So not only was this incident upsetting and sad in it's own right, but now I have a more personal connection to it. A friend's husband was friends with and had worked with several of the officers. I had touched base with my friend over the weekend to see how they were doing. Which wasn't so well at the time, which is to be expected. Then tonight an old Middle and High School friend of mine said that John Hege was her brother. Why I never saw his last name and put 2 and 2 together I don't know. But now I feel a more personal hurt after hearing this news. It's awful. If I can make it work, I am going to try to make it to his memorial service tomorrow evening to pay my respects.

You may possibly see Roy there. Everyday he changes his mind on what he is going to do and where he is going to be on Thursday. Friday he will be escorting the Dunakin family and then escorting the Hege family to his barial. Still having a difficult time putting emotions into words, but I have faith that time will heal things. These things never truly go away, but saying 'good bye' will help.- Monica
