Into thy hands, O merciful Savior, we commend the soul of thy servant now departed from the body. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech thee, a sheep of thine own fold, a lamb of thine own flock, a sinner of thine own redeeming. Receive her into the arms of thy mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace and, into the glorious company of the saints in light. 

Thank you for your service, Detective Mengedoht.

Our prayers are with your family, friends, and colleagues.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2Thess3:16

Today the world lost a super hero, our metro family lost a sister, and a family lost a daughter, a cousin, but most of all a mother. All to a selfish mans reckless decision to drive while under the influence. Tonight we celebrate Christmas and as a city we mourn with the family, and our brothers and sisters in blue over the loss of one of our hero's, one of our cities own.
