Police Officer Ronald Tarentino, Jr.

My Big Brother,
It's been two and a half years since I've seen your smiling face and heard your one-of-a-kind laugh. Two and a half years since you were cruelly taken from us. It still feels like yesterday and I know it always will. I miss you more and more every single day, I have such a difficult time grasping the fact that you're really gone, it still doesn't feel real.
Your co-workers have been nothing short of incredible to us all since we lost you. They became our family instantly, over night, and we would be lost without them. Being apart of the family in Blue is truly special and there is nothing in the world like it. They have had our backs, been there to provide a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, lifted us up and comforted us through every little thing. Their support is unwavering, to this day. I know they will be there for us for life. They are our true family, and we will forever be grateful for all they have done for us and to keep your memory alive. I always look forward to seeing them, because every time I do, I feel a little closer to you, like your there with me. They always have a new story to tell me and something you did to make them laugh, which makes me laugh. I know they love and miss you as much as we do.
I vow to you, that so long as I live and breathe, I will do everything in my power to ensure that you will never be forgotten. I vow to keep your spirit and memory alive and well in all that I do in life. I vow to do everything I can to help create a safer environment for our Police Officers, so that what happened to you won't happen again.
I miss you so incredibly much, you took half of me with you when you left, but everything I do, I do for you. I love you so much.
My Brother, My Hero.
HEROES LIVE FOREVER
All my Love,

Caitlin
