| I offer my most sincere prayers and extend my deepest sympathies to the family friends and fellow Galveston Police officers after the tragic loss of Sgt. Jeff Wyers and the serious injury of his new bride. I pray that the Lord Jesus will be there with you to hold you and to give you His Peace and Comfort during this most difficult and sorrowful time. I pray also for Mrs. Wyers. That Jesus will oversee her complete recovery, both physical and phycological, that were caused by this accident and the loss of her new husband. |

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Officer Sgt. Jeff Wyers,Thanks for being one of our greatest heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow officers for being our home town heroes everyday, on the front line of defense. Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great state and this great nation of ours.
We salute you , My Friend
Final Inspection
The officer stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,officer.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the officer waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,officer
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. Jeff Wyers, LEO.
May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. For his
unselfish dedication to Protect and Defend the citizens of his
community he is a hero
and will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Jeff.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
