My deepest thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Shareef's family, friends and co-workers. I was married to Alabama State Trooper Brian Nichols EOW 2/17/2002 and I am now married to Washington County Deputy Sheriff Aaron Carpenter. All of your C.O.P.S. family is here for you and hurting for you. We all became a family when our loved ones became police officers and now we have even a stronger bond when one of our family members goes down. We are here for you to help you along this journey you now have joined with us. God bless you all.

Deputy Sheriff Martha Woods Shareef,

The circumstances of your death are horrific. The perils of our job in law enforcement are many. None of us can ever really prepare ourselves for what waits for us on the next assignment. All we can do is accept our lot as soldiers of the law and utilize every possible advantage we can take in any situation. We rely upon our knowlege and our training, but most importantly we rely on each other. Nothing, or no one, can guarantee we will see tomorrow. Courage, Dedication and Valor speak for you now
and they say you are a hero. A legion of law officers await you at the gates of eternity. As they embrace you, I render you a final salute. Well done, deputy...well done.

Martha and her family has always been dear friends who always had something kind and positive to say. She will be truly missed. It is a shame that someone as kind and friendly as she was had to come to such a tragic end. Andrew, my condolences go out to you, your brothers, and the city of Thibodaux. St Martha, pray for us.

I can not count the number of times that I have seen Police officers condemmed by the press for shooting at a vehicle that was driving towards them. We see the tragic results of a vehicular assault. Please accept my condolences.
