Sheriff Aldridge, our world is full of evil people, and yet, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. You are a true hero, despite your short time of service and your young age. My heart breaks for the sorrow that your wife is experiencing. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.
