Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To my beloved husband, parted but never forgotten, we spent the best 20 years of my life together. Law enforcement was in your heart and soul, a wonderful officer you made! You are loved and still missed by many. My thoughts are with you on today, your birthday.

Hey brother,

It's been too long. I still remember the day I was told. Too much water under the bridge. I wish I had more courage to say something, anything.

I'm proud of you.

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

To the Ballantyne family, fellow deputies, and all who call Scott, 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 Deputy Ballantyne gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 10, 2016.

My condolences to Deputy Ballantyne family and colleagues of the Tulare County SHeriff's Office.

In God's word the bible, Ecclesiastes 9:1 says that "time and unforeseen events overtake them all." Tragedies like this particular incident are never easy to deal with. Our wonderful Heavenly Father Jehovah has outlined a wonderful prospect for our loves ones who have fallen asleep in death. I the bible;Revelation 21:4 outlines God's promise: "He will wipe out every tear from there eyes, and death will be no more. Neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." I pray that this biblical verse brings comfort to Deputy Ballantyne family and friends.

"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."
