I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Tpr Guthrie crossed my mind this morning on my way to work. Hard to believe it has been a bit more than a year since he went missing. Praying that as the month of August closes this year, his family has found peace. Continued prayers for the safety of all our MSHP officers as they serve and protect.

May you and Reed RIP Trooper Guthrie. I do hope you cross paths with Deputy William Coleman (EOW 1-8-12). He also did a few years Water Patrol and he loves dogs.

A dear friend offered this poem to me when my father died. I'm sorry for your loss and offer sincere sympathy from both myself and Reidsville Police Department, Reidsville, GA. To lose one officer is tragic, losing two is doubly so. Your family and coworkers remain on our mind and in our hearts.

Requiem

Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me;
"Here he lies where he longed to be,
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill."

God Bless Trooper Guthrie and K-9 Reed, their family, friends and coworkers. "I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom." Abraham lincoln

"IT’S HARD TO BE in a place of sadness during Advent and Christmas. The culture proclaims cheerfulness and happiness. Others expect us to participate in the joy of the season and feel uncomfortable with brokenheartedness and grieving.

But our sadness and mourning, especially in the midst of Advent and Christmas, positions us right where we are supposed to be — in the present moment, feeling whatever feelings reside in us right now. Even in the instance of long-ago loss, we naturally bring to mind the sadness of remembering, the mourning of lost loved ones, lost hopes or dreams at this time of year.

There is room for all at the manger. The good news of Christ’s birth comes to the oppressed, bent over by grief; the brokenhearted, full of tears; those imprisoned by depression and despair. Christ comes to comfort all who mourn, trusting that in God’s time joy will replace sadness.

God of the brokenhearted, it is hard to be in mourning during this joyous time of year. But I know that you come to all of us, especially those filled with tears as captives to grief. Wrap them in your comforting spirit. Amen.

Carry these words in your heart today:
God comforts all who mourn.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiance Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Trooper Guthrie. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Fred he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Fred's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Fred's life was about so much more than the way he died. Fred will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Trooper Guthrie, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiance Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight & a half years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

I was in the Marine Corps and considered the Highway Patrol after my tour. Since then, I have had many friends who are troopers and have great respect for them and what they do. To fly solo out there when your back up is miles, sometimes many miles, away is real courage in my book! I will say a special prayer for him and his dog and give special thanks for men and women like him that keep the rest of us safe.

No words I could come up with will ever ease the pain of losing such a brave man and his partner. Always remember your Husband and Daddy watches over you as your guardian angel. He and his K-9 partner are at home with God. They simply and patiently wait for the rest of us. Your Husband and Daddy are American Heroes as well as his partner. They did a thankless job that most don't want and the rest are scared to do. My respect and support always.

I am sure Teresa remembers those snicker bars she had to resist so she could fit into her bathing suit in order to pass her swimming test. Charlie
