I did not know you Sheryl but I know of you thanks to another officer who has kept the faith and your memory. I pray for all those who make up the "Thin Blue Line" both past and present but my tears and gratitude are with you Sheryl and all LEO's on eternal patrol. Thank You for your service Sheryl.
