God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.


Rest in peace.

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"

To The Family of Sgt. Rosenthal:
I wanted to express my profound sympathies to your family, friends and colleagues. Your death after the five previous tragedies in Florida this year left me with goose bumps. Your bravery and dedication to duty and to your family will never be forgotten. My dad was a New York City policeman for almost 40 years with the 102 precinct. Rest in peace and Olav Hashalom Sgt. Rosenthal. I am sorry I will not be able to attend your Inspector's Funeral at Cong. Kol Tikvah. The words kol tikvah mean literally the voice of hope. We cannot put into words what your loss means to your family, hopefully the voice of hope and giving back to the community as you did will stand forever as part of your fine legacy.
