To the family and friends of Trooper David Lane and his fellow officers:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when David was tragically killed.

To Trooper Lane's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service David gave to his community and the citizens of New York, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on November 4, 2009. I also honor his military service to our country.

For Trooper David Lane:

Our duty as soldiers-of-the-law take us onto one of the most dangerous of battlefields - a United States highway. Each of us that performs patrol is at risk constantly and our only protection is practicing safe tactics and manuevers. None-the-less, even the safest among us is subject to the unexpected. Such is our lot.

We pray for Dave's family, friends, co-workers and all who care about him. We regret that he had to be counted among the numbers who are casualties of the cavalcade of carnage on the streets and roads of our nation.

As a fellow trooper who is present today only through good fortune and the grace of God, I am proud to render Trooper David Lane a final salute.

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"
