To the family and friends of Deputy Sheriff Donna Richardson-Below, her fellow deputies , and most especially to Donna:

We honor your service to your community as a police officer and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Donna was killed in the line of duty. It is obvious she was well-loved by many and well-respected by her peers and officers as reflected in the loving reflections left for her.

May her loved ones continued to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To Donna's family, you are in my heart's embrace today.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the years of distinguished service Donna gave to her community and the citizens of Louisiana and the supreme sacrifice she and her family made on February 12, 2020.

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.
