Correctional Officer's Farewell

We all know it can happen,
When we put our Colors on.
It only takes an instant,
Then one of us is gone.

Day to day we walk our beat,
In God we put our faith.
‘Cause we’re the law inside the wall,
We keep the Public safe.

You’ve done the job that few can do,
Your shift is at an end.
Farewell my Brother, Rest in peace,
On you we could depend.

To the family and friends of Officer Stephen Anderson,

My prayers and thoughts are with you...the true heroes are Correctional Officers who always make me think of a quote from the movie, "A Few Good Men" Where Demi Moore says to Tom Cruise about the Marines, "why do you like them so much"? and she says, "Because they sit by the fence line late at night and say nothing is going to hurt you tonight, not on my watch". Peace be with you, Officer Stephen
Anderson, and may your children always be proud of your being a hero.

Sincerely,
Jackie Lowe

Thank you Officer Anderson, for your years of service. A really big thank you also goes out to his family. Families in our line of service are often the most overlooked, and they are the ones who often give the most, but are seen the least. My thoughts and prayers are with you, during this horrible time. My thoughts and prayers won't stop once the funeral if over. You'll be in my prayers for the next couple years. God bless.
