I’m a sister-in-blue from Los Angeles. On a visit to BPD on Sudbury Street, I looked up and saw the posted memorial street sign in your honor. I took a picture. I came across the nearby garden dedicated to Homicide victims. I sat and researched your story. You are clearly loved by those you left behind and you are still remembered, even by those you never knew. RIP.
