Special Agent Alfin,

I'm sure there are many thinking of you on this fifth anniversary of your death, just as I am. Your wife and son must think of you daily. To them, today is no different than any other, with the exception that it is an anniversary. I'm sure to them, you are not far from their thoughts daily. I hope you are still resting peacefully. I will pray for your wife, your son and the rest of your family, friends, loved ones and colleagues.

Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13
