Reflections for Correctional Officer Justin James Smith
Thank you for your service and please know that your sacrifice will always be remembered by your law enforcement brethren.

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.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Justin was killed.
To the Smith family, fellow officers, and all who call Justin 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 Correctional Officer Smith gave to his community and the citizens of North Carolina and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on October 12, 2017.

Officer Smith, you knew the day-to-day danger that you are exposing yourself in such a dangerous setting, and you did your duty as required by your job. You have lost your life as a result, much as our Lord Jesus did when He died on the cross. He will not leave you alone, and He will immerse you and the ones you've left behind in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.
