Once again an agent of Satan has taken a worthy and loving sister from our ranks. What that agent does not understand is you are now in Gods kingdom serving his children there with no forces of evil to contend with. Those brothers and sisters left behind will keep your honorable name alive in memory for years to come and they will tend to your family. Rest in peace sister.

There are really no words that can be spoken to lessen the pain of losing a loved one, co worker and friend. I pray for Corporal Ester's family and correctional family to find comfort during this horrible time.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
