Patrol Officer Edmonds, yesterday marked the 70th anniversary of your tragic death. To lose you so close to Christmas must have been heart wrenching for your wife and five children but you died a hero that they could be proud of. Thank you for your service to the Commonwealth. May God Bless you and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
