Four of our nations finest have been taken up into God's Police Department in heaven joining with all our other brothers and sisters in the badge who have also paid the ultimate sacrifice. This vent has put four families in the state of mourning deeper than most due to the number of brothers lost to one evil force. Know that police families across the nation all feel the pain and are in deep prayer for God's healing touch of love to come into their hearts. Your names will never be forgotten nor will your courage, your devotion to serving Gods children or your love for family and community.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

My condolences to Sgt. Sakai's family, friends, and department. No words can express the sorrow that is felt by losing not one but four officers in a two day period.

May the good LORD bless the people that knew Sgt. Sakai and give them comfort and strength in their time of need.

Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit

May God be with you in your grief. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
