Reflections for Trooper David W. Cunniff

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
David is watching from Heaven standing next to the Son.
Although I never met him, we went to the same school (SCS) and also went to Grace for a while, as well as First Pres.
May Gods peace find you, easing the pain knowing you will see him again soon.
In Christ,

The worst time of year for this type of thing, not that there is a good time. For all the time you spent protecting the people of New York, I thank you. Your family at work but most especially your family at home is in my prayers. So long as you are kept near in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be gone.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
