Performing the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do.....serving your community making a better and safer place for us all. Thank You for the years of service. God Bless Your Family and know that their heartache is shared by others. Rest in Peace Officer Hornsby.

May you rest in peace Bobby. Although you died young; It was your time because God needed you as his own. May God give your friends and family strength through this difficult time. You died serving your people; it wasn't for nothing.

"When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."

You are home now.

I spoke with Chief Baldwin today at a community forum, I expressed my condolences and also commented on how he must feel overwhelming pride and honor that his officers saved many lives by their sacrifice and heroic actions. Officer Hornsby is a great loss to the State Of Texas.

Your work is done here on Earth - Heaven has called upon you today, leaving so many words left to say. But now it's too late, for your time has come, words unspoken; I am sure everybody has some. Regrets and wishes are probably there too, but lasting forever are memories of you.
There have been many times that we waved to each other, but we were there for each other in time of need. Now it's time for us to say Good-Bye, until we meet again in heaven to fly. Now go and Patrol the Heavens Above and Watch Below those you Love. Thank you for your service.

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.
