Merry Christmas 2014 7U.. we are thinking about you this year as we read about Officer Ramos' 13 year old son.. so many wonderful officer's have lost their lives this year.. Today we make the trip to your memorial and put up lights and decorate :) and then hopefully on to the State Capitol building to see the Christmas tree for the Fallen Officers.. Son missed you bunches this past week, it broke my heart to see him post about you.. "forever he lays in my heart" you would be so proud of our son.. You are gone but never a day goes by that you aren't remembered by someone.
