What more of a sacred place than your own home and yet to not only be targeted and cut down there by ruthless and cowardly thugs, but to also have your own family killed also is just unimaginable. I hope and pray that any assailant who was involved and affiliated with this horrendous act in any way not only faced the proper justice here on earth, but even two fold in a different place with a much higher authority and justice. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.
