Rest in Peace Ranger Private Frank Sicker. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of The Great State of Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers. I also Pray that the hounds of hell are gnawing on all those responsible for your murder and impeding justice for your murder.

Amen.
