To the Family of Paul Habelt,
Thank you for sharing Paul with us. He was our Brother, a confidant, and server of the community. It is now, and only now, you come to realize the vastness of your "extended family" and the genuine love and admiration we share for one another.
Greater Love Hath NO Man! Godspeed, Paul. You carried the torch so gallantly.

Paul was the kind of deputy that was always there on calls, even when it wasn't his call or even for his department. I really looked up to him for the way he loved and respected Nita. He was always there on Sundays to bring her Subway sandwiches. Im so sorry, we will all miss him.

For Tony and Paul,
Finer men one would have to try hard to find, as my friends you will be missed personally, the community will miss the your professionalism and sense of duty, but we your brothers and sisters of the badge will miss the brotherly love both of you showed each and every day, we thank you for all you have given, and your memory will live on through each of us by the journey of life you lived and the tracks you have left in our hearts.

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.
