May You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to be able to gather the facts surrounding this collision.

And as the men and women of the California Highway Patrol will now be making preparations for a final farewell for Officer Liles, may many hear the good news for the first time, and may many receive Your Son into their hearts as their Savior and Lord.
