John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Dear Jose:

I won't besmirch this sacred site speaking of the cowardly vermin that did this. Yes, they are true cowards, commit the crime and run.

Thank you for you service and the honor you brought to our profession. You will always be a member of the greatest fraternity on the planet, the "Thin Blue Line". Our line gets stretched, but it will NEVER break.

Father God, bless this brother of ours that You called home, and hold in the palm of Your hand. And Father God, bless him and his family, and every police officer everywhere.

Jose, you showed the world what our oath really is, "To Protect and Serve", at all costs, when the cry of the wolf is at the door. Most people can't understand why we run TOWARD danger when most run away. That's what makes you one of America's Heroes. Rest in peace, we have the watch. I give to you, the words my late Dad gave me a long time ago "Above all else, honor".

To all public service officers, thank you for all you do. It's not said all the time but we appreciate what you do and the sacrifices you al make to try to make this world a better place to exist in. Love from NM.
