Reflections for Sheriff Walter A. Davis
Rest in peace always knowing that no passage of time will ever erase your service and sacrifice.

Sheriff Walter A. Davis was my great-grandfather who of course I never met because he was killed in the line of duty when my grand-mother was 8 years old. To add to my grandmother's tragic childhood, her mother passed away only 6 months before her father. She lived her life with a lot of pain, anger and sadness due to becoming an orphan at such a young age. These emotions in turn were passed on unknowingly to my mother. I share those emotions with all of the families of these officers who are unfortunately listed alongside my great-grandfather.
