MelissaInPhilly Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 In the last ten months there have been three police officers killed in the line of duty here. Officer Isabel Nazario was the last one. I didn't know her at all, but I went to the viewing to pay my respects (I once went to a Catholic funeral many years ago and didn't know what the heck was going on. When the priest said something about the "presentation of the gifts," I said to myself "isn't it a bit too early for Christmas")? Anyway, even though I didn't know her or the family at all, I felt tears come to my eyes. The officer has a young daughter and was about to be married. She was only forty. So sad. It just reminded me of how fleeting and precious life is. Thank you and God bless to all our first responders. Here's a link to the story: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking...en_officer.html
Spun Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 It is sad to say but our country has a killing problem. Along with a drinking and drug problem. I pass on my sorrow and gratitude to the fallen officers, family and friends.
