Officer Fontanez, I am again saddened to hear of your passing because of this horrible disease that has overcome us. You have served your state for many years and were so close to a well deserved pension and dreams of retirement, I am sure! God had another plan that is hard for us to understand right now. I do know that He has opened His Kingdom to you. You and He will watch over your family from above now. Rest in Peace, Brother.

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.
