    Sorry for your loss. I know we were related by “LA Famiglia” but I also know my father though a lot about you and often said you were going to make it to the top. I’m sure he is waiting up there to see you and reminis about the good times on the force “catching” the bad guys.
    MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
