Gloria, I also am in a police family. My Father is Chief of Police. I know what it feels like. I wish I could be there with you. When I first read this I did not know where you were writing from. The same thing happened in our town at this same time. An officer went to a domestic violence call and was shot. There are expected to be 6,000 at the services. I cannot even imagine all the things that that little Gabby is going thru (for a child her age). What in the heck is wrong with that school to transfer her now. AND AT THAT AGE. Gloria, I know that there are not words strong enough to comfort you. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as you have been, but moreso. God does not give us more than we can handle. You are really being tested aren't you? Just remember "God is there for you and your family". Many hugs, Love and Prayers, Diana

Believe me, when I say I have thought of nothing but you and your family all day!

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Date: Monday, September 8, 2008, 2:38 PM 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!

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!

My cousin who is a Martinez Police Officer was killed today during a domestic dispute. We have been crying all day - My husband who works with him is being kept at the PD, and the surrounding towns/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 with the creep. Thought I would share..it's still hurts. At least he is in a better place!

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
