Policeman Walsh, we can only hope that the person responsible for your death lived under a cloud for the rest of his/her days knowing that their actions took your life and lived a better life because of that. Though it is apparent the suspect couldn't be bothered to admit their culpability, I just hope they tried to make up for it.

I get the impression from your picture you were a veteran. Thank you for that service.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.
