On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Joseph died in the line of duty

To the Parise family, fellow correctional officers, and all who call Joseph 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. I hope that as the first anniversary of your loved one's untimely death approaches, that you continue to receive that same kind of support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Correctional Officer Parise gave to his community and the citizens of Minnesota and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 24, 2018.

Joe;
Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Your corrections brothers and sisters will always hold you in highest esteem. Tomorrow I will begin my trip to the wall in Washington DC, for you and for Brother Joe Gomm. This will be the trip for the two Joes. It will be all about the two Joes and their families. You were always there for us, we will be there for you, because hero's live forever. Rest in peace brother.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I know that God sends those angels to watch over our officers, sometimes to protect them and sometimes to whisk our officers into His presence.

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

I have lifted your family to God every morning for over seven years. I pray that Joseph's life and death will bring glory to God.

Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
