Thanks for the talks of motivation when I was feeling down Greg. Your sense of humor and desire to get drugs off of the street kept me and others going. You will always be with us.

P.S.- Speaking of your sense of humor---I think Wayne Walton knows who threw the wild cat in his patrol car.

What a tragedy to lose another officer. A future ended before it ever hardly began.
The following is a Fallen Officer's Prayer that was found while a Pueblo Police Officer visited the N.Y.P.D. Museum & Ground Zero in 2005 Officer's Prayer

Fallen Officer’s Prayer

I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
My Name For All Eternity.
Recorded Here At This Hallowed Place.
Alas, My Name, No More My Face.
'In The Line of Duty' I Hear Them Say.
My Family Now The Price To Pay.
My Folded Flag Stained With Their
Tears.
We Only Had Those Few Short Years.
The Badge No Longer On My Chest.
I Sleep Now In Eternal Rest.
My Sword I Pass To Those Behind And
Pray They Keep This Thought In Mind.
I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
And With A Heavy Heart And Bended
Knee, I Ask For All Here From The
Past...
Dear God, Let My Name Be The Last.
We hope that the family, friends and all who knew PO Surles will in some small way be comforted by the words and thoughts of all who left their reflections here to honor him.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
