Officer Swasey and I were in Cub Scouts together, my mother was the den mother. I’m shocked and saddened by this. Far too young for this to happen. My prayers to his family.
From what we saw on TV this morning, he was a good and wonderful man. His poor family is now without a husband and father.
I’m sure he will be sadly missed by many people. I feel so badly for his wife and children, who will be haunted every year on what is to be a joyous season.
Prayers to you as well, as you knew him when he was an innocent boy and a childhood friend, that is your memory, which makes it very real for you.
I urge you both to pray to the eternal, almighty God, and not to any man or family.
Matthew 10
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Psalms 116
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Prayers also to Officer Swasey and his family.
