On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Pennsylvania. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. I know it’s little consolation but at least you took that POS with you and he was not able to hurt anyone else.
