1) Pelosi: On this Good Friday, considered to be the saddest day of the year for some people of faith, our grief is deepened by the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer William “Billy” Evans.
2) Pelosi: On behalf of the House of Representatives, I have conveyed our prayers and condolences to his mother Janice, with our offer of assistance to her and Officer Evans’ children Logan and Abigail.
3) Pelosi: I have also conveyed the prayers of the Congress with our ongoing promise of help in any way to the family of the other Officer harmed, who exhibited great valor in defending the Capitol.
At a time of such suffering, no words are adequate.

4) Pelosi: May it be a comfort to Officer Evans and his family that America’s flag flies at half-staff in his honor and in honor of the sacrifice of the entire Capitol Police force, and that the President has designated this honor for the White House and all federal buildings.
5) Pelosi: This weekend message was intended to be a joyful recognition of Easter, Passover and Ramadan. May the Good Friday assault on the Capitol intensify the imperative for the spirit of the Holy Season to be a source of renewal for you and your family
