I know from my field work the support I got from the office that helped me excel in my investigative work. I know you provided the "backup" for your brothers and sisters on the beat that kept them and your city safe.<br /><br />Police work is mostly a thankless job, but let me thank you for a job (and a career) well done. You are a special person that gave great service to your fellow citizens, so enjoy your upcoming life.

That way, you can look back on work and feel good about what you accomplished and the people. If you stay too long, the parts you don't like start to dominate your feelings. We will be thinking about you this week.Catherine, Jo Beth and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889362286725037937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784186389518557619.post-26412743902445589412011-07-18T08:24:51.633-04:002011-07-18T08:24:51.633-04:00Mixed emotions indeed!
