Dear Harold:
I got such a sick feeling when I heard the news. You gave your life trying to save someone else. The only thing that comes to mind, is the song that Mariah Carey made some years back..."Hero". The lyrics, the very title, are definitive of you and your actions.
My prayer for your family is that they know they are not alone, we are all here for them. And for you, well, sir, I pray that our God holds you next to Him, and continues to bless our police officers...wherever they are.
Amen

All of your COPS family is here for you and hurting for you.
