I DID NOT KNOW THIS MAN BUT MAY GOD BE WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY . RIP OFFICER SMITH

August 19, 2005

With all my heart and affection that goes out to the family and people who loved Officer Smith, I'm sorry for your lose. America is now poorer but heaven is so much more richer. There are no words to express how a fellow officer or much less a family member could possibly express the lose of a brother in such a traggic manner. To the family of Officer Smith, may I only say thank you, to Richard for you service and to the family for your sacrifice. God speed my brother!

As the sun sets on us we again lose another officer. A man that stood strong willing to protect us as we sleep. A man that had compassion when children needed kindness. A man that has a family. How can we as simple men and women express our loss of a brother? How can we ever begin to show our hurt for his family. All we can say is that we will not let them beat us down. When it is our time to replace our badge upon our chest and step out into the night we will remember men like Richard Smith. And so many others that fall. We owe it to them and to their love ones.

My condolences and prayers go out to the families and friends of these officers.

Isaiah 57:
1- The righteous perish and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
2- Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find reast as they lie in death.
