Officer Rose,

Thank you so very much for your service to our nation as well as your service to the people of DeKalb County. Rest in peace. I will pray for your wife and three children, especially your third one, yet to be born. My wife was born just weeks after her father, a U.S. Forest Service Ranger, died while attempting to find and rescue a fellow Ranger during an arson fire. I will also pray for the rest of your family, friends, loved ones and colleagues.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God”. – Matthew 5:9
