The heart and soul of heroes and heroines are never lost. God knows where they are at every second. Every beating moment. Your dignity and integrity were humbly and honorably laid to rest over forty years ago at Dade Memorial Park North in North Miami, Florida among other heroes who too gave their spirit of uniqueness and the quality of quintessential peace and safety. The mind can play tricks but, when you patrolled faithfully around Dade County every ounce of energy, every gram of gallantry was injected into your veins to rid our world of this very wickedness. Saluted fondly and never forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
