It's been so long, yet it feels like yesterday. Your dad's funeral was very hard. It took us right back. I hope that your reunion was glorious and that you both are filling the heavenly skies with rambunctious laughter. We need more of that in this world.

Praying for you both now. I cannot believe it's been almost 17 years. Love to you both.

Salutations to this officer and keeper of the law. Blessings to his family and all other current servicemen. I am just a civilian from the rest of the population, we admire and appreciate your works. I am not associated with any law enforcement, nor are any of my family members. I am just a doctor from St-E's hospital, on the other side, we appreciate the work of every police officer, outside and at our emergency department of St-E's youngstown and on the floors when needed there. We feel the loss of Patrolman Hartzell. Blessings.
