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.

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.

Deputy Reudelhuber,

Words cannot express the impact of loss upon your family, FCSO family, and friends through this time. Having served on David Platoon at the FCSO through some very difficult times of loss through 2004, it is the strength of God that sustains us through seasons of grieving.

Our prayers for comfort, peace, and strength are covering everyone that has been affected by this tragic event. God hears our prayers and He will provide all that is needed to press forward through faith.

I am certain that your LE/Military Community will find ways to come together and honor your life, to ensure that you always remain forever in our hearts.

Thank You for your selfless service to your Nation, State of NC, and community! Rest Easy, we have your watch covered from here Brother!
