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

Perez family and friends may God grant you all a speedy healing. Sgt.Perez words can not say enough about what kind of HERO you are. Now a days not many people even come close to having the work ethics that you showed on this tragic day. You put your life on the line trying to get to work multiple ways so you could help
others and for doing this you paid the Ultimate Sacrifice and for that we thank you. You loosing your life while attempting to go to work angers me because my state allows people to stand on corners and bag for food and money in fact we give them a license to do so. We should put these people on buses and send them your way and put them to work helping in any capacity that's needed. Then they may understand what a real problem is. I DOUBT IT but again i am so sorry that you lost your life in this tragic event. Take a seat above and watch over your family and friends. Your Brothers and Sisters in blue have the watch from here.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

This is obviously an cop who's job was more important to him than probably anything else, other than his family. He could have retired by now but must of loved his job so much he had no desire to leave. I can relate having been a reserve copper for 30 years for no pay. Police work is something some of us are called to do and we do it proudly no matter what. I'm sure that Sergeant Steve Perez was one of the best "helpers" the people of Houston could have ever had. RIP Sarge. Unfortunately for this current world, there must have been a higher calling for someone as great as you. May your family have some relief from their grief knowing that if what I write is true, you will always be a hero in blue.
