I was barely three years old when you passed away, and what a scar your death has left on us. Yet my love and admiration for you and how you lived your life have only grown over the years. Our mother took us to your grave on a very regular basis. I sadly know Memorial Park Cemetery very well. Every time I hear of another fallen officer, I mourn for the children left behind. Your grave and a few fleeting memories are all we have left of you. Your absence is felt daily, and your family will never stop missing you.
