My Night in Shining Armor Jim
Thank you for coming into my life and giving me the gift of your loving Choquette family, amazing support of your LAPD family, and your most wonderful gift, our beautiful daughters Kimberly and Beth. Every day I am with them I get to see you. In Beth's eyes I see your eyes, Kimmy's humor and way with words I hear your voice, their love of their sons, you amazing grandsons. allows me a glimpse back to your parenting of our daughters. I see your personality in your nephew Tony, the face of you as a child in your great-nephew Elijia, your love of sports and competition in our oldest grandson Noah, your teasing and silliness comes out in our middle grandson Wyatt who is working on being taller then you. And in little Austin comes your love of life, and loving tenderness. We all talk about you a lot. They all know how much they were loved and how much you would love them. They all know what a terrific athlete your were. And everyone is proud of the fact that you will always be know as one of the finest of the finest that LAPD will ever have.
