It always has to be some scumbag who just got out of prison, who never should have been released.
Sad day.

My Father and Grand-Father were both police in some capacity. My dad was a deputy, patrolman, and finally a detective. I can't imagine how hard this would be. Prayers for the family of the officers involved.

Detective Hobbs. 
This was a nice table set for Detective John Hobbs. The letter reads: "Table set for one symbolizes the absence of our beloved officer. White tableware is symbolic of the purity of his intentions to respond to the need in his community. Single red rose signifies the blood that was shed in sacrifice for our safety and freedom. Yellow ribbon represents the ribbons worn on the labels of those who demand rememberance of their loved one. Slice of lemon represents the bitter fate of his loss. Salt sprinkled on the plate is symbolic of the countless fallen tears of family and friends. Inverted glass is to represent the fact that the fallen cannot partake. Empty chair symbolizes the fallen that is not present. Candle is reminiscent of the light of hope which lives in our hearts to illuminate his way home." |
