Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

THEIR SACRIFICE IS TREMENDOUS, AND IF THEY COULD, THEY WOULD TELL US

"I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.

As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.

You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above."

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO US ALL.

Although we had never met you were my Brother, my family!!

As soon as you put on the uniform, pinned on the badge, and swore the oath you became part of the largest and most loving family in the world, the Thin Blue Line family and you will forever be remembered and loved as long as I draw breath.

You can rest peacefully my Brother as we are watching over your loved ones, your friends and co-workers, because that is what a family does, we look out for each other.

We are here to take up the fight that you so dearly loved and we shall all make you proud.

You fought the good fight with dignity, pride and honor, and that is the making of a true hero, a brother, a loved one.

I'm not ashamed to say that I will shed a tear when your name is mentioned as you are my beloved Brother and I will miss you. What gives me the courage to go on is knowing that when my time comes you will be waiting for me with open arms in the roll call room above and say, "Welcome Brother, I have saved a place at St. Michael's table for you, and now we can catch up on what I have missed"

Sleep peacefully Blue Angel as you have earned your rest and I and every LEO worldwide love you, miss you, and shall never ever forget you.

You are loved now and forever by your Thin Blue Line family.

Rest my Brother you have earned it.

Your Brother in Blue

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

I'm a normal citizen from Ontario, Canada. I just read this story on-line, today...February 24th.
My heart felt sympathies and prayers go out to the families, colleges and friends of both Officer Brian Law and Officer Juan Gonzalez.

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.

I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep, and
take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache,
that never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.
Until the joyous day arrives,
That we will meet again.

Officer Law,

A soldier in God's war against evil, rest well in His arms.

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 three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.
