Reflections for Patrolman William Jerome "Jerry" McCarthy, IV

My heart goes out to the families of this brave man. He like our armed foreces had decided to put his life up between us and the darkness and gave all to help keep it at bay. Not only his life but in some measure the lives of his family too. I pray that he and they find peace and comfort from all those around him and from the Lord who is our strength in these crises. I am just a civilian, but I have worked around many Officers and know that we owe an incredible debt to all of our men and women who stand between us and the chaos that could be. Thank you Officer McCarthy for your service, dedication, and sacrifice from this humble civilian.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Shenango Township Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

Office McCarthy,

You have joined the ranks of many who are alive and well with God.

To Your Family,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over two years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.
