God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
your providence guides our lives,
and by your command we return to you.

Lord, those who die still live in your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
We pray for Floyd’s family,
relatives and friends,
that they are not alone. We are our brother’s keeper.

Stevens now lives in your kingdom,
where all his tears and pain will be wiped away.
Unite us together again in one big family,
to sing your praise forever and ever.

Amen.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Steven was killed.

To the Floyd family, fellow correctional officers, and all who call Steven 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.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Lt. Floyd gave to his community and the citizens of Delaware, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 2, 2017.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

Lt. Floyd,

I am a fellow corrections officer. Your actions during that time of chaotic and deadly violence embodies the character traits of courage, bravery and self-sacrifice, that all corrections officers aspire to. Your example will not be forgotten. May you rest easy and your loved ones find peace in the days ahead.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
