as he held me tight
The wind whispered through his hair
as we saw the light
He cried no more
as we fell to the ground
His one single tear,
Would never be found
Cry not my friend,
God will take you on home
The Angles in Heaven
shall not be alone
You're safe and well,
as a child to his mother
You will always be remembered as...
OUR FALLEN BROTHER
