Rest in Peace Deputy Robert Ned Clendennen. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Limestone County, Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your Family and for the men and women that still serve Limestone County. I also Pray that the hounds of hell are gnawing on the bones of your murderer as his soul is being burned up in the lake of fire!

Amen
