Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

As a Police Chaplain its difficult to find words to express what so many in police work are going through. Prayers seem at times
like this trivial, but I know very few officers without faith. We must
use that faith for support, understanding, compassion for the families who have suffered this devastating loss. We the members
of the Wentzville Police Department have those families in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless them.

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

Violence will not win. . .

In the land of life and liberty
A country's claim of brotherly love
A melting pot of diversity

Murder wreaks havoc
In the blink of an eye
An eye once looking forward
To reach the American Dream

Violence will not win
The innocent will stand strong
Let us pursue our goals

My heart bleeds tears of sorrow
As I hear the latest news
Of another slain victim
Sacrificed

None
None

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, family and loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for the past four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

Faith helps us see beyond the grave.

Officer Matthew Gerald, my heart is sadden by your death, and of the deaths of Corporal Montrell Jackson and Deputy Brad Garafola. I have said a prayer to God for Matthew Gerald this morning (I said a prayer a few minutes ago for Matthew, Montrell, Brad) asking God to comfort the families of all the officers who suffered a death as well as the families who suffered injuries as a result of the tragic incident on the morning of Sunday, July 17, 2016. My words cannot express my feelings and emotions, but my prayers to our Lord Jesus asking our Lord to take the soul of Matthew Gerald, Montrell Jackson and Brad Garafola to Heaven were their soul belongs. RIP Matthew, Montzell and Brad, each of you will never be forgotten.

The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.

Rest in Peace, My Brother. Your courage, commitment, service and sacrifice shall not be forgotten.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
