Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Patrolman Evan Donald Burns

Evan, I miss you every second brother. I have gone through many phases of reflection of you and our lives together. The pain will never go away and I will especially miss those nights we used to talk on night shifts when nothing was going on, or when one of us just got a big bust or a foot pursuit. I can't stop thinking about how unfair life seems these days. I will honor you by taking care of your one year old son, my nephew and teaching him all about you. You will always be in my thoughts, and I will do you proud. I love you always, your brother.
