Thinking of Deputy Deese. In this world where police are killing unarmed individuals, here was a man who genuinely cared about people. Wonderful Wonderful person. Here was a man who you were proud to know, who made a real difference in the lives of others. Here was a man who wore his badge proudly and upheld the law with unsurmountable grace & dignity. I'll never forget the care he provided when my daughter became ill. He for sure is one of Gods Angel's. God Bless his daughter and Family.
