Thank you, Ofc. Mazzie.
I wasn't a policeman, even a thought to my parents... well, they're alive now. Apparently they were born several years after your untimely passing... and now, much to their chagrin, I'm a police officer, myself.
Thank you for your service. According to the Courier-Journal, your wife and kids survive you.
And from a Brother in Blue, thank you.
