A tragic loss by yet another worthless party on the roadways. Thank you for your service and you will not be forgotten.

GOD Bless you and your family.

Rest in Peace my sister, you are free to patrol the walkways of Heaven.

My deepest sympathy to the Nunez family. There are no words that I can say to comfort you except that Margena is a true hero and hereos never die. She will never be forgotten by those that love her nor will the Blue Family ever let her be forgotten. My son too was on patrol and was killed by a drunk driver, but in my case I did not have to go to court as he was also killed. I hope her department helps the family by being there for them and especially getting them through the trial of the individual that has changed their lives forever. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still on patrol. You are a true hero.

When God made Police Officers.......

When the Lord was creating police officers, he was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of fiddling on this one?"

And the Lord said, "Have you read the spec on this order?"

"A police officer has to be able to run five miles through alleys in the dark, scale walls, enter homes the health inspector wouldn't touch, and not wrinkle his uniform."

"He has to be able to sit in an undercover car all day on a stakeout, cover a homicide scene that night, canvass the neighborhood for witnesses, and testify in court the next day."

"He has to be in top phyiscal condition at all times, running on black coffee and half-eaten meals. And he has to have six pairs of hands."

The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands...no way."

"Its not the hands that are causing me problems, "said the Lord, "its the three pairs of eyes an officer has to have."

"Thats on the standard model?" asked the angel.

The Lord nodded. One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before he asks, "May I see what's in there, sir? (When he already knows and wishes he'd taken the accounting job.) Another pair in the side of his head for his partners' safety. And another pair of eyes here in the front that that can look reassuring at a bleeding victim and say, "You'll be all right ma'am, when he knows it isn't so."

"Lord,"said the angel, touching his sleeve, "rest and work on this tomorrow."

"I can't" said the Lord, "I already have a model that can talk a 250 pound drunk into a patrol car without incident and feed a family of five on a civil service paycheck."

The angel circled the model of the police officer very slowly, Can it think?" she asked.

"You bet." said the Lord. "It can tell you the elements of a hundred crimes: recite Miranda warnings in it's sleep" detain, investigate, search, and arrest a gang member on the street in less time it takes five learned judges to debate the legality of the stop...and still keeps its sense of humor.

"This officer also has phenomenal personal control. He can deal with crime scenes painted in hell, coax a confession from a child abuser, comfort a murder vicitm's family, and then read in the daily paper how law enforcement isn't sensative to the rights of criminal suspects."

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the police officer. "There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."

"Thats not a leak," said the Lord, "its a tear."

"What's the tear for?" asked the angel.

"Its for bottled-up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment to that funny piece of cloth called the American flag, for justice."

"You're a genius," said the angel.

The Lord looked somber. "I didn't put it there," he said.

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Nunez's husband, children, family, friends and co-workers. I was married to Alabama State Trooper Brian Nichols EOW 2/17/2002 and I am now married to Washington County Deputy Sheriff Aaron Carpenter. All of your COPS family is here for you and hurting for you. We all became a family when our loved ones became police officers and now we have even a stronger bond when one of our family members go down. We are here for you to help you along this journey you now have joined with us. God bless you all.
