Reflections for Patrolman John Manuel Borges

John, your general decency, your terrific sense of humor and your wonderful knowledge of the hobby will cause you to live forever in our hearts. You left us far too soon.

God Bless you, Brother, and I'm sure you've had him laughing since you got to Heaven. Rest in Peace, John, you'll never be forgotten.

Patrolman Borges, it has been 3 years since you were taken from us. New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your 20 years of law enforcement service.

Heavenly Father, You commit to us the swift and solemn trust of life: since we know not what a day may bring forth, but only that the hour for serving You is always present, may we wake to the instant claims of Your will upon our lives. In the face of questions without answers, of dreams unfulfilled, of the emptiness that will not go away, we are only compelled to thank You always for lives faithfully lived, for good memories and living hopes. We are reminded as we pray for family and friends who are touched with the feeling of sorrow, that we pray to one who does not let go unnoticed even the falling of a sparrow to earth. We pray to one who weeps for his world, and therefore we come trusting that in life or death, we may find rest and comfort in Him. In Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen
