Reflections for Corrections Officer V Jerry Esparza
I am sad to learn of the passing of a brother and hero in Corrections Officer V. Jerry Esparza. I know our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven. May the Lord deliver blessings, comfort and peace to his family, friends and all members of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas.
