View all 157 ReflectionsIt's a small world, I met your son Justin Singleton while working a shift together, he was a part of my hiring process and was in my first interview with the agency. Who would have thought we would share the same story. I think the world of him and hope to be at least half the Deputy he is. I know you are proud of your son and he continues to honor your legacy every day.
