Officer Anderson,

You and your family are in my prayers. Loosing a sister or brother in law enforcement is one of the hardest things we deal with in this line of work. Words can't express the loss we all feel.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

You truly showed your courage and strength.

May God's blessing go to Ranger Anderson, a truly brave and dedicated officer. She is an honor to the parks service and all of law enforcement. I pray for her family and all who loved her and that they will find peace in having known and loved her. Thank You very much, Ranger Margaret Anderson for your bravery and what you have given for your job and your country.

to the Family of Margaret Anderson

Dear Father,
It was only a moment, but
In that moment a madman walked in
In that moment the world was changed.
In that moment countless lives, were utterly altered.
In that moment our hearts began breaking.
In these moments we speak names previously unknown:
With reverence, we speak his name, Chief Painter
In a moment our line of BLUE stretched out across the nation.
That hard, fast and steady line of BLUE has been breached.
In these moments help us as we have all become a part of the
line of BLUE.
Dry our tears, comfort our broken hearts, strengthen our weaken knees, cure our confusion.
May the line of BLUE draw a circle around us pulling back our hope.
May the line of BLUE be a shield before us.
May the line of BLUE carry us into the moments of our future.
A future made sure by their sacrifice in a moment.
It was only a moment and they were gone but
we and the line of BLUE go on…

In honor of the fallen.
