As a Peace Officer in any state, it takes heart, pride, and joy to wear the uniform knowing that your life is on the line each and everyday. We appreciate her service and want to be a reminder that we are a nation supporting all of our fallen officers. You are a HERO Deputy Leising.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

To the entire family, I can't imagine your agony and pain. I know what's to lose your spouse. Grief is not linear, allow yourself Grace and room to grieve.

I'm so sorry that your life was taken by someone who did not value their own. My heart goes to your family who must continue on without you. May they find some peace in your memory.

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.
