Rest in Peace

I ask one thing - that in still, far-off days,
Someone who knew me should in their daily rounds,
Suddenly pause, caught by some sight or sound,
Some glance, some phrase, some trick of memory's ways
which brings me to mind, then I shall wait,
eager with hope, perhaps to hear -
“how great if he were with us still!”
And then at the end, all that I wish for is just -
“he was my friend!”

From “A Soldier's Epitaph” by David McNicholl

Officer Reis,
On today, the 39th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections Officer.

You were a part of my life from 1948 until your passing in 1975. Your wife Stella and daughter Becky as well. I have warm memories of your family's visits to our family through all of those years. I miss you terribly to this day.

Officer Ries
You are not forgotten. I was a young officer at ERE and used to hear the older hands talk about you. They talked about how solid you were and how you would take a younger hand under your wing to train the lessens needed. I wish I had met you in person but I know what type of man and officer you were. Rest in peace brother

I miss you, Dad, and I love you so much. You left me with such a legacy; you are remembered by many people who will never forget your kind and humble ways. I hope I carry in me some of your many wonderful qualities. I think you would be proud of your family and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren you never got to meet. We didn't have enough time together. But one day, I know I will see you in heaven. Until then, Dad, you are in my heart.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"
