Reflections for Police Officer Aldo A. Rossi, Jr.
They say it takes someone special to be a cop. But how special do you have to be to do it on top of another job. This officer spent his spare time protecting the citizens of his community. The cost of freedom is best known to those who protect it. It is best remembered by those who have lost a loved one while they protected it. And for those who enjoy it daily... They will never know why. God bless Officer Rossi and all that have given the ultimate gift.

Brother Aldo you have transferred to Gods Police Department in heaven and now have nothing but heroic partners who have gone before you. As you go about your new assignment know your family will be cared for by the brothers and sisters you have left behind and your name will be forever enscrolled in gold in the hearts of all our law enforcement brothers and sisters. There will be no more forces of evil to contend with, only the righteous who have also passed through Gods pearly gates. Rest in peace brother, have joy in working for and with our savior Jesus.

I offer my heartfelt condolences...to the entire Rossi Family...and to all those...who knew and loved him.
Know that life is changed...not ended. Love lives in the soul...and the soul never dies.
May his wife...father...brothers...and sister...never lose sight of the fact...that someday...we all will be reunited...with our loved ones...for eternity.
Until that time...keep your memories of him alive...and share them...with one another.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, may the perpetual light shine upon him, may his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
God bless...and reward you...Officer Aldo Rossi...for making the ultimate sacrifice...while serving and protecting...your community. You will not be forgotten.
