Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Neal Richards, NG/LEO. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Neal.
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.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Officer Neal Richards ,Thanks for being one of our greatest heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow officers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend 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."

Mr. Richards,
Thank you for your willingness, as a military veteran, to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Thank you also, as a member of the law enforcement/EMS family for your commitment to the community to which you served. Your death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, law enforcement/EMS brothers and sisters, all those who appreciate their safety, all who truly appreciate their freedom, and each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders. We are all proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for in both the military and your community. Your missions are now complete. You are truly an American hero and the community to whom you served, and the world in which we live are safer places because of your commitment as a community servant and to freedom itself. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

Thank you for protecting the freedom of our country. You will always be remembered as a "TRUE AMERICAN HERO". Rest easy, Soldier.
To those I love and to those who loved me:
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave to you my love you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part
So, bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say,
"Welcome Home"
