Lakewood Police - RIP
I did not know the Officers or their families personally. It seems though that each of us in the South Puget Sound and around Western Washington had a connection to the officers through mutual friends or family. Conversations on the subject with coworkers and friends usually turn a leaf or two that holds a connection. My thoughts and prayers have rested on the children that will spend their first Christmas without a loving parent, not knowing why bad things sometimes happen to good people.
I encourage anyone who can to donate to the Lakewood Police Independent Guild http://www.lpig.us/
O Gentle Presence, peace and joy and power
O Life divine that owns each waiting hour,
Thou Love that guards the nestlings faltering flight!
Keep Thou my child on upward wing tonight.
Love is our refuge; only with mine eye
Can I behold the snare, the pit, the fall:
His Habitation high is here and high,
His arm encircles me, and mine, and all.
Science and Health, by Mary Baker Eddy
