Reflections for Detective Kevin Shumway Orr
Sir, you have not died in vane. Your heroic efforts will live on forever in the memories of the ones who knew and loved you. Your shift is not over. Like those who came before you there is still work for you to do. Hopefully you will not be called on to completed your shift for some time. But there will come a day when there is an Officer/Deputy who is alone and in pain. Who will be in need of comfort and for someone to show them the way home, and that is when you will be called upon to finish your shift. Like Deputy Wright and those who went before you. Rest now brother we got it from here.

"Final Call"
An Angel In The Sky Must Leave His Place Of Rest,
Gently Tucking His Wings Beneath His Armored Vest.
For Duty Has Called, There Is Much Work To Do
Little Did He Know, This One Is bleeds Blue.
Arriving On The Scene, He Knows Just What To Say,
"Follow Me, My Fallen Brother, I'll Show You The Way."
"Your Duty Has Ended, Your Work Is Now Through."
"Come Hang Your Hat Beside Mine, were all faimly I'm A Cop, Too."

This really brought home the passing of one of my deputies. Dep. Tom Rice was also searching for a missing female when his helicopter hit lines and went down.
I am really saddened to hear of this, as I am when any LEO loses their life. I pray for all involved in this, from the recovery, fellow Deputies and the Dispatchers.
Rest in Peace Detective Orr!

A POLICEMAN'S PRAYER
BROTHER WHEN YOU WEEP FOR ME REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
LAY ME DOWN AND WHEN YOU LEAVE REMEMBER I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE...IN EVERY DARK AND DREARY ALLEY I'LL BE THERE AS YOU SLOWLY TREAD, ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN THE DRIVING SNOW I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT AND YOU WILL KNOW.
IN PLACES WHERE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID TO WALK...
AT DOORS WHERE YOU MEET RESISTANCE...
IN HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN HIDE...
YOU KNOW I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE.
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I NOW RESPOND IS OVERSTAFFED WITH HEROES GONE...MEN WHO ANSWERED ONE LAST JOB AND DID IT WELL.
AS POLICEMEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CARD DEALT IN OUR HAND...A CARD WE HOPE WE NEVER PLAY BUT WE HOLD IT THERE ANYWAY.
THE CARD IS SOMETHING WE IGNORE AS WE STAND ON THAT THIN BLUE LINE EVERY TOUR...FOR WE KNOW THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PRAYER FOR MANY OUT THERE.
SO REMEMBER, AS YOU WIPE YOUR TEARS, THE JOY I HAVE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...AS THE JOB I LOVED TO DO I PRAY THAT THIS THOUGHT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

Thank you! You are truly a HERO! I am praying for the family. We should all be "Giving Thanks" tomorrow when we are with our loved one's, that there are officer's willing to make this kind of sacrifice. God be with all of the families that have lost a loved one this year.
