You were an amazing police officer that loved his job. I was always so proud to be by your side and I will always be proud of you. You were my hero here on earth and you continue to be my hero in heaven. Thank you for making my dreams come true and for loving me like no other. You are forever in my heart and always in my thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again, big daddy. I love you with all of my heart.

Most merciful God, You hold each of us dear to Your heart. Hold all our nation’s law enforcement officers and their families, who are afflicted or affected by the COVID-19 Virus, in Your loving arms and tenderly draw them into Your life, together with all others who are living with the COVID-19 Virus. Assure them that they are not alone, and give them courage and faith for all that is to come. Strengthen those who care for them and treat them, and guide those who do research. Forgive those who have judged harshly, and enlighten those who live in prejudice or fear. Nourish those who have lost sight of You, and heal the spirits of those who are broken. We pray this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, who suffered and died, and then rose from the dead to lead us into new life, now and forever. In Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.
