Officer Simpson,

Where do I begin? Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. As your supervisor, I still catch myself looking for you to come into work. I adjust my radio volume wondering why you haven't called me on the radio while I'm on shift. You were a hard-charger. You are greatly missed and there is a void on our shift. It hurts down to the core. If tears could have saved you, you would have lived forever.

"Bye LeAnn, love you!"
