I still remember the day I did not get up early to help you get ready for work. I still remember the voice from the next room waking me thinking it was my grandmother coming to visit. But it was one of your fellow officers wifes getting mom ready for the news. Your wife and your 4 children still miss you. And I have a two boys and a beautiful little girl that I know you would love.
