My mother related portions of this story to me on the way to her appointment this afternoon: Sheriff’s Deputy, Gunman Killed. We drive right by the home that was the scene of the crime on our way into Douglasville. I was saddened by the news. It is always tragic when an officer is killed in the line of duty. As we drove back home and passed the house I wondered, how do you hold a funeral for a person who has murdered someone? This thought had never really occurred to me before. I would think it was nearly impossible to make any remarks on such an occasion. How would you offer any comfort to the family, but at the same time how could you not try. Such tragedy in our world…
I wish there were true peace to be found.
Always,
Jo Ann
