I often look at your page on this site to read Randy's note to you. He died a year after that post and I know he's with you.
You would be so very proud of Rosemary. She is absolutely a gorgeous, good and caring woman. She has established a foundation in your name. The foundation does great things nationwide to support LEO families who lost a parent. You'd be excited to know that she and Mike are getting married this summer. He is a great guy and he adores her. The RPOC has made her an Honorary Member and she and Mike will be going to the reunion next month. She misses you and Maritza very much.
Continue to watch over her and keep an eye on Randy for me.
