Most Recent Reflection
View all 8 ReflectionsI am so pleased to see that you are being honored for your sacrifice for your community. You left behind a wife, two children and an unborn child. That unborn child was my mother and she regretted that she never had the opportunity to know you. You would be proud to know that your oldest grandson served as a law enforcement officer for over 25 years. Rest in Peace.
