Dad
Today we laid to rest my childhood friend Sergeant Marlene Rittmanic also from your department. Bradley PD.
While mourning the loss of my friend, another hero, I couldn’t help but think of you. My heart was broken for her family as I know far too well exactly what they were going through today. You are greatly missed and will never be forgotten. Rest easy 532 and 514
