Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Mark: I was truly saddened to see your picture on this app. I was reviewing all of the fallen after the most recent LODD here in NYC (PO Jonathan Diller). I had no idea you battled 9/11 cancer. Perhaps the shear size of the NYPD prevents some of us from keeping track of each other after promotions and/or transfers. I remember you from our time at PSA 6 in Harlem. You were a gentleman. Rest easy big guy.

Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful. None of America’s Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worst does sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Soothe their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In His name, I pray. Amen.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]
