To Patrolman Joseph Wargo:
I am so deeply sorry that you had to be taken away from your family in that way. May you be able to reach out to them and let them know you are ok, as my husband did to me. You ARE a hero just by the profession that you chose, and to put your life on the line day in and day out.
I salute you, Sir... GodSpeed.

You are in my prayers and may Joe reach out to you to let you know he is safe from ever being harmed again.

TO: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER : O, gentle Lord! Keep the day / night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent on me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think that no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. ** REST IN PEACE**

What a sad day to wake up to hear such tragic news. I've known Joe for about 15 years and he was always the ''life of the party'' type of guy, always a bunch of laughs.
