I Never Dreamed it Would Be Me
(By Sgt. George Hahn, LAPD, Ret., engraved on the Peace Officer Memorial in CA, across from the west steps of the Capitol Building.)
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 will 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 heavy heart and bended knee;
I ask for all here from the past,
Dear God, let my name be the last.

Bill,
Thank you for being such a good friend and co-worker. I will miss your sense of humor and your goofy laugh. You were never too busy to help no matter what the task. You can rest in piece knowing your OSP family will be there for your loved ones left behind. It was an honor to Serve with you.

Senior Trooper Hakim and family,
I was on duty when I heard the news, and my heart sank. I instantly remembered Sr. Tpr. Hakim from the classes he taught at the academy when I was a Recruit not so long ago. What a great teacher, Trooper, and person he was.
My prayers and thoughts are with you, Sr. Tpr. and your family.
I know you will be on patrol with us all, watching over us.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Our Lord has received a very special brother in His kingdom on your arrival. Your special skills, your integrity, your love for your family and your brothers & sisters in the badge are deeply felt and missed. As you now work with and mingle with your new partners in the badge know they are all heroes as you are and they too have given their all to serve Gods children here on earth. Your family will be cared for by your brothers and sisters left behind and your name and your accomplishments here will never be forgotten. May God bless your family and all your brothers and sisters in the badge. Rest in peace brother.

I know I'm far removed from Trooper Hakim but having heard about this tragedy from Jennie, I wanted to offer the family my condolences. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, and there are people as far away as Wisconsin (where I live) who are grateful that William was the kind of man willing to put his life on the line to protect others. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are sorry for your Loss. My family has also experienced the loss of a loved one in the line of Duty. This was sent to us, We found this helpful. Hope this helps your family as well.
My Dearest Family and Friends
Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.
The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.
Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.
To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.
So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.
