Reflections for Border Patrol Agent Richard Goldstein

To the wife, children, granddaughter, parents, brother, extended family and friends as well as the fellow Border Patrol Agents who worked with Agent Richard Goldstein, I offer my most sincere condolences.

May Border Patrol Agent Richard Goldstein bask in God's perpetual light and rest in His eternal peace for having made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting and serving not only our country...but for his respect for life even in its canine form.

I pray that God will give his family...especially his parents...the graces and strength needed to be able to cope with their grief at this most difficult time.

Although the sudden loss of one so young is devastating to all those who loved him…for parents to have to outlive their child who was in the prime of his life…that is the most painfully heartbreaking cross that a parent is asked by God to endure…and only with His help will you be able to carry on one day at a time. I know, because I too suffer the loss of a wonderful son. I offer Agent Goldstein’s mother and father my deepest sympathy…be proud that you raised an honorable, caring and decent human being.

You all will be remembered by the many survivor families who come to this site to pay their respect and to honor and offer prayers in behalf of your loved one and your family.

God watch over all of you as you mourn this tragic loss… and treasure the precious new baby that has been sent to your family and know that she will be watched from above by a very loving grandfather.

My department had a man murdered in the line of duty in February. I am a communications operator and my cousin is a border patrol agent based in Tucson. My heart and prayers go out to the family. I know these Border guys work hard and don't usually have a back up unit. They are spread really thin. Maybe now the Border Patrol will emphasize a back up unit of the two legged variety. The law enforcement family has lost too many guys this year.

As we returned from National Police week it was with a heavy heart to see so many officer's names on this page. My heart and prayers are with the entire family, friends and coworkers of Agent Goldstein. May God be with you all during these dark and troubled times. May his new granddaughter grow up to know just how special a man her grandpa is and to know that she has a very special angel watching over her. God bless you ....

You gave your life for another (your partner), that is what officers do. You took the oath to protect and serve and you did it well. Rest in peace. Your actions and dedication will NEVER be forgotten.
