Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am a very lucky foster mom to Hannah, Officer Abney's personal dog. When I heard that his dog needed a soft place to land in her final days, it took all of 5 seconds for me to say yes. I am so sorry for the reason she is with me and I wish he could see she is happy and as healthy as a 16 yr old dog can be. I did not know Officer Abney but he enters my thoughts frequently. It has been just about a year since Hannah came to live with me and he is in my thoughts again. He has touched my life without me ever meeting him.

SPO Abney,
On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the LAARNG-especially in Iraq and as well as hurricane relief as well. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

d** it. I only learned he passed away tonight. Last I knew, he was doing alright. I “met” Officer Abney through a video game we both used to play, and when he was ambushed I wasn’t yet in law enforcement myself. I had an incident with him where, based on some facebook posts he’d made, I called his parish’s sheriff’s office to make sure he was okay. He was a brother in arms to me even though I never met him in person. He’d given me a standing invitation, which I wanted to take him up on some time, to come see New Orleans and get to know the parts that the tourists don’t usually see. To be honest, I’m ashamed of myself for only hearing of his passing now, three months later. Without even having met him you could tell that his heart and soul were of the finest quality and the world is poorer for his having left it. I’m sorry to have lost you brother, I’ll be praying always for your family.

Officers are just trying to do their job while protecting the community. Yet, they get ambushed, leaving torn families. Just like how public views of law enforcement have changed since the 90s, I hope another change is soon to come, for the better for law enforcement.

Rest in Peace Officer Abney.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Heavenly Father, I come before You today grieved in heart over the divisions in our country; the United States of America. I grieve for every life lost to violence, regardless of color or creed. And I especially grieve this day over the senseless deaths of America’s Peace Officers whose sworn duty is to protect us from harm. Please grant comfort and hope to their families. I know from the Holy Scriptures in Romans 13 that Peace Officers have a sacred task, to enforce laws that protect the innocent and punish the guilty. I pray that You will protect them as they serve us. Give them wisdom, discernment, and a deep desire to serve You. Please surround every Peace Officer in our nation, the United States of America, with battalions of warring angels to protect them from harm. We stand together in the powerful and mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ against every work of Satan intended to inflict injury and death on our Protectors. May Satan’s power be thwarted, in Your mighty and holy name, and his plans exposed by Your Light. Lord Jesus, I know that Your word teaches us that in You there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female. All superficial distinctions between us have been abolished by Your sacrifice on the cross. By Your grace and power, lead us into a new day of racial harmony in our country, a day in which Your name is again lifted high in our nation, the United States of America, and the rule of law is honored by all. Please grant us spiritual, political, and cultural leaders who will speak to us with Your wisdom and Your truth. Please renew us in heart, mind, and spirit that we may once again be
“One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”. In the mighty and holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His authority, I pray! Amen.
