On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Edwin was killed.

To the Roman-Acevedo family, fellow officers, and all who call Edwin beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Agent Roman-Acevedo gave to his community and the citizens of Puerto Rico, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on November 26, 2014.

IN MEMORY OF AGENT EDWIN O. ROMAN-ACEVEDO

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Agent Edwin O. Roman-Acevedo:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some eight law enforcement agents have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Agent Edwin O. Roman-Acevedo, of the San Juan, Puerto Rico, Municipal Police Department; who was shot and killed in the line-of-duty on Wednesday, November 26, 2014, while off duty when he intervened in an armed robbery at a pharmacy located at the intersection of PR-850 and PR-846 in Trujillo Alto.

“Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Agent Edwin O. Roman-Acevedo. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Agent Edwin O. Roman-Acevedo and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of San Juan, Puerto Rico, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement agents with the best tools to protect their territory. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of San Juan, Puerto Rico, to remember to pay their law enforcement agents fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of San Juan, Puerto Rico, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their territory.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Agent Edwin O. Roman-Acevedo go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Now, Agent Edwin O. Roman-Acevedo, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
