A sad day...

Today we did not do very much at the village, Cindy and I did not have a class scheduled so her and I did a little preperation for police day, and I think I confirmed a few classes for next weeks visits to the village. It was a very sad day. I noticed that the flags were at half mast today by the police station near my house and at the village. Then it hit me she was gone. Jennifer was a Staff Seargeant at Halton Regional Police. Over the last year she had developed cancer which had spread through her entire body . Sadly there was nothing the doctors could do, so she was given a time frame. She had told the other officers she was going to pass. This was a hard thing for everyone to deal with, she was such a great individual. Jennifer would always come to work regardless of the pain , all her life all she ever wanted to do was become a police officer and all she wanted to do was spend her last days doing what she loved most, her career and being with her family. I came into my co op today and I have never seen police officers and Cindy cry and I wish I could do someting but all you can do is reassure them everything will be ok. I decided to talk about her in my blog because she meant alot to everyone , I hope you do not mind Mr. Grace, I just wanted to pay my respect towards this remarkable and courageous lady. For her I will live out my police career, she did not get to fufill all her time but I assure everyone I will live out her dream for her.
