You died before I was born. All my life I have heard of you, your kindness to others, your compassion, and your love for your country, your job, and your fellow officers. Thank you so much for your service; your memory is cherished and honored.
I also grew up hearing the story of two officers who visited my grandparents in Tennessee each year for many years to pay their respects. I do not know their names, but I know that their visits meant a great deal to my grandparents and their surviving children.
WIth my mother and aunt we visited the Cincinatti memorial for fallen officers. They were very grateful that others continue to remember and honor you.
