Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My beloved brother....I am here in Washington DC doing a 25 mile walk in your honor and every step of the way you are in my thoughts. You endured 37 years of being in a wheelchair with a catastrophic brain injury yet you forged ahead and transcended your adversity with honor and courage. You taught me everything I know in life Jimmy. It was the greatest honor and privilege to have singlehandedly cared for those 37 years following your injury on duty and I miss you more and more as each day passes. Please send me a sign that you are still with me...it feels so empty inside and I am still trying to figure out what my life looks like without you in it.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
