View all 30 ReflectionsAnother year has passed. I was so happy to see that Sheriff Brian Gutowski shared your photo and memory on the county Facebook page.
I was teaching today at the college and spent a few moments looking at your photo. I told my 6th academy class all about you. Your small stature, your sense of humor, and how you were like a mother hen to me when we were partners in the early 90s. I stop by your photo often and relive your memory from all those years ago.
Today, I took the back road to work because I was thinking about you on the anniversary date when I lost one of my favorite partners of all time. I think of you often when I travel on Quarterline Road. I stopped for just a few moments near the accident site today. Even though it has been so long, I still remember the day like it was yesterday. I will never forget the day I received the message that we lost you.
You made your mark in my life and in the lives of so many you served. I was happy to call you my partner.
Still missing that smile and that spunk 31 years later.
