Reflections for Police Officer Stephen John Petruzzello

Thoughts and prayers with Officer Petruzzo's family, friends and his brother and sister officers, from a former Cliffside Park resident. While I never had the honor of working with this young officer. I've worked with others before, and know the dedication which these folks have to their communities. God bless.

For Special Police Officer Stephen Petruzzello:

The law-officer is susceptible to all the perils of being on the street, including what imperils the average citizen crossing the avenue - especially when drivers are preoccupied in so many ways or when just plain careless or reckless. We regret that Stephen would be the next law-officer to lose his life in such a manner.
We pray for Stephen's family, co-workers, friends, and all who care about him. May they be ready to reach-out to one another at this time.
We are proud to render Officer Stephen Petruzzello, a soldier-of-the-law, a final salute.

IT is especially hard to say RIP to young Officer Petruzello. Only ONE MONTH out of the Academy he and another officer were mowed down but a careless driver in an SUV. You only served one month, but you died in blue, that makes you a Hero. Please give our best to those who have gone before us. You earned a badge, you earned WINGS. Thank you for your service OFFICER.

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 knows what is best. Now I am at home 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. I know some still have anger about the way I died, but God sees and bottles every tear you cry. As difficult as it may be please don't hold a grudge. Remember this my loved ones God alone will judge. Then on that resurrection day when all the dead will rise, the Lord will reunite us together in the skies. Please don't be sad and mourn for me I'm doing what I love; serving God and guarding you from heaven up above.
