Reflections for Senior Police Officer William John Jeffrey
I knew Bill, he was a friend. He was also a great cop who cared about his community, as well as a husband, father, and grandfather. I’m going to miss our infrequent phone calls and frequent texts just to see how we were fairing. Godspeed, Brother. I’ll see you someday.

Heavenly Father, the death of Senior Police Officer William Jeffrey, of the Houston TX Police Department, has filled his family’s eyes with tears and their hearts with sorrow. We are distressed by the mysteries of Your providence. As Your child we want so much to say, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” but at times we find it difficult to do. Forgive us and help us. We pray by Your Holy Spirit, to accept Your ways as always best. Apply to these wounded hearts the healing touch of Your precious promises, and let them soon experience its power. Teach us not to mourn as those who have no hope. Wipe away the tears from our eyes that we may be able to see through the mist, beyond death and grave, to the Resurrection and Life assured by the glorious victory of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, over death and the grave. May the passing of Senior Police Officer William Jeffrey remind us that we, too, are but pilgrims and strangers on earth. Grant us the grace to love less and less the things that are material and temporal, and to love more and more the things that are spiritual and eternal. Teach us to number our days and to apply our heart to the wisdom taught by Jesus Christ, that He is the Way and the Truth and the Life, and that no one comes to You but by Him. In Your Mighty and Holy Name, I pray. Amen.

Bill Jeffrey was my neighbor who became a dear friend. I remember our talks about law enforcement issues. I loved the way he cared for his two giant dogs and it was obvious that they loved him. Once when my home was vandalized, Bill was so supportive and understood the pain I felt over the intrusion. He waited with me until the local police arrived to take my statement and also provided some information. I was and am shocked to learn of his death. I am praying for his family because I know the loss of Bill is so great. RIP dear friend.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
