Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Elgin,

Tomorrow will be 10 years since you were taken from us. Valentine and I were talking about to at lunch today.

I will always remember your smile and helpful quiet nature. You were a true police officer and a good man.

To this day, you still hold the place of having told me the funniest Police story I ever heard. I laugh like a hyena ever time I think of it. Thank you for that.

I miss you. Rest easy.

You are remembered buddy. I still tell your DKPD First day story. Still the funniest Police story I ever heard.

Thanks for everything man.

Elgin,

I told the story you told me about your first day as a cop to some rookie the other day. It is still the single funniest cop story I have heard, ever.

Thanks for sharing it, and the little time we had together with me.

Sitting here thinking about how much I miss my friend. My heart was broken when you left us and my heart is still broken now after nearly three years. My heart will remain broken until we meet again.

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

by Unknown.....


Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Police Officer Elgin L. Daniel ....God Bless you all.....

Here is a man of whom it may be truly declared, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." IITim.4:7-8
He was not just a good officer, he was a good man, husband and father; a man of wisdom and a host of knowledge and most importantly a man of God.
