Rest in peace. You served Hardin County well. You were out there, putting your life on the line, trying to assist someone else in need, and ended up falling in the line of duty, you are one of the true heros, among the other officers on this page.
Deepest sympathy to your friends and family.

So Young.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Deputy Edwards for her sacrafice. Rest in Peace.
"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his 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 badges
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 times 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 silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

My thoughts and prayers are with this officer and her family at this tragic time.May Our Lady and the Angels comfort and keep you all.

I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. It seems so hard to find the words to help comfort a mother/father/brother/sister and friend of a fallen Officer. Our Department lost a fellow Deputy a couple of years ago and it is one of the most tragic things to overcome. I want to let the family and friends of Deputy Edwards know that our thoughts and prayers are with them through this tragic time.
