Dear Chief of Police Bry Layrisson:

I hope this letter finds you well, though I understand it is an incredibly tough time for you and everyone connected to your department. I am writing to extend my heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences for the loss of Corporal Pricilla Soell Pierson, a brave and dedicated professional.

The news of Corporal Soell’s death has deeply saddened me and my entire family. The sacrifice that she made while protecting and serving your community is a testament to the selfless and courageous nature of law enforcement officers like her. We can never truly understand the risks and challenges faced by those in law enforcement, and we are forever indebted to them for their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Corporal Soell’s family and colleagues during this immensely challenging time. Their loss is immeasurable, and we can only hope that the outpouring of support from the community can offer some comfort in these trying times.

In times like these, we must remember the positive impact Corporal Soell had on countless lives throughout her life and career. The memories of her dedication, kindness, and professionalism will remain etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know her.

To you, Chief Layrisson, and the entire Ponchatoula Police Department, my family and I want to express our gratitude for the vital work you do each day, often in the face of danger and adversity. The sacrifice of your fallen colleague serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that come with your line of duty. Despite the risks, you continue to serve with integrity and unwavering commitment, and for that, we are immensely thankful.

Having served 44+ years as a Law Enforcement Professional, my family stands with you during this time of mourning. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do to support your fallen hero’s family, you, and your department during this difficult period.

May the memories of Corporal Soell be a source of strength and may her legacy inspire others to follow in her footsteps of honor and service. We will forever be indebted to the sacrifice she made to keep us safe.

Lord God, You are the light, the Love, and the Life. The ultimate example has been shown to us through the work and ministry of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet in daily life, You raised civil servants in our nation, the United States of America, who also lay down their lives for the protection of others. We magnify You, Lord God, for continuing to show us what it looks like to serve and suffer in a redemptive manner. Help us to put in practice the example of these fallen peace officers in our own lives, so that their sacrifices may not be in vain. In Christ Jesus' mighty and holy Name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

End of Watch Tuesday, May 28, 2024.



Rest in Peace sister and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
