I still think of Monroe and Gilly. Monroe always had a smile on his face every day at work and he made sure he always told me good morning and have a great day

To The Family of Officer Monroe Autry
May God Bless and Keep you and your Family
When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still.
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Officer Monroe Autry.

I knew Monroe several years ago & can only imagine the wonderful man, husband & father he was. My heart breaks for his family, wife, children & everyone close to him. How unfair for his life to be taken, but at the same time, how uplifting to know that he will forever be an angel to watch over and protect those he loved and those who will love him always.

To the Autry Family,
You have my deepest sympathy on your loss. I have only known Monroe for about two years, but it was a true pleasure. Monroe and I talked often about our dogs, and how much fun and hard work they were.
I will always be thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know him better and to call him a friend. I will cherish his memory for years to come.

I had the pleasure of knowing Monroe for the past two years. He was so helpful to my husband and I as our son entered the Marine Corp last year. He guided us as to what we could expect and how our son might be feeling. He was very much aware of our feelings and helped us through a stressful time. Monroe was one of the hardest working young men I know. His abrupt passing is a tragedic loss. We will miss him and we offer our sincere condolences to his family.
