I was ten years old when my nephew was born. It was during the war years and he lived with us until he was six years old. I am so proud of his service to our country and he did die doing what he loved.
I feel great sorrow for the bet playmate I ever had and yet a sense of great honor to be connected with him and reading the tributes brings me peace and I know he is now Resting in Peace. Darrell, you are my hero.

Officer Windhaus,

You have entered into the presence of the Lord with many who have served and went before you. Rest well.

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, family and loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”

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

Officer Windhaus, one can only assume, that at 71 years old, you were out there because you loved your job. You died doing what you loved to do, which is the way all heros should go. Wow, what a long career in service to your country. Thank you sir. My prayers are with your family and co-workers as they ponder life with one less hero in it. RIP.
