Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

When my father passed away two years ago, I was given a beautiful poem. I keep it IN my uniform shirt pocket. I hope everyone that reads the poem can feel comfort as I did. God Bless the Uribe family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Below is the poem:

A HEART OF GOLD STOPPED BEATING
TWO SHINNING EYES AT REST
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
GOD KNOWS YOU HAD TO LEAVE US
BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU
THE DAY HE TOOK YOU HOME
YOUR MEMORY IS OUR KEEPSAKE
WITH WHICH WE WILL NEVER PART
GOD HAS YOU IN HIS KEEPING
WE HAVE YOU IN OUR HEART
I MISS YOU!

My heart goes out to all police officers not only in Arizona but across the world, as well as all family and friends of the Uribe family. When we lose someone as great as Officer Uribe, it affects everyone whether in the law enforcement field or not. As a former Phoenix PD employee who now lives in Texas, I am still greatly saddened by our incredible loss and will always keep Officer Uribe and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
