My hearts aches for any loss of a Law Enforcement Officer. When our loved ones pin on that badge and go out there to "Serve and Protect" the greatest blessing is to come home safe at the end of the day. I speak from personal experence my son and son-in-law are on duty at this time. I pray God's blessings on them for a safe return to their loved ones. Our family has experienced a LOD death in the loss of my husband and father to my children. My husband was Sgt. James M. Johnson Forsyth County Sheriff Office, Winston Salem, NC. Officer Bither May God bless you and the ones you left behind to continue the work you started. Sincerely, Pearl Johnson widow of Sgt. Johnson.
