O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of your servant Robert, and grant him an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day our brother Robert. We thank you for giving him to us, his family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Kozminski and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Officer Kozminski has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family and friends of Officer Kozminski, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Kozminski is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
