Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Drove by the bridge and highway dedicated to you. I always see the flag and read your name. I wonder about you and what happened to you. I've read your story. To often no matter the reason, good people are taken from us. Pray your family is safe and know that you are always on people's minds. Never forgotten, a spirit that keeps a safe watch over his family.

Tanya, My heart goes out to you and the family. Mark was always a nice guy in high school who liked to make people smile. He will never be forgotten. I wish there was a better way to express the sorrow that we all feel as words can never truly show the emotions. May he rest in peace.

Thank you, Officer Barret, for your time and dedication, and for the ultimate sacrifice you made to keep our world as safe as possible. Thank you is such an inadequate way to tell you and your loved ones how much I appreciated all that you did for your fellow man, yet, it is all I have to offer. Your place in Heaven must be a glorious one! My heart breaks for those who are mourning your passing right now. May God be with Officer Barret's family, friends and fellow officers as they go through such a difficult time in their lives. RIP
