Heavenly Father, we need to come and comfort this wife and her childern. She lost her huband and the children lost their father in such a heart breaking manner. Please give them strenght to accept what has happen and to be able to go from here. Only you Dear Lord will be one they will have to look to for all things and answers. God bless them.
Father bless his fellow officers whom he worked with and his many friends. Help give them peace and answers also. In all things we ask, we do so in Jesus name, Amen.
He was a hero and someone to be proud of. A COWARD had no right to do what he did. Rest in Peace brother God is with you.
