Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was a young girl living in the William Penn projects and I waited for her. To tell her that men was touching me while I slept. I never got to tell her. She is missed I talked to her every time she stood in the projects and I'm sure it would have ended if she had known

She was a role model
Known her

I admire her tenacity. She seemed like an individual who would show up if you needed assistance. She put others before her in the line of duty. This attribute is what separates true heroes from the ordinary.

It has been such a long time but you have not been forgotten. You were one of the sweetest people I ever met. You wanted to be a Chester Police Officer the whole time you were at Delco Prison. You wanted to serve the people of Chester. It broke my heart when you were killed in action. You didn't wait for back up you rushed in. You were the bravest of the brave!!

It has been so very long. Yet I still remember you from DCP. You always wanted to be a police officer. It was your dream. It was devastating when you were killed.

I still miss you as I was the first to see you pass. I still have nightmares as my daughter is doing as we did. Please always know. You will be missed and not one day of my life goes by without thinking about you. And now as my daughter is following the family footsteps.
I'm sorry we lost you but please in your power now keep us safe

She had an influence in many kids. I am serious. She was a Karate instructor locally. She had a very calm, supportive demeanor. She was a hero of my childhood. I will forever hold her name in my heart.

I was in law enforcement for 35 yrs(over 1/2 my life) in various aspects. As an armed security guard in 69th St Terminal over a yr, as a Police Officer with the Del. Co. Park Police for over 5 yrs, as a Death Investigator with the Del. Co. Medical Examiner for over 17 yrs., and as a Deputy with the Del. Co. Sheriff's Office for 10 1/2 yes.
In my experience I have worked along side numerous Police Departments & agencies(local, county, state & feds). I have always considered these people my brothers & sisters.
In my 17+ yrs. at the M E's office I had the heart wrenching experience of removing 2 bloodied badges. The badges of 2 heroes, 2 partners, 2 friends gunned down, brutally murdered in cold blood.
The 1st July 1, 1993 a "girl cop" named Hawkins, Officer Connie Hawkins. The 2nd some 8 yrs later a boy cop with a girl's name, Beverly, Cpl Michael Beverly.
I would like to think that they are back on patrol, together in a quieter sector known as heaven under with watchful eyes of God & St Michael, protector of the heavens & patron Saint of law enforcement.
Rest in peace.
