A Fallen Servant


A week ago, on Tuesday, my city woke up to hear about the tragic murder of Police Constable Eric Czapnik, while on duty at 4:30 a.m. He was 51 years old and leaves behind a wife and four children. He only became a police officer two years ago. That alone impresses me - someone who goes after their true calling even at an age most people would consider it "too late"! Please say a prayer for Constable Eric's family, including his police family, as the funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon.
"...Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.....and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Ps. 23

Dear Julie LBM,
Thank you for caring and sharing the news, letting other pilgrims participate in praying for the wounded family.
I am doing that now.

it is very sad..there will apparently be about 10,000 officers going to the funeral who will be marching behind the behind the casket. i know that there will be very many there from the niagara peninsula.
it is so sad for the family.
just to think that it was a rcmp officer who murdered him.

I hold a special place in my heart for police officers as I truly wanted to be one when I was a teenager and early twenties but then a career as a paramedic caught my attention.
