Everyday, I make an effort to pray to GOD that HE will grant me the MERCY, GRACE and Time to complete my mission on earth that GOD has created me for, before HE comes back to take me home ! We all as humans should learn to Love each other as humans, enough not to drink and drive, that will end other's lives prematurely, she had a son yet to raise and teach as only a mother can do ! It affects all living to learn of such tragedy in the world!

DD,

I am heartbroken. I was fortunate enough to call you friend, to have you as a trainer, to have you as a mentor, and to be able to speak you about any and all things. My heartaches and the tears just continue to fall. I am sorry that we could not be there with you in your final moments, and I believe this is what pains me the most. You gave your life for the oath that many of us share, and there will never be a way that we can fully repay you or your family for your sacrifice. We will watch over your son, and we will continue to do great work in your name. You are absent from the body, but forever present in the spirit. Rest easy my friend. Car 294, you have earned your heavenly reward.

Detective Deidra Mengedoht, of the Louisville, Kentucky Metro Police Department, was killed in the Line-of-Duty on Monday, December 24, 2018, when her patrol vehicle was struck from behind by a truck during a traffic stop. She became trapped in her vehicle when it erupted into flames. She is the 146th Law Enforcement Officer this year to Sacrifice ALL for us. May the Lord God bless and keep you! We will take it from here. Rest easy my Sister-in-Blue. God speed! He is waiting for you.

And for Detective Deidra Mengedoht's family, friends and all the members of the Louisville Metro Police Department and their families, please find comfort in these words from Scripture:

"Blessed are those who mourn. They shall be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 GW]

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

May God watch over the family and fellow officers these heroes worked with. We can only imagine their pain. But we can sympathize with them and we must support them. Running to the danger when all others run away from it. Selfless and fearless to the end. They now work heavens Beat. And are in God's hands forever. Ever watching down on us all.
