Hey Elizabeth - so you know. Right now all of our heads are in a cloud. Jim, my hubby rides motors, and he has to escort the body from the morgue to the funeral home in a few hours - (didn't know this) there is always someone with the body 24 hours until Paul is laid to rest. Jim has his shift from 10pm to 6am tonight. It's tough to have a family member there - I can't imagine what is going thru Jim's mind. We have prayed together several times, and I need to talk about it. Now this morning - Gabby's school called and said she is a inter district transfer and needs to go to her home school! Well...she hasn't gone to her "home" school at all. this is devistating - she is just making sense of her Uncle passing, and two dogs - now this! I totally feel badly for her. I am praying if she can stay at the Valhalla school she has always been. Please continue to pray for strength to get thru these issues at hand! Love and Hugs, Gloria C "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your Peace" Exodus 14:14

Oh my God, Gloria, I don't even know what to say to you! I read that entire story yesterday because of the officer. You see, I was already praying for you and the rest of his family. I come from a police family! All of my relatives are cops! I know what it is like to send them off at the start of their shifts. Please know that all of you, including the other officers in the department are in my thoughts and prayers!

Life is ...sometimes we don't understand why people or pets have gone suddenly.My cousin who is a Martinez Police Officer was killed today during a domestic dispute. We havebeen crying all day - My husband who works with him is being kept at the PD, and the surroundingtowns/cities have taken over the streets...It's a blessing for all of the different police agencies from all over have brought food, their condolences,flowers, etc...they are suppose to do a debreifing/counseli ng for all the officers who actually had contact withthe creep.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion. Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven. Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around. Letter by Keys to Success
