Reflections for Police Officer Daniel S. Bessant

God Bless Officer Bessant and his family, friends, and co-workers. It is so sad that another hero was shot down from behind. He died trying to make his city a safer place for his family and the citizens of Oceanside. He will not be forgotten.

I know of no words that will suffice. This is such a tragedy.
I would like for the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Dan Bessant to know that there are folks all across this country that will lift you up in prayer before the Almighty.
May you each experience God's eternal love and endless blessings in the coming days.

We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss. May His presence begin the healing in your heart and soul, and may His love surround you with the comfort only He can give.

Thank you for your unselfish service to others. You will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace.

It is hard to believe that this goes on, much heartfelt prayers and thoughts to the friends and family of Officer Bessant. You will never be forgotten, you are a true hero! Really saddens me that a two month old child will grow up without her father. Watch over them, they will need you. Rest in peace my friend.

Any officer LOD is tragic, but especially this time of the year, it is worse, even more so since this is Dan's baby's first Christmas.

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family, Dan. May they find the strength that they need to make it through this time. They will find comfort in knowing that you will be watching over them at all times now.

Godspeed Brother, may you find the peace that is waiting for you as you guard Heaven's Gates.
