Officer Chesna, I've never met you, but over the years I've known a number of Officers from the Weymouth PD and at least one terrific dispatcher. It's a fine department made up of dedicated, hard working and good people. To lose one of you is to lose a part of ourselves. You were taken in a tragic and insane manner. Though your killer has been caught, it does not bring you back. I only hope and pray he can never take another life.

Rest in Peace, Brother and God Bless.

I also extend prayers for the yet unnamed innocent woman who was killed today. Weymouth lost two good people today.
