My deepest condolences to all the Family, Friends and Coworkers of this Fallen HERO...I cried like I lost a family member on Thursday. I never met you, talked to you or seen you but you have made a huge impact in my life. I brought you flowers, I knelt in prayer and I talked to you. I make a point of kissing my man every day when he goes to work and the minute he gets home...He is a Corrections Officer and I see the danger in his career also....We take you guys for granted.... To Mrs Somohano I am so sorry for your loss...You keep being a strong lady ...for Jose is right by you in spirit every step of the way.

Kindest Regards

Ms. Maria Coleman

We knew this person
as loved one and friend,
giving service;
walking tall until the end.

Honor their memory
with sweet tender thoughts,
and keep a warm place
for them in your hearts.

Our brothers and sisters
laid to rest,
in hallowed ground
who gave their best.

To the God of Love
this fallen- yet rising star,
receive into thy kingdom
yonder afar.

A crown of jewels
they fought the good fight,
giving their life
every day and night

Do you hear the voice
a beautiful sight,
an angel beckoning
go to the light…

May you rest in Peace!!

Working at a department that is so close to where the incident took place on Sept 13th 2007 made it so much more of a reality to me...that this could happen to anyone in this field no matter how small the department you work at is. Ofc. Somohano, while I did not personally know you I am ever so thankful to you for taking care of our streets. I am so sorry that this had to happen. My prayers are with you. You are a true hero.

To all the officers out there thank you and please take care as you patrol our streets.

God Speed!

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Sir,
Your work here on earth is done! Without people like you this world would be a very chaotic place and there wouldnt be anyone to stand up for the weak. Thank you Sir! We now have the watch! God Bless Miami-Dade Police Dept.

I think about your senseless death and anger flares my soul
I think about the family you left, the tears in your children’s eyes
I can still feel the loss emanating from the Officer’s standing side by side
Tears streaming down their cheeks, for once not held back
A senseless death, so much pain.
I watch as they carry your flag draped coffin
Honor Guards lining the way
Standing in rows, beside and behind were men and women with badges and stars upon their chests
We all came to say goodbye and mourn the loss of our Brother
Does God need Police Officer’s in Heaven?

Some day, your family and friends will look upon your memory and smile
Though at first they could only cry
They will remember that wry sense of humor and your easy smile
You had such a great sense of pride in what you did
You wore your badge and uniform with honor and integrity,
Which still shows through those you have trained and your family and friends

Standing in rows beside and behind
Hands saluting your passing
Badges and Stars shining brightly on their chests
They stood proud and tall for you
Yet for once, their tears fell with the rest
Some were there to say goodbye to a Father, a Husband, a Brother and Friend

The bag pipes played "Amazing Grace"
The Thin Blue Line closed it’s ranks with one Officer less
All this happened as we escorted you to your final rest
