This has been a very sad week. We have ran many stories about the police shootings in every paper every day. I came home last night after the memorial at the Crestview Community Center and hugged my son. I know that Officer Lopez and Officer York were both family men and they leave their beautiful families behind. These men gave up their lives to protect our county. They were retired military men who served to protect our country.
These men are heroes in my book.
I was driving back to work today after lunch and I saw all the police vehicles surrounding Central Baptist Church for Officers Lopez’ funeral. There were cops form Louisiana, Texas, and various other cities and counties.
Make sure that every single cop you see that you take the time out and shake their hands and tell them, “THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!”
Officer Lopez and Officer York: Rest in Peace gentlemen.
D/S Skip York and D/S Burt Lopez were Deputies and men beyond words. It is Skip I remember with greatest fondness and his assistance in matters with my grand-children.. Words cannot express the sorrow of the heart. Remembered with a smile and missed deeply. They now rest in God’s Loving Arms and watch over all from above.
