To the family of Officer Lopez. My heart and prayers go out to you. Be proud of him! He cared enough to do his best and I am so sorry that he was taken from you. May the angels hug you and God hold you close during this difficult time.

I was a friend of Arthurs when we were teenagers. He is only a year younger than I am and we grew up in the same area on the border of Long Island and Queens, New York. Even as a young man, Arthur was always sweet, helpful, caring and kind. I doubt you could find any person who could speak negatively of him.

I only hope that his family and friends will find the strength to remember Arthur as the man and Officer he was once the grief of his loss has some time to pass.

A MOMENT


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.
Now in these moments we speak names previously unknown:
With reverence, we utter their names
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.

To the family of Officer Lopez. His story has touched my soul. I don't live in New York, I live in Atllanta, GA. I want the family to know that I feel the pride they must feel in their loved one. I know time has passed, but I also know that the hurt, the pain and the anger still remain. It is now that you need our prayers the most. I am going to add you to Prayer Warrior so that these fine men and women can continually pray for your family. God bless you all.
