On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Michael was killed in this tragic accident.

To the Foley family, fellow officers, and all who call Michael 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. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Deputy Foley gave to his community and the citizens of California , and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 23, 2017.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I was honored to represent Sheriff Foley on the Texas Wheels of Justice Bicycle ride on Oct 14, 2017. We lose too many of these heroes every year. I can only hope his family knows how much his service and those like him is appreciated.

Deputy Foley, I had the honor of meeting your son and speaking with your wife today. We happened to cross paths because he had lost his wallet nearby his university and it was turned in by a pair of EMT's to our department. I am touched that your son has chosen to pursue a career in law enforcement as well. I gave him information on how he can participate locally while he is going to school down here. Thank you sir for your many years of service to the public. Rest in peace.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:

“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.”

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.

I have lifted your family to God every morning for over six years. I pray that Michael's life and death will bring glory to His name.

Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
