Sheriff Welford was obviously a "hands-on" sheriff. I respect and admire that, & I wish that I could have known him.

I'm sure he'll be missed greatly.

To the family and friends of Sheriff Garry Welford and his fellow officers:

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

To Sheriff Welford'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 dedicated service Garry gave to his community and the citizens of Mississippi, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on July 21, 2010.

Another senseless death of a hero doing his job. God bless the family and department. Life is so precious and so many good men and women are lost to cowards who aren't worth of these men and women's efforts. Bless all in blue who uphold our laws!
