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!

Time has come dear brother,
Your tour of duty is through.
You've given as much as anyone
Could ever be expected to do.
Just a few steps further,
The smoke will start to clear.
And others here will guide you
You have no more need of fear.
You have not failed your brothers,
You clearly have it your all.
And through your selfless actions,
Others will heed the call.
So take your place of honour,
Among those who have gone before.
And know you will be remembered.
Now, and forever more.

Today a Hero was laid to rest.
Ribbons and badge upon the chest, uniform perfectly pressed.
Brothers and sisters gathered there to pay respects and share a prayer.
The Thin Blue Line as it's commonly known, but the uniforms are all colors...grey, blue, black, green and brown.
All at attention as the Hero travels past. Saluting the latest but seemingly never the last.
In support of each other and the Hero's loved ones left to grieve.
Trying to make sense of what they don't want to believe.
The Hero's family is left now to wonder how to move on.
The Hero would tell them that although I am gone rest assured I will be with you and tomorrow there will still be a dawn.
But know that the Hero was answering a calling. As they say "doing the job" for
blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Rest well Hero...those loved ones, family and friends you left behind will carry on for you and never forget.
Signed,
An Anonymous Fellow Brother.
