Another year has passed my friend, the loss remains deep. The impact caused by those responsible for your death affected far many more than any one could have imagined. I'm unaware if Mac Holland and his cohorts have come up for parole or not but I am in hopes that the life of a fallen police officer still counts far more than the hope of such men being reformed and deserving to be allowed to walk free among society. You have always meant a great deal to me and will forever be honored wherever I may go or whatever I do. May the Lord Bless you and your family in the years to come.
