Trooper Chelsea Richard,

When you made your decision to enter law enforcement some nine years ago you became blessed:

For the Lord said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 ESV

When you investigated a traffic collision on I-75 on Saturday, May 3, 2014, you answered God's call to serve:

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8 ESV

As a result, you were struck by an errant pick-up truck pulling a trailer; sacrificing your life so that others might live and be protected:

And the Lord said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ESV

I, along with your family, friends, and comrades, will mourn your sacrifice and loss in the line of duty:

And the Lord said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 ESV

Now go! Rise up! And do battle against Satan and his demons as an angel for the Lord!

In God's merciful love,

Pastor Steven R. Closs
Retired Captain of Police, Nashua NH Police Department

We mourn the loss of a HERO forever. Chelsea will be loved, remembered and admired by all for her honorable service as Florida's Finest. Chelsea and I came on the Patrol together in the 111th BRC, spending 30 weeks together at the academy. Chelsea was a wonderful person and I miss her. My deepest sympathy to her family, our brothers and sisters with the Florida Highway Patrol and our entire law enforcement family. Rest in eternal peace sister. You're forever in our hearts.
