We all had lunch together & I enjoyed meeting you and thought you were very kind and friendly!! Later, that evening, you both were killed, and it will forever sadden my soul that two such incredible officers and kind, caring men, were taken from us, in their prime!! I will forever remember the both of you as caring, brave and incredibly dedicated men and law enforcement officers! Rest in Peace! Your families will forever, be in my prayers!! Connie Marsh
