My deepest sympathy to all faimly friends and co workers of these three fine men who made the ultimate sacrafice for the people of the City of Pittsburgh. My husband was killed in the line of duty in January of 1991 and was a Hampton Township Police Officer. Two months later Grill and Heron of the Pittsburgh Police also made the ultimate sacrafice.
This is so tragic and I can say I know how you feel because I do know how you feel. You are in my thoughts and prayers and if you need to reach out to someone who has been there please feel free to contact me throught the Hampton Township Police Department. My heart is heavy but there is hope through the Lord and others who have been down this path before. May these heros rest in peace.

Officer Kelly you are the true definition of a Hero. You knew the danger and still you went to help your fellow officers. You will never be forgotten. To Officer Kelly's family please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Heaven was Needing a Hero:

I came by today to see you
I just had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I'd have held you, and never let go

Oh, it's kept me awake nights, wondering
I lie in the dark, just asking why
I've always been told
You won't be called home
Until it's your time

I guess heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is heaven was needing a hero
Like you

I remember the last time I saw you
Oh, you held your head up proud
I laughed inside
When I saw how you were standing out in the crowd
Your such a part of who I am
Now that part will just be void
No matter how much I need you now
Heaven needed you more

Cause heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is heaven was needing a hero
Like you
