Hello Assistant Chief Horton.......

When I first heard your story, it hurt me, you tried to help one of your own and they took kindness for your heart the wrong way. Sorry sister, you're one of the real ones and it makes me feel good to know that I represent you guys and gals who are up there now.....its just so sad to see one of the good ones gone and I truely think and know you were. Nite sister, we'll carry pick up where you left off at.
P.S.....Ok chief....you make sure we stay in line up there, and keep a eye on us down here , when u have a chance
Sorry..good night
