Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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 Terrence's life and death will bring glory to God.

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

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

My heart is heavy. Not knowing why someone could be this evil. Sgt Carraway was happy go lucky, and would give his last so that someone less fortunate could have. I lost a friend. A friend of 30 years. His wife loss her husband, her companion, her sooolele mate, forver. His son is now fatherless. But as his ftiend, I am his son's godfather and I vow to fulfill what is promsed. As a former Lt , Sgt, and Field Training Officer, I new Sgt Carta from hie first day oof duty. He will be greatly missed.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Officer Caraway, you served for thirty years, unselfishly putting your life in danger each and every day. Our good Lord will reward you abundantly. May He grant you His peace and immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

To the Family of Terrence Carraway I wish to extend my sincere condolences for your loss. Death is truly an enemy especially when one has not lived out their days. I have found comfort in Jesus Christ promise at John 5:28, 29 “Do not marvel at this, the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. Those who did good things to a resurrection of life..” Thus we have the sure hope of being reunited with those we love who have fallen asleep in death.

Brother,

Even though I never met you in this life, I served as an MP in the US Army so have been in your shoes before. I salute your service, courage and bravery. I pray for your family in my heart. I also pray that your murderer, or what ever it is that you prefer I call them, is punished to the max. Thank you

Officer Carraway, you were gunned down by a coward and you died a hero. How tragic that you had to die, when you didn't. This individual could have given up, but instead decided to take your life and the lives of other Law Enforcement Officers. So far, thank God, the others survive.

You have earned a special place in Heaven and yet, I know in my heart you will be right here, watching over all, both family and colleagues alike and so long as those who know and love you best keep you in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be far from them.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.

May God watch over the family and fellow officers these heroes worked with. We can only imagine their pain. But we can sympathize with them and we must support them. This is what the Patriots and Heroes looks like folks. Running to the danger when all others run away from it. Selfless and fearless to the end. They now work heavens Beat. And are in God's hands forever. Ever watching down on us all.
