Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"Somebody killed a policeman today,
And a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now, his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all,
And a part of America died."

Rest in Peace Ashley, we have your watch.

Officer Ashley Guindon you have left us too soon for our hearts. Surely God has a purpose for you in Heaven. Maybe the Arch Angels needed your backup. May God Bless your Soul, Your Family, Friends and Co-Workers.

Now my angst for your murderer! I Pray with all my soul that the hounds of hell forever gnaw at the flesh of the worthless carcass of your murderer. May every day of his life be filled with pain and strife.

Amen

I wish to offer my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Officer Guilden. My thoughts are with you at this difficult and sad time.


In New Zealand there is a well known Maori phrase - " Kia kaha" used by the people of New Zealand and meaning " stay strong". The phrase has significant meaning.


So to the family and work colleagues of this very brave Officer, and from 8000 miles away I say to you " Kia kaha" from the bottom of my heart.
