Sir,

You did your duty to the end, protecting others before yourself. Your actions are an example for others to follow. Your value to the prison and prisoners is reflected in the effort they made to save you after the accident.

Rest easy, others will take it from here.

God Bless you, your family and your agency in this difficult time.
