Reflections for Patrolman Justin Scott Martin
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

My condolences to the family of Police Officer Justin Scott Martin. May all who are touched by the lost of Officer Martin take comfort in Jesus words found at John 5:28,29 where he said that there would be a resurrection. Just think of the time when you will see your loved ones again, in paradise conditions, here on earth. I am sorry for your lost.

"Right now we need all of the love and support from everyone in our community, we lost 2 good officers". Wise words from a local police officer I hugged this past weekend and said thank you too! As your family and family in BLUE prepare to say their final goodbyes, I hope and pray you will be with them as it is never easy saying goodbye to a loved one.
May God and the angels wrap their arms around everyone and give comfort. RIP Officer Martin!
