You, Sir, are what being an American is all about. From the troops on two different war fronts to the Law Enforcers stateside tasked with holding the thin blue line, we do all that we can to secure America's freedom. And today, Sir, you went into battle to seek out the enemy who killed one of our own, and in doing so you gave your own life. I have never met you, but I am truly honored reading your story. God bless you, Sir, and please know I will pray for your family during their time of loss and need. I truly believe we will all meet in God's Heaven one day and will embrace each other as only brothers could understand. To your friends and family I will pray for you and cry with you, even from afar. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they are truly the children of God.

To Mrs. Sutphin and daughters-
There are no words to take away your pain, but please know that your sadness is being shared by many in your extended "law enforcement family". Your husband was clearly a dedicated public hero and his sacrifice and service will not be forgotten.

My daughters and I will pray for peace and comfort for your entire family.

Corporal Sutphin,
I read the details of your incident here in Michigan as your story has made national headlines. I am so deeply saddened by your loss. I pray for your loved ones...both your immediate family and your police family. I'm sure that everyone thought you were "safe" given you had already been injured in the line of duty just 3 years ago. Thank you for choosing and continuing to serve and protect. I am humbled by your sacrifice.

You are a true HERO in every sense of the word.

Thank you Officer

Mrs. Sutphin,
Although I didn't know your husband, I do remember meeting him at Scott's visitation. I remember how sad he was then (as we all were) and am so sorry to hear that this sadness has returned to your family. My husband and I and our children will be praying for you.
