Rest in Peace Chief Alman Glen Lanford. Thank You for your brave Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Denton, Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your ancestors and the men and women who now serve Denton, Texas. I also Pray that while your murderers escaped punishment here on this earthly realm that the hounds of hell are now gnawing on their sorry bones. May nothing but thorn bushes and weed grow on their graves. May their sorry souls be consumed by the lake of fire.

Amen.
