Reflections for Major Gregory Eugene Barney
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 four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Riverdale Police Department. Rest in Peace Brother.

To the family of Officer Major Greg Barney,
I am sorry for your loss. Greg was an outstanding example of how a Police Officer should be. I have had the pleasure to know Officer Barney and to watch his career in Riverdale area. He was a True Asset to the Clayton County Community. He was assigned to the Riverdale High School where he became a mentor to many of the young minority men who are now young men with families of their own. Thank You Barney for all that you have done for our children. You were a Positive Role Model and Mentor. May the Lord comfort you at this time and May He cary you in the palm of his hand.
