First of all I want to thank you for your service. I am a student at the academy and to honor you and your family we have to learn about a DPD fallen officer. I was given your name. I couldn’t help but feel compelled to leave a reflection after reading all the other reflections. I continued to tear up throughout reading them because I have a young family as well. It is very hard to describe the heartfelt feelings of leaving them. Though, I do find comfort in knowing that your children love you very much and they have never forgotten about you. Present and future officers will continue to honor you.
Again thank you for your service and you will never be forgotten.

Romans 14:8-9 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
