To the Gryder Family,
My heart really goes out to you because your beloved officer, husband, dad, son died almost in the same manner as my husband and on the same freeway. We got that awful knock at the door and things have never been the same since. You will survive it, but I'm not going to lie to you and say it won't be hard. But you have to do it for him. He's expecting nothing less from you.

Words cannot truly express the heartache and pain that I feel for you, your family, friends, and your department. It sickens me to my stomache when we lose another officer in the thin blue line. Rest easy now Sir, your brother's and sister's have the watch from here. You have served long and hard on Earth and now you join the ranks of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and now walk the beat in HEAVEN. You are not forgotten nor your mark on society. I pray for you today and that your family and friends may be comforted as another HERO goes home. Hold your head held high at the pearly gates when St. Peter asks of what you did to earn your keep - you were a Police Officer who defended God's children here on Earth from injustice and those who wished harm to them
; and that Sir is honorable!
