I wanted to say thank you! Thank you to all my friends, both on line and off, who have sent condolences, flowers and donations to the trust fund for my niece and nephew. Your outpouring of sympathy has meant a lot to me and my family. Thank you Laurell and Jon, for all you did this week. Thank you for standing with me. Offering me a hand or a hug when I needed it most. Thank you Pili and Carri for dinner and your friendship. Thank you Bill and Jet for hand holding. Thank you to all the folks I knew so long ago who made time to come by and remind me of childhood stories. Some of which I would like to forget!
A special thanks to the entire St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and all the officers from all the departments everywhere who came out. Their unending and tireless acts during this difficult time made it more bearable. From turning out enmasse at the funeral home, sharing their memories of Rob with us, giving us moments to laugh at some antic they remembered, kind words that were meant with heart, sharing our tears, standing honor guard, to the less obvious things, like cleaning off the sidewalk before the family got there. We noticed those little things, as well as the larger ones. Our gratitude to you all!
When they say that an officer is a brother or sister in blue. They truly mean it and demonstrate it. So I offer this wish to them all on behalf of Rob and us all. May you have a long and safe career. May you have a long and glorious retirement. Don’t forget to enjoy the moments of your life. Rob did. And we will remember not only him, but also you in our prayers. Thank you.
