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,
Abraham Lincoln

A police officer should be remembered not by how she died, but hows he lived! A great woman has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Madison County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Sister!
