Officer Cotton didn't die in vain. She will never be forgotten. We at St.John lost one of our own 2 years ago. There are no words that will sufficiently express the pain and anger.She was a fearless soldier.

Each time a peace officer is killed in the line of duty we must remember that it is another assault on the thin line that separates civilization from anarchy.

Dear Sister:
My deepest condolences to your family, your brothers and sisters at NOPD, your friends and colleagues in law enforcement. All of us who chose to serve, no matter what agency or what country, collectively grieve over each and every officer/deputy/agent's death through the simple performance of duty. May we all be resolved to not let your death be in vain - let us all work toward making officer safety as important as the safety of those for whom we serve and protect. God bless you and your baby for the ultimate sacrifice you made.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I heard of this tragedy through an email newsletter from England. The fact that this senseless tragedy has made news around the world shows something very special: your selfless work and sacrifice matters. It matters to people around the globe who have never had the pleasure of meeting you. Thank you for your sacrifce and rest in peace.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I"m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me to;

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.

I had to much to live for, so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
