Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

OMG! Was shocked to hear about Jimmy! Our families were neighbors and good friends on Valley Drive in Little Rock, AR., he was my age. The Capoots, Whiteheads and Brumbacks were all over the neighborhood playing ball, riding bikes, playing hide and seek, playing cards and bumper pool, we all went camping and to the lake together. I also seem to remember him playing cowboys and indians. I remember him as being goofy and funny, had only seen him once, since, while he was a highway patrol officer. I am in awe of what an amazing person he turned out to be. These reflections of him are very touching and I'm sure only give a glimpse of the kind of person Jimmy must have been. I am praying for the family left behind and pray that God will rest Jimmy's soul.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
