I tell my family on a regular basis that we must all die one day. Should I pass before I'm ninety in my sleep, I can only hope my death is in the service of my community. As much as we will all miss are fallen heros, I can think of no more honorable way to die than in defending the safety and freedom of those we have chosen to serve. All who wear a badge readily accepted the possibility of death in the line of duty. Our families and friends did not necessarly agree to bear the burden of our loss, yet they do. With that in mind, Molly, God rest your soul...you have made the Ultimate Sacrafice in the service of the citizens of Columbia. May you rest proud and peacefully.
To Molly's family, friends, and co-workers, honor and remember your fallen hero. The thoughts and prayers of many are with you.
