Words can not say enough but, we mourn another hero that has been taken from us. My deepest sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers. May the Lord give you strength and bless each of you during this time. Remember these few verses taken from the KJB. In I Samuel 20:3 it says, And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death. In John 3:17 it says, For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. And in Philippians 1:21 it says, For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

"A MAN IN BLUE"

A man in blue has lost his life in service of law.
The love that makes this sacrifice the greatest love of all.
A Police man was killed today, the reason I cannot say.
I don't know why he had to die.
The man in blue died for me and you;
we must remember him too.
Flags fly low, let use bow in prayer
for fallen police men everywhere;
and remember this: that they are missed.
The badge burns bright like an evening star
free from a world of war.

Ret. Officer William Hackley
Baltimore Police Dept.

To the explorer: Well done on getting him help. Thank you.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

My most heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Officer May. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. May, I lost my husband in the line of duty 9 months ago - I truly understand what you are going through. Your husband is with God now, and his spirit will be with you and your daughters always. He will be your guardian angel - he will wrap his wings around you, and will guide and protect you on this most very painful journey you have just begun. Please know that you will get through this; I will be praying for you to have strength and courage. God bless you and your beautiful girls.

Officer May, thank you for your service and sacrifice. May you rest in peace, Blue Angel.

My prayers, thoughts, tears, and sympathy go out to all of Richard's loved ones. I especially pray that God will carry your wife and 3 daughters through this terribly tragic journey of mourning, grief, and healing they have just been catapulted into. It's never fair. I'm glad you got to spend Christmas with them one last time. Thank you for your sacrifice... we will never let anyone forget you. Say hi to Pete

Prayers not only for the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer May, but also for the young 14-year-old police explorer that was riding along that fateful day.

May his image and aspirations in law enforcement not be marred or traumatized by being the primary witness of such a tragedy.

Hopefully this Explorer will follow that aspiration and become a fine officer that lives up to the legacy of Officer Richard May.
