Rest in Peace sister and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

God bless you North Carolina Correctional Officers, Veronica Darden and Justin Smith and your families, blue and red. And God bless all those who bravely serve and protect us, past, present and future.
Salve Regina, Hail to you, O Holy Queen, Mother of loving kindness, our life, our happiness, our hope. Hear as we sigh, with groaning and weeping in this life, in this valley of tears. Turn towards us, our most gracious Advocate, the gaze of your kind and loving eyes, and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. He who willingly suffered and died on the Cross for the sake of all our sins, rose from the dead three days later, and ascended into Heaven to be with His Father, until He comes again to judge us justly, the living and the dead...
O gentle, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary. Pray for us ....

Animals will do things that normal decent human being won't. It's especially disturbing when those actions bring about the death of good people.
Manager Darden, thank you for your service and God Bless you for that service and your sacrifice on behalf of all the good people in this world who need protection from the not so good.
Rest in Peace, Sister.
