Almost 36 year's you have been gone from here but not one day has passed that I have not thought about you. I miss you everyday you would be so proud of me. I walk and talk just like you. The last post I wrote I was just a rookie, but now it has been 17yrs and I am now a Corporal with the Jackson Police Department. We miss you so much but you will always live in my heart and through me you were such a good uncle and cousin. Rest on my uncle and my brother in blue. You served your country and your city well rest on.
