Today is 9/11/2020. A day of Remembrance. It is not the day of your birth, or your death. But a day to remember someone who served with my brother, James P Boyd Jr, (Jimmy to me) who died as Joel did, serving and protecting. I pray you are together in a different world. Serving. Caring. Loving. And that Tony, too, is with his police force brothers. Rest In Peace.

Sister of James P. Boyd Jr.
