Rest in Peace Constable Lee Olen Jones. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Cameron County, Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your Family and for the men and women that still serve Cameron County. I also Pray that the hounds of hell are gnawing on the bones of your murderer as his soul is being burned up in the lake of fire!

Amen
