Hello Granddad...

It seems that I have grown to become just like you...a Police Officer! Though I'm military (Airforce), I do plan to join Richland County Police Department when I finish my time in service. I wish that you were here, I know that you would be proud of me. You should be very proud of your daughter granddad, because without her, I don't think that I would have become the woman that I am today. She talks about you alot and how she wishes you were here. She misses you dearly! But I know you are watching over us...you have four beautiful girls granddad, and we all look just like you!

Rest in Peace!
