Most Recent Reflection
View all 21 ReflectionsI express my appreciation and give honor to my cousin Office Dennis Holmes an unsung hero of Law Enforcement. I will never forget our great times at Finger Lakes Community College at Canandaigua together in Law Enforcement, the hallarious duck hunting trips, family get togetherness and how we trashed the apartment when you got married. I truly was down when you went to Houston because I hoped we would be officers together in NY. But God had a better road for you to follow. You were a blessing there and enriched my officer’s lives in Houston. I will always greatly miss you until we meet again in Heaven. Brothers in blue
