Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the family and friends:
I pray that you will lean on God during this time. No family should have to shoulder what you are having to at this time. Stay strong for one another. Two verses from the Bible may comfort you:
The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.
Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not into thine own understanding.
I know from our family's tragedy that I kept feeling like it couldn't be happening and that it felt like a bad dream for so long. I pray that God will help you and strengthen you.

Your actions during this incident make you a hero by definition. You took an oath to protect the citizens of your community, and you did so, even while dealing with your own family tragedy. This defines who you were as a public servant. You are an inspiration to us all.

Another Officer has fallen, Lord, You must have had a very special reason for needing him now, which is unknown to us. Officer Evans is now standing his watch in Your Kingdom.
