Almighty Heavenly Father, grant comfort to the family of Sergeant Thomas A. Sanfratello, of the Genesee County Sheriff's Office, New York, as they mourn his death in the Line-of-Duty. Since You are Judge over all, O Lord, please guide the civil authorities charged with the investigation of this crime that the evidence may be carefully considered and those responsible be brought to justice. Give the family, of this fallen hero, patience in their waiting, and lead them to eventually forgive, even as You have so graciously forgiven us. In Christ Jesus, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

And Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13 ESV)
