(Well John maybe if all goes okay) there has been talk about putting some type of memorial up for you :) I hope this does take place it would make your family so happy to see that your death protecting your community was at least acknowledged by the citizens that live here. We love and miss you more than words can say. They say time heals and in some ways it does but the pain of you not being here at least for me is just as great today as it was 22 yrs ago. I love and miss you so much even tho I know you are in heaven and a far better place for sure.
love your sister
