Rest In Peace Officer Robert Edward Fellows. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Wichita Falls, Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers and those brave souls who choose to follow in your footsteps. I also Pray that the scum who is responsible for burning those buildings that led to your death shall burn forever in the lake of fire.

Amen.
