LaKeycha,
I am truly sorry for your loss. During this time, remember the three F's (Faith, Family, & Friends) to guide you through.

Mrs. LaKeycha McDonald & Family: Mrs. McDonald, I've only known you for a short while and we've only had small conversations. However, I've seen your heart and it's lovely. I'm not going to tell you "I know how your feel" because, I don't. I am going to share with you that God is much too wise to make mistakes and we all know this from personal experiences. When my daughter died, I learned that she was never mine to start with. She was only loaned to me for the time she was here, just as Chad was loaned to you and the rest of the family. We are all God's children. Jesus said in John 14:2-3 (KJV) "... I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Know that Chad has left this earthly home and returned to his heavenly home. Find comfort knowing that Chad "will rest in the shadow of the Almighty". Psalm 91:1 (NIV).
I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.
Much Love and God Bless.

Policeman's 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught,
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind.
He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romans I'm a "minister of God",
He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.
When I walk through death's valley,
Right up to the door, I will fear no evil,
For He comforts me more.
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.
He prepares a table especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies,
He gives me authority to uphold the Law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity,
As long as I hear Him say, "Well done..,"
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.
Amen
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and fellow Deputy's.....

Mrs. McDonald,
I've often thought of you since I left Macon Behavioral because you were always so kind, fair and caring. I see your husband mirrored those same qualities. I am truly sorry for your loss and I am praying for your strength and faith during this difficult season. Always know that God has a plan and a purpose for everything He allows and He will cause it to work for your good. Trust Him to bring you peace and He will do it. If you need ANYTHING, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My condolences to the family, friends, and co-workers of Deputy McDonald.
The policeman stood and faced his God,
which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining
just as bright as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
no Lord. I guess I ain't.
Because those who carry badges
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough
and sometimes I've been violent
because the streets are awful tough.
But I never took a penny that
wasn't mine to keep...
though I worked a lot of overtime
when the bills got just 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 fear.
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 silence all around the throne
where the saints had often trod,
as the policeman waited quietly
for the judgement of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
you've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on heaven's streets.
You've done your time in hell."

Mrs. McDonald, I was on the same Squad with Chad and I enjoyed working with him because he had the same passion I have for the job. I'm in Iraq right now and my heart is broken. When Chad was in the jail he worked with my wife, Kathy, and I knew he always had her back, just like he had mine on patrol. I have no idea of the pain you're feeling right now, but I do know there's a Comforter that will ease your burden and that's Jesus Christ our Lord. May GOD Bless you and your family.
