And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Officer Underwood,

Thank you for your dedicated service in protecting your community. This incident is a tragedy and the fact that two firefighters and you were taken from this community by a "prank" is deeply disheartening. Rest easy sir, you will not be forgotten.
