Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

God of Justice, I am grateful for the lives and sacrifices of all America’s Peace Officers. They died serving us. Help us never forget. Help us celebrate their lives and honor their sacrifices. Be with the families of these fallen peace officers. Comfort them and give them Your strength and peace. Guide us as we seek to take care of the families of these fallen heroes. May we care for them with integrity. In commemorating the deaths of these fallen heroes, help us also to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition from this earthly life to the heavenly life yet to come. This assurance was guaranteed to all believers upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to that life to come with joy and anticipation. Thank You, Lord God, for hearing this prayer. In the mighty and holy name of Christ Jesus, Your dear Son, I pray. Amen.

To the surviving fiance of Jorge Dimas:

I spoke last week with another surviving fiance and wanted to reach out to you and offer my condolences for I know you have a very heavy heart as does Jorge's immediate family. Although my earlier reflection didn't make mention directly of your own personal grief, I know the dreams you had of a life with Jorge were also shattered.

I pray for solace for all those who love and miss Jorge. May you too get the support you need from the law enforcement community.

Rest In Peace, Jorge. I am so sorry you were robbed of your life at such a young age.
