Just when you think the rage of the storm for the Odessa Police Department couldn't be any worse, they have had to endure yet another officer lost in the line of duty.
I know of no words that are near adequate. No words that could possibly suffice. I would just like for the family, friends and co-workers to know there are folks all across this nation that are lifting you up in prayer before the Almighty.
May you each experience the eternal love and endless blessings of our Lord and Savior in the coming days.
