In Remembrance of Deputy Josie Greathouse Fox
Remember.....
Someone killed a policeman today
And a part of America died...
A piece of our country she swore to protect
Will be buried with her by her side.
The beat that she walked was a battlefield too,
Just as if she had gone off to war.
The flag of our nation will fly at half-mast
To her name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today...
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors.
This cop put her life on the line.
Now her ghost walks the beat on a dark city street,
And she stands at each new rookie's side.
She answered the call...of herself she gave all,
And a part of America died.

For family members that haven't heard this news, this Deputy was gunned down in Delta after stopping a car in a suspected drug deal. Her mom was Grandma's hair dresser for many years-(Friday, 10:00am appointment!) This has shocked our little community of Delta. She is a wife and mother of two kids. Josie was born and raised here and she will be missed.
Hug your kids and family everyday and tell them you love them. You just never know when the end will be here.

ReplyDeleteThat poem is just perfect. So horrible that this had to happen to her and her family, let alone anyone!
