On behalf of the Caruthersville Police Department, we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Officer Evans and the West Memphis Police Department. You will be in our prayers.

I have this poem displayed in my home. I hope it brings everyone who reads it comfort.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
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 awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

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 a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, frends and your law enforcement brothers and sisters. We lost our son in law just two months ago in the line of duty and I know he was waiting to greet you and help you. As we have seen in the past couple of months your family will be will taken care of but will miss you so very very much. They have all our prayers and thoughts. Thank you so much for the job you did while you were here.

Officer Evans - It is difficult to fathom the loss of two police officers, it is even more difficult to envision those officers being the son and nephew of the police chief. My condolences to your family, friends and co-workers.

Thank you for your service to the people of West Memphis and the state of Arkansas. May God grant you and your partner/cousin, Sergeant Paudert, eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

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?"

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.

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

Rest in peace.
