MEMPHIS —In July of 2011, Memphis Officer Tim Warren, was shot and killed in the line of duty.
Officer Warren was survived by his wife and two children.
Recently Officer Warren's daughter Jewel received an invitation to attend a father-daughter dance at her school.
Jewel was only 4 years old when her father was killed.
The now eight-year-old girl was upset and saddened by the letter.
Warren's widow contacted Taylor Amen, a Memphis police Department Officer's wife, who arranged for several officers to escort Warren's daughter to her father-daughter dance.
"We know we cannot replace Tim, but we can be there for his family when we are needed. It was truly a honor," said Officer Amen.

Precious!

May God bless these officers richly for showing love and kindness to this girl and her father’s memory.
These are an example of American Men, hopefully they will inspire younger men to think and act similarly.
Love the rose boutonnieres. Sweet.
Thanks for posting a good story.
Allergies seem to be acting up.

Officer Timothy Warren (right) pictured with his family.
(WMC-TV) - A Memphis police officer killed in the line of duty was described Monday by his best friend as “kind-hearted” and “loving.”
Officer Timothy Warren was killed Sunday evening in a shooting while responding to a domestic violence call at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Memphis.
“He loved his family,” Warren’s best friend, Jerome Gray, said Monday. “He loved his wife. He was very protective of his family, his kids.”
Warren, a 39-year-old Cleveland, Mississippi native, was a Memphis Entertainment District policeman, and had been with the MPD since 2003. He leaves behind his wife, Betsy, and two children: James, 8, and Jewel, 4.
Gray described his friend as a Christian, a Good Samaritan and a dedicated father.
Gray said Warren recently switched from the 11am to 8pm shift to the 7pm to 3am shift, just to spend more time with his children.
“He was on a different shift and his son and his daughter didn’t get to see him as much,” Gray said. “So he had switched shifts to accommodate himself so he could take his son off to school in the morning, and so he could see him come home off the bus.”
Monday, outside Warren’s home, flew a Christian flag, an American flag and a fallen officer memorial flag.
