John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Thank you all for your expressions of regards for Toure', our beacon of hope.
Memories entomb the pain,
joy is only fleeting
Joy is but a molecule of energy expended

Memories filter out
subtley,shading and complexity
Memories distort and oversimplify
As we seek out the essential
from the incidental,
to recall the profoud

In works of consequence, we index
the empowering memories,to plumb our circumstances..

My name is Ken Stevens and I rode a bicycle ride called the Heroes Ride out of Conroe Tx. this ride is to benefit the (National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial) where we wore a wrist band with an officers name on it. I was honored to have Toure Haywood's name. I wanted to know about the Fallen Hero I was riding for and wanted to give thanks to his family for allowing him to do what he apparently loved to do. I'm sorry for your loss. and I will say a special prayer for him and His family.

During my time with Georgia State University Police Department - Toure served as my FTO and my Sgt. I was only with GSUPD for about a year before leaving to start the new City of Sandy Springs Police Department. I lost contact with Toure as he moved on to East Point Police. However the Law Enforcement Community is really small (We all know each other) - R.I.P Toure - your family, friends, and co-works are all in my thoughts and prayers. Now you walk Heaven's beat!

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Toure died

To the Heywood family, fellow officers, and all who call Toure beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Officer Heywood gave to his community and the citizens of Georgia, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on May 28, 2015.

"Blue Spirited Watch"

Even though the many Law Enforcement Officers from all of our Neighboring Countries around this world have Fallen and Ended their Watch.

Their Devoted Spirits have Risen and are now carrying on their destinies up above in Heaven while awaiting to be rejoined in the distant future by the ones they love.

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
