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,
Abraham Lincoln

My deepest condolences to the Alvarado family, friend's and colleagues.
Sad to see a loved one go. Many will cherish his memories and moments. But for our Creator, Jorge is now in his perfect memory (Malachi 3:16). Why is it important to know this? The Bible reminds us that soon this world and all it's wickedness will soon pass. Millions of Christians asks for this in our Lord's Prayer. Let your Kingdom come... and your will done on earth (Mathew 6:9,10).
This is good news for our loved ones who has passed. Please read John 5:25-29; Isaiah 26:19; 25:8, Apocalypse 21:3,4. In that good book of remembrance and through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we all have an opportunity to see our loved ones again. To be part of that new Kingdom (Government) we should do what the King himself said in John 17:3. Learning each day about God and his son Jesus Christ will result in living forever.
Again our sincerest condolences. (visit us at: JW.org)

I have never forgotten a poem that I heard years ago at the funeral of another young officer.
He had been killed while driving his radio car to assist another officer in following a stolen car. I am unsure what the title is or who the author is and so I am unable to give credit to the author but it is still sad, important, and meaningful:
The silence, now, is deafening
where once his laughter fell.
The beat is empty of the one
who knew its streets so well.
The squad room has a vacancy
no one else can occupy.
And so we stand, salute and grieve
again we say 'good-bye'.
