May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
When the shadows fall-
You do not walk alone.
Godspeed Officer Collier.

"Remember that I am a Man of sorrows, fully acquainted with grief. Because of all I suffered, I can empathize with you and share your pain. As you pour out your emotions in My Presence, your heavy burden grows lighter. You no longer carry your sorrows alone. You release them to Me, and I then relieve and refresh your soul." -Jesus Lives by Sarah Young

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Collier and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever.
To the family of Officer Collier, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Collier is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family, and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Officer Collier,
When you look the word HERO up in the dictionary, your picture is beside it. You confronted evil in it's purest form and stood up to it. You are what a police officer should be. Thank you for your service and know that your sacrifice is not in vain. To the Collier family, may the love of God wrap your family in His comforting arms. Rest in peace Officer Collier, the rest of your brothers and sisters in blue have the watch from here.
