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

Rest In Peace Trooper Velez

I wish all of your family and friends strength through this difficult time. We all miss you very much. During times like these we must dwell on the good memories that we had with you. I will never forget all of the sports games that we shared together in Nandi's garage. Even though most of them were losses by the Browns. We always had fun regardless. Your halftime speeches were the best I've ever heard. Your spirit will live on with us forever. Take care for now Kenny, for we shall meet again.

My heart breaks for your family, co-workers & friends for I know the pain they are feeling. My first husband - NC Trooper Calvin Taylor - was also killed when struck by a vehicle (tractor-trailer) while on a traffic stop. I pray for comfort for you as you begin to travel this long & sometimes lonely road you are on. Don't forget to let yourselves mourn as you need to, laugh when you feel like it and remember that everyone does this at a different pace. Your TROOPER will never be forgotten and your loss won't be forgotten either. Wrap your arms around each other & help each other out.

My Condolences to His Family and the Men and Women of the Ohio State Patrol. The last time Kenneth Velez and I talked we laughed because we both had the same first name easy to remember. I can't believe he is gone. We worked as escorts for over size load out of the port of Toledo.
