On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when David was killed.
To the Elahi family, fellow officers, and all who call David beloved, 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 Sgt. Elahi gave to his community and the citizens of Louisiana on July 3, 2016.

Rest in Peace Sergeant David Elahi. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Sterlington, Louisiana.
I Pray for a speedy recovery of your comrades and for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers.
I also Pray that the hounds of hell forever pursue the drunkard that killed you and that they gnaw at his soul for eternity. Forever as long as he takes a breath on this earth may he be plagued with horrible nightmares of his flesh burning off in the lake of fire.
Amen.
