Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Police Officers and Firemen are the TRUE
HEROS of this world. My sympathy to his
family, friends and fellow Officers. I don't know him personally, but it breaks
my heart to hear any Officer shot.
GOD BLESSINGS, he's in a better place.

The Lone Grey Rider

As the lone Grey Rider's framed by the setting sun.
Those left behind, know his job was well done.
In the cadence dirge, his horse rides alone.
His epitaph as one of our own.
Taps play soulfuly, the Flags folded in two.
In solemn honor,we forever Salute You.

Rest in Peace Trooper Sperr. You lived a heroic life and your presence will be missed. There's a saying that "failure is not an option" and you showed that through your heroic actions, even after being wounded that you refused to give up or fail. You are a true hero and forever will be a "Gray Rider." God bless, we'll take it from here.

In Valor there is Hope. Rest in Peace Brother.
Policeman's 23rd Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind.

He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romans I'm a "minister of God,"
He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.

When I walk through death's valley, right up to the door,
I will fear no evil, for He comforts me more;
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.

He prepares a table, especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear Him say, "Well done...,"
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.
