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.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

To the family, colleagues and friends of ROBERT MCFARLAND

Correctional Officer Robert McFarland and Nurse Lorena Schulte were senselessly and brutally attacked and murdered while working on the job. Their deaths were brutal and cold blooded. I pray that their murderers get the appropriate punishment. Of course this is little consolation to Robert and Lorena and their loved ones.

I pray that they find peace in heaven and know that they are heroes to all of us. They will never be forgotten. I offer their families, colleagues and friends our deepest sympathies during this horrific time.

God bless these two wonderful people and welcome them into heaven where their souls will forever Rest In Peace.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy.
