Chief of Police Frank McClelland Thank you for your Service.
Chief McClelland Family Thank you for sharing your life and love of Chief McClelland with not only the Police force there in
Ludowici - Liberty County : Georgia.
* I know 1st hand how it feels to be a injured officer..years ago after a years on Dallas PD Dallas, Texas - While on duty in a investigation. And the young man in the investigation shot me in the shoulder. * Also, a few years later - my husband John was Chief of Police in a small town in East Texas and in prusuit of an escaping crinimal, another officer's squad car ran into my husband squad car admist the chase. My husband although did not loose his life that day, his back was broken and spent the next few years in a wheelchair until he passed away.
Your husband, father, son, brother and friend will always be thought highly of and will forever be missed as you morn his end of duty.
Prayers to you All.

The loss of an officer goes beyond the loss of a family. His death impacts the entire Community.
Frank McCelland Jr was off duty if there is such a thing in a small community Policing Unit. But
Frank was first to jump in when he heard that a person had taken chase with the officer, and was reaching dangerous speeds. The Chief thought he would go the center where the man was heading, and try to cut him off.
But Criminals are unpredictable. And the suspect vehicle car hit the sheriff and there was a very loud bang.
A bright white Light appears above his car, and he was sent to Heaven to become a star, forever shinning high in bright above New Hamshire sky. And on a Clear night, if you seek the Star EAST called Arcturus. Look closely and see his star is there waiting, watching and peace. He did the work he Loved, He Loves his family above all. And Now he has found his peace above us, in the stars. Forever remindings he never gone. He left a part of his heart and knowledge with those who were closest to him.

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!

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Ludowici Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
