To All Who Knew This Dedicated Officer-"A Fallen Limb"-
A limb has fallen from the family tree.I keep hearing a voice that says "Grieve not for me.Remember the best times, the laughter, the songs-the good life I lived while I was strong.Continue my heritage,I'm counting on you.Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.My mind is at ease,my soul is at rest,remembering all, how I truly was blessed.Continue traditions no matter how small.Go on with your life,don't woory about falls.I miss you all dearly so keep up your chin.Until the day comes we're together again.--Author Unknown

My deepest prayers are with your family may they find the light they need to help them move forward and may his children always remember the good times with their dad.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
