To the Family of Officer Steiner, Friends and Coworkers:

God bless all of you. Be sure that you are thought about today and every day from those who have walked in this path before.
We hurt for you and pray that God will give you the strength to make it through.
When all of us come to ODMP and see what has happened to one of our officers, we think again of our loved ones that have been taken from us. We know the heartache that you are experiencing, but you are not alone, we are with you.

God bless you.

An Officers Last Patrol
A Policeman's Last Patrol
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 off his shoulders and said "No Lord, I guess I ain't, because those of us who carry badges can't always be saints." "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." "
I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got to steep." "And I never passed a cry for help, though at times 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 judgment of his God.
Step forward now Policeman, you've born your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's Street, you've done your time in hell....

Mrs Steiner.
At times like this, words just don't seem to be enough. There is no words or expressions that can take away the pain. It is with heartfelt sadness that we all mourn the passing of you husband.
May his life and love continue living through his child and all who loved him.May you always feel the warmth of his love surround you. Our hearts cry with you.

The dark today leads into light tomorrow.
There is no endless joy..........and yet
no endless sorrow.
