Dear Ruben, I think of you and the injustice on a regular basis. I saw the pictures of your mom and the tremendous sorrow in her face. I know she needlessly lost one of the most beautiful and precious people in her life. Everyone knows Officer Byrne was wrong regardless of what the courts decided. Even Officer Byrne knows he was wrong and he is faced with his brutal mistake everyday for the rest of his life and beyond. Most important God knows Officer Byrne was wrong and someday God will give you and your family peace and justice.

Yes, spread your wings Ruben. Be the guardian angel for your mother, father, brother, friends and family. I know you are always watching them and protecting them. I would not be surprised if you would protect Officer Byrne too.

praying for your family this morning at 5am.I don't know you but God woke me and led me to you on the internet.Forgiveness is the only way to peace. Boys, revenge won't make anything better. God bless you he cares enough for you to get me,a stranger, out of bed to pray for you all.
