Reflections for Police Officer Ella Grace French

I’m not an officer, both my kids are FBI Agents Phila Field Ofc & we all suffer the loss of our fellow officers in any branch of policing. She died with honor & serving the way she was trained. I’m saddened for her family for her brothers in blue & the continued violence which besets our Country.

My Heart goes out to the Family of Officer Ella French. She was so young. I live in New Haven and we have had many shootings. Not far from my home, the police found 100 guns in an area called Westville on Valley Street.
No matter where you live even in the wealthyest area in New Haven, their are problems.

Their is a lot of hate in our world, and as far as racial hate that runs supreme. I lived in a project growing up and my Mom and Dad told me to love and respect people, and I did.

Rest in Peace Officer French and my prayers are with you.

A police officer should be remembered not by how she died, but how she lived! A great woman has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Chicago Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Sister!

Ella, as you enter thru the gates of Valhalla you will be greeted by Valkyrie she will give you a warm embrace and then lead you to the Great Hall were a feast as been prepared in your honor. Once inside the Hall you will be greeted and welcomed by all of the other heroes that have gone before you. As this is going on a hush will fall over the Hall, the crowd around you will part and Odin himself will walk up to you. He will give a warm and gentle embrace and whisper in your ear "Welcome home my Daughter". Rest well Ella.

Officer French, I am heartbroken to hear of your murder at the hands of these cowards. I worked that beat for many years so I could visualize the scene. I am praying for your partner today as he fights for his life.
You are a brave, good Officer! I Thank you for your service to all of us and I am so deeply sorry that your life was stolen at such a young age and the beginning of your career. You still had much to do, I am sure.
May God Bless you and your family as He helps them through their grief. God Bless the Chicago Police Department.
Rest in Peace, Sister.
