On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Nathan died so tragically young in the line of duty.

To the Desjardins family, fellow officers, and all who call Nathan 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 Officer Desjardins gave to his community and the citizens of Maine and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on June 6th, 2017.

I pray that everyone will find comfort in Revelation 21:4, where it says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Until we can see all of our loved ones again in Paradise, please accept my condolences.

I just want to say how sorry I am for the loss of Officer Desjardins. At this upcoming week, I have the honor to represent my agency at the Law Enforcement Memorial Service as a name reader for those lost their lives on duty this past year. In preparation of this I wanted to know more information on each of the names I am reading. Again - I am very sorry for your loss, to the family, to the community and to the department.

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.
