Im lost in thought. Today marks 11 years that your killer walked a free man. I polished my badge just a little longer this morning and though your killer and I share the same freedom I will never give up the fight!!!! I'
m not his maker nor his judge however I am a reflection of you!!!! The manner in which I perform my law enforcement duties and the content of my character is the torch that will burn in your honor every day until I take my last breath. Thank You for loving and watching over me from above.
