View all 66 ReflectionsTwo years has passed since you left us, not a day goes by that I don't think about the days we were windowed up late at night talking about our future and the big things we were going to do in law enforcement. You always had my back and made sure I went home safe to my family. I could not have asked for a better friend and mentor in life. Rest easy buddy and I can' t wait until we meet again!
