As the mother-in-law of a fallen officer my heart breaks for the Ellis family, the police family, and the community. I know how hard this is for all of you. It is by trusting in God and leaning on each other that you will get through this. That's not to say it will be easy, because it won't be, but you can and will get through it.

Mrs. Ellis please know that you and your children are in my prayers and will be for a very long time. Having watched my daughter and granddaughter go through this I have some idea of what you have before you. You will need all the strength and resolve you can muster. You cannot do it alone. Don't be afraid to reach out to others, as their help can be immeasurable. Most of all, turn to Almighty God. May He bless and comfort you all.

Some people come into our lives and they go. Some come in, leave footprints on our heart and we are changed forever.

This young man's family lives very close to me. God will keep you in his hands and I will keep you in my heart.

In 40 years of law enforcement service, I have attended too many funerals of officers killed in the line of duty (one is one too many.) My heart is heavy, not only for the officer's family and his department, but for all law enforcement officers everywhere who lost a brother.
