View all 148 ReflectionsIts been already 5yrs since you’re gone, and I still remember every single detail ever since. Thanks for being such a wonderful woman, my best police officer ever, you were such a dedicated person to your job, family, friends and everything around you. The loudest person in the world, I still can hear your voice and laugh inside my head like it all happened yesterday. I’m so grateful and proud to have you for 22yrs as my sister, with our ups and downs but thats part of a siblings relationship. If life would give me only one chance to go back and choose someone to meet with, I wouldn’t have any doubt on choosing you.
