My heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends and members of the Lakewood Police Department on the tragic and painful loss of Officer William Preslar Jr. This unfortunate incident that caused this tragic event proves beyond a doubt he was trying to save a life rather than take one, even if that life was an animal. My prayers go out to Officer Preslar and all that knew him for he has earned that right to be with his Lord and Savior…… Blessed are the Peacemakers: For they shall be called the children Of GOD.
I never dreamed it would be me,
My name for all eternity,
Recorded here at this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more my face.
"In the line of duty,” I hear them say:
My family now the price to pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears;
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now in eternal rest.
My sword I pass to those behind,
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me,
And with heavy heart and bended knee,
I ask for all here from the past:
Dear God, let my name be the last.
