On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice of the citizens of Deptford. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. I know it’s little consolation but at least you took that POS with you so he won’t be taking up space anywhere.
