To Officer Newman's wife and child:
There are no words of comfort at this time... I am young widow myself and I can understand what you must be going thru... My heart is so incredibly saddend and his picture along with reading some of these reflections have moved me to tears, esp. the Walmart story with his child. Please stay strong, lean on your family as much as you can, and leave out some complete alone time, just for you.

To Officer Newman:
Thank you for protecting us, sir. You will now be keeping a watch on your family.. You were so young and filled your short time on this earth helping others. I am so very sorry. I salute you, Sir. GodSpeed..............

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"
