Most Recent Reflection
View all 22 ReflectionsPatty was my partner for one or two seasons, in Wildwood, serving as a Seasonal Officer. She was a good cop and had a genuine interest in becoming all she could be. Every time I hear the song "The Warrior" by Patty Smyth, I think of Patty Quinn. I wish things could have been different for her but God had other plans. I think of her often and her tragic loss, and of course, how it effected others. Rest in Peace, you are not forgotten.
