Reflections for Sergeant Linden "Beau" Raimer
Words are so difficult to find in such bizarre and tragic times. My heart goes out to the families of these two men & the brothers and sisters of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office with your loss of two of your own. A Sgt. for your dept. is a one of my dearest friends and I feel I know you all. Thoughts and prayers will be with all of you and for those who were injured in these accidents as well that they will heal. God Bless

God must need more officers in heaven as he has taken two of the best, the fellow deputy you were honoring, and yourself. Keep it safe up there for us all.

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with Cpl. Ramier's family, friends and co-workers. I was married to Alabama State Trooper Brian Nichols EOW 2/17/2002 and I am now married to Washington County Deputy Sheriff Aaron Carpenter. All of your COPS family is here for you and hurting for you. We all became a family when our loved ones became police officers and now we have even a stronger bond when one of our family members go down. We are here for you to help you along this journey you now have joined with us. God bless you all.

A POLICEMAN'S PRAYER
BROTHER WHEN YOU WEEP FOR ME REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
LAY ME DOWN AND WHEN YOU LEAVE REMEMBER I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE...IN EVERY DARK AND DREARY ALLEY I'LL BE THERE AS YOU SLOWLY TREAD, ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN THE DRIVING SNOW I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT AND YOU WILL KNOW.
IN PLACES WHERE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID TO WALK...
AT DOORS WHERE YOU MEET RESISTANCE...
IN HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN HIDE...
YOU KNOW I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE.
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I NOW RESPOND IS OVERSTAFFED WITH HEROES GONE...MEN WHO ANSWERED ONE LAST JOB AND DID IT WELL.
AS POLICEMEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CARD DEALT IN OUR HAND...A CARD WE HOPE WE NEVER PLAY BUT WE HOLD IT THERE ANYWAY.
THE CARD IS SOMETHING WE IGNORE AS WE STAND ON THAT THIN BLUE LINE EVERY TOUR...FOR WE KNOW THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PRAYER FOR MANY OUT THERE.
SO REMEMBER, AS YOU WIPE YOUR TEARS, THE JOY I HAVE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...AS THE JOB I LOVED TO DO I PRAY THAT THIS THOUGHT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

I am always saddened by the loss of another brother/sister but I also believe that each one was called to heaven for a reason. Corporal Beau Raimer will never have to, “Stay the course and suffer the tribulations” placed on him by man again. He will be a guardian angel for all LEO’s and their families.
For the ones left behind; I can only pray for strength and hope that you find comfort in what Beau left behind.
My prayers go out to the family whom I do not know (other than Beau’s Aunt Karen) Stay strong and KNOW that GOD took him for a special purpose.
GOD’s speed…You are not forgotten.
