No 161860 Sheriff O’Connor laid to rest Around 1,000 attend funeral Staff Reports Mt. Vernon — The chop of helicopter rotors overhead cut through the moments of si- lence, before the ceremonial "end of watch" was announced at Mt. Vernon Memorial Ceme- tery Saturday afternoon to sig- nify the end of fallen Sheriff Ladson O'Connor's service to Montgomery County. "We'll take it from here, Sheriff," crackled a dispatch- er's voice through radios at the cemetery, evoking another round of tears and sobs from the many in attendance. It was a sad end to a sorrow- ful last week, as the small com- munity of Montgomery County rallied behind its sheriff, and the law enforcement communi- ty drew in to honor one of its own—the first sheriff in Geor- gia to die while on duty in more than 20 years. A horse-drawn coach carry- ing the casket and law enforce- ment escort were led by a soli- tary bagpipe player who marched the procession through downtown Mt. Vernon to Brewton Parker College's Saliba Chapel for the funeral. The Houston County Sher- iff's Office Honor Guard deliv- ered the casket into the chapel, with a lone officer saluting the sheriff to begin the ceremony. Close to 1,000 gathered in- side the chapel to remember O'- Connor, elected to his first term in 2012, not just for his brief service to Montgomery County as sheriff but to his life, his legacy and the family he left Photo by Alison Beck See FUNERAL page 8a A member of the Houston County Sheriffʼs Office Honor Guard salutes the casket of Montgomery County Sheriff Ladson OʼConnor.

Instead of lingering on circumstances we can’t undo or trying to rationalize irrational behavior, we must turn our hearts and minds toward some- thing greater and stronger than our own capaci- ties, faith. We must have faith that these people lost to us are safe and free from pain and suffering. We must have faith that their families will hold tight to the love and bonds that can stretch far beyond the physical realm. We must have faith that justice will be served. And we must have faith that forgiveness is still available to someone who has committed such horrible sins against his fellow man. Because without faith we are merely living for today, and not for eternity. For all the sadness and sorrow wrought by this past week, Charleston is a reminder of why we need faith. And why we should strive to keep it close. Let’s pray for all those affected by this hate crime that their faith will provide them with strength, solace and perseverance. Because with faith, we have the ability to remake the world into a far better place.

Monday, June 22, 2015/Dublin, Ga/Page 6a The Courier Herald Solidarity in Charleston before church victims' funerals

CHARLESTON,S.C.(AP) — A week of funerals lie ahead for victims of the Charleston church massacre that killed nine people, re- opened old racial wounds and evoked memories of past episodes of violence against black churches. Bells tolled across the city Sunday as thousands linked up on a towering bridge and a historic sanctuary re- opened in displays of unity. Area residents repeated messages of solidarity, love and even defiance of evil at the remembrances, hopeful their expressions would drown out the hate embodied in the slayings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Authorities say a white gunman was welcomed into a Bible study last week at the historic black church be- fore making racist remarks and shooting nine people to death. "Because the doors of Mother Emanuel are open on this Sunday, it sends a mes- sage to every demon in hell and on earth," said the Rev. Norvel Goff, who led the first Sunday service since the killings at the church known as "Mother Emanuel" because it is one of the old- est black congregations in the South. Parishioners sing at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church four days after a mass shooting that claimed the lives of its pastor and eight others on Sunday, June 21, 2015, in Charleston, S.C.

"To the officers of Mont- gomery County, don't let the momentum slow down," Wood said. "Finish the work that Sheriff O'Connor started." Wood's comments generated shouts of "Amen" from many in the pews. Of the several hundred in attendance for the funeral, most followed the family out to Mt. Vernon Memorial Ceme- tery for the burial. Later that evening, another 300 joined deputies for a can- dlelight vigil at the courthouse square. Deputies, friends and others spoke, sharing insights into the life of a man cut down at the young age of 42. Deputies asked residents to pray for them and keep the Sheriff's of- fice in their thoughts and prayers as they deal with this challenging set of circum- stances. The vigil was closed with prayer and a rendition of "Amazing Grace."
