Kermit- I knew you were an officer in the area from your stories about your dog but I didn't connect.I am glad the funeral offered you some peace and the community is showing not everyone hates cops. There is some humanity in the world. I pray your force will continue to heal.

On an aside - Mimi we were visiting your fair town right after the first officer was murdered last year. We were walking to the space needle when the procession came by. We stopped to pray and then saw construction workers stop, remove their hard hats for the procession. It was tragic and beautiful to see respect when it felt like it had been lost. A profound memory I would rather not have.
