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"

I attended the WV State Police Academy 113th Basic Class with Mike and roomed with him the last several weeks of training. Mike was a great person and law enforcement officer. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and co-workers. I will miss you brother. REST IN PEACE.

Thank you all for the emotional support and condolences. We all are a very close family in Mon. County. Last night we had a huge part of our family taken from us. Todd was more than just an outstanding Deputy, he was a brother, son, and loving Uncle. My heart is broke, as is everyones. There is no greater honor, than that of one man giving his life for another. I will miss our times together Todd, both as a fellow LEO, and as your close friend. I will be there for your family, as you were always there for me. I weep for the loss of my friend, but find comfort that you now walk the streets of gold. I love you, and will cherish all the times, both good and bad we shared. RIP
