Thank you Officer Abney for your service and for making the ultimate sacrifice. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I have a son who is your age and a police officer. You had so many plans to start the rest of your life. Gone too soon - never ever forgotten. The photos I have seen of you - your smile lights up your whole face.
