Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Walter Kent Mundell, Jr.

To the family of Deputy Mundell, I'd like to thank you for sharing his life with us in the montage. It reaffirmed that he left here knowing that ther was love around him. If you can take solace from his love for his family, it might make this tranistion a bit easier. To his children, your father is a hero and a warrior going where others feared to tread. As a father myself I wish there was something I could do or say to take some of the pain away...I do believe his final tour showed what a god cop he was and I would have been proud to walk through a door with him. To his fellow officers, after having been through a few of these, the pain numbs after a while but you'll be able to keep him in your stories and keep his memories alive with laughter. Stay Strong.
To Deputy Mundell,Godspeed warrior...youve done your job well, and we who remain will take it from here.

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"

Deputy Mundell, your area has suffered enough. I PRAY to GOD that you are the last, if not forever, for a very long time.

You did your duty. You've earned a rest. My heart and my prayers go out to those you have left behind. God bless and may you rest peacefully.

Kent, you saved the life of my daughter's husband and my grandchildrens' father. I could never find enough words to say thank you and I will be eternally grateful. At the same time, I am so deeply grieved that Lisa has lost her husband and Kirsten and Austin their father.

Jesus defined a hero when He said in John 15:13
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." Each one who wears the uniform of a law enforcement officer has gone beyond that definition. For you have made the commitment, that if called upon, you will lay down your life not only for your friends but also for complete strangers and even for those you may not even like. You are our true heroes. You are our true super-heroes. I salute each and everyone of you. Thank you for your service.

Please, stay safe.

I am sooo sorry. I lost my son a year and half ago and I can say I know how it is to walk in your shoes. My sons children were 3 & 5 so they will not remember their father. Thankfully your children will remember their Hero father.
Cling to your family and God and you can get mad. This Hero should be on earth not gone.
Pray to God and hold His Hand. Its a rough road to walk.
