You are not alone you are never alone and never will be alone in life. You are surrounded by courageous, empathetic caring law-enforcement officers, family and close friends in death. You will be surrounded by even more in spirit and in our minds you are still alive and you are still serving and fighting that good fight, thank you for your commitment to Atlanta. Thank you for your commitment to the great people of Georgia. Thank you for your service. The fight doesn’t end just because we come back home from war. We must protect our great land from all enemies foreign and domestic, unfortunately, life was taken Way too early by a domestic threat a lot of threats occurring lately I want to express my condolences and gratitude toward you for you and I will continue my line of service thinking about this tragedy your life and legacy that you left behind which is so great, I will remember the good times And the bad times life is so much better with everyone in it let’s all remember that there are much worse. Things in this world than death. Death is the easy way out. Death destruction is the easy way out the cop out if you will but it still hurts it still hurts those who are left behind those who are left behind living, and those who cannot ascend yet to Paradise. In time all of this madness will go away but also in time I fear that greater madness will fall upon us all the good the ugly and the bad hopefully it never happens hopefully it is just a bad thought that I have everything going on with law enforcement officers being killed willy-nilly Being threatened and murdered willy-nilly I just do not know anymore. Stay calm if you can stay peaceful if you can remain vigilant.
