Officer Down Memorial Page

Peter,

You have been absent from the family a long time now, but believe me cousin, you are still live in my heart.

A few days ago in the sleepy borough of Freemansburg where I grew up, another young officer lost his life. As always, you are my first thought when an officer is mortally wounded.

Remembrance.

I remembered all the visions I had of an impending sadness. All those days before you left, filled with tears and no understanding of why. I saw you leaving but God did not tell me whom he had chosen to be by his side. I re-lived the moment of learning you were gone.

I miss you today more than ever because the young officer was much like you. Gentle. Sweet. Man with a ready smile that came naturally.

His family is now beginning the journey that Mae and little Edward had to travel those many moons ago. My heart now aches for them and feels heavy because
remembering is bittersweet.

Love you Peter Rabbit,

Charlene
