View all 9 ReflectionsI never met you but my Dad, your brother, told me about you. I’m your namesake (middle name is Carol). My mom and Dad, John and Mary Katherine Elder named me after you. I was born 9 months after you were killed. The world has turned on the police. It has made me think about you. I honor you for your service as well as all police, past and present. RIP.
