May Your peace that passes all understanding sustain her and may she be drawn ever close to Your side for the continuing comfort of Your Holy Spirit. May Your mercy, grace, love and everlasting comfort also settle upon the family of this deputy and may Your grace additionally touch every member of the Jasper County Sheriff's Department as they rally around to support their wounded comrade and her family.
