Heavenly Father, we remember our brother, Lieutenant David J. McShane, of the New York State Environmental Conservation Police, who is now in Your eternal presence. We thank You for giving him to us to know and to love as a comrade and friend on this our earthly pilgrimage. In Your boundless compassion console his family, friends, and the New York State Environmental Conservation Police in their time of sorrow. Give them faith to see that death is the gate of eternal life so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth until by Your call we are reunited with those who in saving faith have gone before us. In Christ Jesus' mighty and holy name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

[Jesus said]: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 ESV]
