To the family and friends of Patrolman Jerry McCarthy and his fellow officers:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Jerry died.

To Jerry's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Patrolman McCarthy gave to his community and the citizens of Pennsylvania, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on May 2, 2013.

Pursuits are scary things and it seems that when they end tragically, many want to blame the police for it happening. Those with common sense know it's the person(s) who runs that causes a pursuit. Knowing that the irresponsible lout who ran was caught is of no real consolation for your sacrifice. Had she pulled over when instructed to, you would probably be alive and well today. She was caught, now she should pay the maximum price under law.

Your family and those you worked with, all who know and love you most can never fill the physical void that has been created, but so long as you are alive and well in their hearts and minds, you will never be truly gone. My prayers are with them all.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

TO: Officer McCarthy's Family and the men and women of the Shenango Twp Police Dept. Lawrence Co. PA. Being that this happen in my former home town, and especially in the township I had grown up in, a former law enforcement officer of 17 years myself, has deeply struck home with me. Although, I did know "Jerry" personally, despite that fact he is a brother LEO and that "Thin Blue Line" that binds us all, let us pray for Jerry's family and the men and women to who he served with. My God wrap his ever loving arms around all of you to relieve you sorry of his loss. Memorialize Jerry, by keeping him in your memories each day you arise, and every time you put that unifrom on, although his death was untimely a tradey, he gave the ultimate for the protect of the members of the community and his fellow man. Rest in peace my brother officer, go and patrol God's Heavenly Kingdom.....until we all meet again in his kingdom..."GOD BLESS YOU JERRY" ...Thank You for your service and dedication !
