Reflections for Sergeant Anthony Ray White
I just wanted to take a moment to remember Sergeant Anthony White and his dedication as an officer. There was this one incident I recalled where we received a radio call about a transient roaming the USG P-4 parking lot. He saw me and suggested we do a sweep of the area together. Even after we determined that the subject was gone when we arrived, he still expressed his hope that this time he was really gone for good. It made me think about how many guys have had their cars broken into around there. His commitment to keeping the community safe is something that truly stands out to me. Just wanted to share that memory.
Rest In Peace.

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.
