Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Darren H. Goforth
My heart is heavy with emotion not only for my fellow LE brothers and sisters of the Harris County Sheriffs office but for his wife, two children and members of his family. It has been rough for members of LE family but this sinks to the lowest level. God speed

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called
children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of
righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Deputy Goforth, First of all may you rest in peace. My thoughts are with your family and your department. This murder makes me so angry because it was nothing more than a 'Hate Crime' just because you wore a uniform!
