I am the founder of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called Blue_Wives_Matter and we offer support to the families of fallen officers, regardless of cause of death. I came to know your loving widow and 2 sweet sons when we were able to offer them much needed support back in 2018. I am happy to say that your family is doing well. We send your sons law enforcement patches every month as a reminder that neither you nor they have been forgotten and they just love when they get their special packages in the mail from Blue_Wives_Matter.
Thank you for the remarkable sacrifice you made back on that fateful day. I wish it didn't have to happen and you could be here yourself to watch your children grow up. Rest assured that along with you watching over them from Heaven above we here will be watching over them as well. You will never be forgotten and neither will your beautiful family.
