View all 22 ReflectionsYou joined the agency because of my encouragement and mentorship; you followed my footsteps; I responded to your scene not knowing it was you. I knew your entire family years before you joined the department. It was heartbreaking notifying your mom and sister and then giving the eulogy at the police memorial . May you rest with the angels my brother. I miss you every day. See you soon
