LAST ROLL CALL
2007
......We
didn't know each other until we were sworn in as Law
Enforcement officers. On that day
we became brothers and sisters in one of life's greatest
fraternities. You became my partner, my
mentor and my guardian, as I was yours. There
were difficult times, rewarding times and times
when we laughed and cried together. And
through it all whenever I needed your help you were
there for me, as I was for you. What
we once thought would be just a career in law enforcement became
a lasting fraternal membership. When
you were taken from us, a part of us went with you. Until
we are assigned together again in another place and time, our
thoughts and prayers will
always be with you.
