Mike,

I am sorry it has taken me this long to write something in remembrance of you. I just didn't know how to put all of my thoughts and feelings into words small enough to fit in this box. I wanted to take a few minutes before I suit up for my shift, to let you know that I think of you & your family daily. You touched so many peoples lives in ways that you will never know. I am grateful to have met you and honored to have called you my friend. I know we would have had a blast being roommates. Taylor & I plan on getting together to smoke a cigar at the spot we all went. I know you'll be there.

I like to think that you're riding shotgun in my squad car or standing next to me on that traffic stop, keeping a watchful eye.

Always know that you will never be forgotten brother!

Officer Petrina

God opened the Heavenly Gates and you were greeted by family, friends, and officers who went before you.

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.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
