I came here today to reflect upon my two friends who made the ultimate sacrafice, and my heart is heavy to see we lost yet another of our brave brothers. I did not know you, but my deepest condolenses to your family and friends. I cry everyday for my brothers and sisters in blue who have gone 10-7 from their earthly tour of duty. God rest your soul, you are missed by many.

My Law Enforcement brother, you chose a path in life not traveled by many others.
A life lived for for the right reasons, a life taken for the wrong.
The taker of your life will soon face justice....it won't be long.
Thank you for your service....you will be sorely missed, by your loved ones, friends, and those of us who were only related to you by the badge.
May your soul rest in peace.

Rest assured that true justice will be dealt upon the coward that took you from our world and know that your heroic legacy will forever live on. I hope and pray that my brother who was killed on duty one month ago to the date is able to comfort and help you during your transition to Heaven and lead you to the crowd of heroes in blue who fell before you who await you with open arms.

May the Lord bless and keep safe the family, friends and co-workers of Deputy McGrane. He is patrolling with God now and keeping watch over the officers left here. We hope you are given the peace of God's love and that your grief is eased by knowing there are many of us out here who love the law enforcement community. On behalf of those of us who don't say it often enough...thank you for keeping us safe...for your protection and dedication.
Deputy McGrane...your loss is not in vain...your killer will be hunted down and he will see justice handed out in a court of law (or maybe he will fight and he simply won't win!!) Your law enforcement family will keep your family in their thoughts, hearts and prayers. I am so terribly sorry you were taken from those who love you.
That is a terrible pain which we all will try to ease...even if it is just to write on this site to remind everyone that you are appreciated. God will keep you safe and you can keep all your brother and sisters safe on their beats.
Deputies of Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department: Thank you for your work...please find this killer, but keep your dear Deputy McGrane in your hearts...that way, the bad guys don't win because there's more of us than them. Be proud, stand tall and know that your brother is still with you.
God bless you and keep you safe,
Love,
Yur new Aunt from California
