Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“ uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place. As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say its ok you’re with your eternal partners. A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

FALLEN HEROES
From the time I was conceived God had for me a plan
He wanted me to get involved to help my fellow man
I know some were against it but God always knows what's best
Now I'm resting with him and have perfect peace and rest
Heaven is so beautiful I'm walking streets of gold
Now I'm serving others along with the saints of old
God has given every soul a special job to do
Know this my loving family I'm watching over you
Soon we will be together never more to part
Until then just remember I'm as close as your heart

Wink, as we all called him, could always make us laugh. He was so proud of his children. I was so happy and optomistic for you when I heard that you were finally getting a transplant. It just doesn't seem real that you are gone. I'll never forget you brother. Rest in peace my friend. You would be the first to help anyone that needed it, your brothers and sisters will make sure that Michelle and the kids are taken care of.

I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.

As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.

You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.
