As I finally have time to review the many reflections of concerned people I will offer my own.
I have been a first hand observer of the many friends,relatives,officers,citizens who are reaching out to my daughter and her family. This outpouring of support through actions,and prayers only affirms my belief that that there are good people being served by the men and women who pledged to protect us. We underestimate how much they do for us until a tragedy like this gives us a "wake up call."
Thankyou to all of you who serve us seems inadequate.May God always look after you and your families and keep you safe.

To the family Of Deputy Coleman: I knew Bill 20 years ago and lost touch right after he joined the Sheriffs Dept. He was always funny, good hearted, and a natural protector. I'm sad I lost touch with him, but so proud I knew him at all. It was also so wonderful to see he never changed and found such happiness and love from his family friends. God Bless You All and Keep you. Bill will be watching over you all.
