My name is Audrey Zaldana and I am currently a Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Trainee, part of class #433. I want to take this moment to offer my condolences to Officer Tinsley's family and also state my infinite appreciation for his dedication and service as a peace officer. He passed away serving and protecting his community, and he will always be an honarable example of the important role law enforcement has in all of our lives. I want to join law enforcement because of people like Officer Tinsley, who everyday commit to something larger than themselves. Maybe I will never be able to match Officer Tinsley's courage, but at the very least, I hope to one day match his devotion. Thank you for your service, Officer Tinsley. Rest in peace.

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…

This inspiring poem was written by Jim Weaver, a retired LAPD Officer and former Idaho Sheriff. It is submitted with his full support and approval. We feel ceremonies such as this actually occur in the Heavenly Realm. We can all gain a glimpse at… ImagineHeaven.net …with the faith building book by Pastor John Burke, and his NDE interviews with credible individuals granted such Near Death Experiences. Both my Pastor and Family Doctors feel many such instances are fully valid. Indeed, “Do nor fear…for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32). May the Family, Friends and Department be comforted as Magnificent Reunions truly await all Christians!
