You and I were bonded for life, backed each other up on every call, you were always so protective of your sister in blue. That night you left from backing me up to respond to that call. I can still hear your 1023. I think of you always and miss you even more. Continue to rest my forever friend and brother. ( former) Officer C. Childs.
