DON'T GRIEVE FOR ME

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path god laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turn my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Task left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Than fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow,
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
I believe in God and believe I will see you again.
To all who knew Sgt. Aponte we hope these few words will help you through the dark days ahead.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

To the family and friends of Sgt. Dario Aponte and the members of the New Haven Police Dept.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Sgt. Aponte was tragically killed.

To Sgt. Aponte's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Dario gave to his community and the citizens of Connecticut, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 10, 2008.
