To the family, fiance, friends, and Brotherhood of L.E.O's: I pray that your grief is comforted by the love you gave and received from Adam, and the memories shared by all who knew him. I pray to God that I never know how you feel as parents, but can relate too well with Rachel. It sounds so trite, but he IS with you...now and always.

My thoughts and prayers are with Adam's fiance and family. I knew him from my work at WaWa. He was always there when we needed him.. Day or night. He looked out for us and protected us. He had a fun personality and had a certain glow about him. He was a good person who will be missed but not forgotten.

I did not know Adam, his family nor his friends however, as the daughter of a police officer, I send my deepest condolence to the Adam's family, fiancee and friends. With the service he gave his country and being a State Trooper, he must have loved serving and protecting his country and his community.
All the wonderful words and stories I'm reading, Trooper Adam is a special man. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.
