May Your mighty Arms of Love reach out and uphold the family of the officer who died and draw them ever so close to Your side. Lord, we also know that many other B.A.R.T. officers and their families are grieving and mourning greatly of which only Your everlasting love, mercy, peace and grace and carry them through this very difficult emotional time. Lord, may every officer, friend, co-worker and family member sense Your sweet presence in the midst of this great time of mourning.
