May God Bless and keep your family in the palm of his hand. You gave your all. You did a job most folks would never do. You never questioned it. You never said no. You got up everyday, no matter the shift assignment and you went to work. You left behind all the you hold dear and you went out into the field to face down evil. Yes, Hero, you gave your all. The world is better for it but the world also now sheds a tear for your loss. Stand down Officer and RIP.
To those who still bravely look evil in the eye...I pray that you know God is always with you and the Spirit of the Lord will comfort and keep you. Remember always those who have gone before us because no one dies unless they are forgotten.
with Much Love and Respect

There are no magic words I can offer your loved ones to help them with their grief except that you are a true hero and will never be forgotten. So many broken hearts left behind, all because of the action of an individual who had to respect for human life. Wrap your wings around your loved ones, protect them and help them with their grief. You have not nor will you ever be forgotten.

Mrs. Prendes,
I want you to know that Sgt. Prendes life did make a difference. My Niece Tracey Giancolla, whose Fiance Frank is a LV Cop, emailed me two nights ago that they were both baptized at your church last Sunday. They are getting married next July. Her Dad died for weeks ago, so I'm sure she"s on an emotional roller coaster. She wrote how impressed she was meeting you. I hope tomeet you next year.
Love In Christ,
Dan Lynch
