God has received another honorable, loving and dedicated brother into His law enforcement mansion in heaven with your arrival. All of your brothers and sisters left behind will keep your name and your professionalism alive for years to come in the memory of those you served so faithfully and they will care for your family. All of your new partners in the badge have also paid the ultimate in protecting and serving His children in their communities. Be at rest in Gods peace brother. In Christ

A PART OF AMERICA DIED.... Somebody killed a policeman today .... And a part of America died…. A piece of our country he swore to protect .... Will be buried with him at his side.... The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,.... Just as if he had gone off to war, .... Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast .... To his name they will add a gold star.... The suspect that shot him will stand up in court .... With counsel demanding his rights,.... While a young widowed mother must work for her kids .... And spend many long, lonely nights... .. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today…. Maybe in your town or mine,.... While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors.... A cop put his life on the line.... Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street, .... And he stands at each new rookie's side; .... He answered the call… of himself gave his all,.... And a part of America died.
Rest in Peace Investigator Lewis.

R.I.P. Investigator Lewis. Its always that unknown factor that creates danger for Law Enforcement Officer and turns the mundane duties into life threatening ones. Its something we have little control over in trying to understand human behavior.
