Special Thanks to Our Police Department:

Chief,
Recently a friend of ours passed away at home in the hamlet. Mike Brace was the officer on the scene and the way he conducted himself was exceptional. The wife was having a difficult time of it and he responded with compassion and kindness. She mentioned when she called me later that morning. Just thought I’d let you know.
Thank you Chief,
John

Dear Officer Perry,
Thanking you for your help on June 6th. My husband of 53 years had a psychotic reaction to medication to the new medication given him by Hospice to relieve pain and agitation.
You did everything right under difficult conditions, you were professional and compassionate.
My husband died at home the following Thursday after an extremely difficult week. He died with peace and dignity.
