Roll of Honor
Incident
Deputy Sheriff Caroline Green succumbed to injuries sustained in a vehicle accident one week earlier when her patrol car collided with a wall at the VCU Medical Center.
She had just finished guarding a prisoner and was leaving the hospital when the accident occurred. She remained in the hospital and underwent several operations before succumbing to her injuries.
Deputy Green had served with the Richmond Sheriff's Office for 16 years.
God of Justice, I am grateful for the lives and sacrifices of all America’s Peace Officers. They died serving us. Help us never forget. Help us celebrate their lives and honor their sacrifices. Be with the families of these fallen peace officers. Comfort them and give them Your strength and peace. Guide us as we seek to take care of the families of these fallen heroes. May we care for them with integrity. In commemorating the deaths of these fallen heroes, help us also to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition from this earthly life to the heavenly life yet to come. This assurance was guaranteed to all believers upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to that life to come with joy and anticipation. Thank You, Lord God, for hearing this prayer. In the mighty and holy name of Christ Jesus, Your dear Son, I pray. Amen.
