My wife, daughter, and I have a special candle that is lit in our Boston home tonight in your honor. You are not forgotten and this will always be a tremendous loss for our city and nation. We love Boston and it is the brave Officers of the BPD that make our city great! We will be thinking of you tomorrow when we attend St. Brigid Parish tomorrow for our usual Sunday mass at 10:30AM. God Bless America and God Bless this warrior in blue!
