Tara, We Hardly Knew Ye | Honoring a Hero

We suppose that your day began like many others. It would become a day that ended with the dreaded radio call “officer down.”

Tara O’Sullivan, today a community is in mourning for you – for your ultimate sacrifice.

We’re at a loss for words. Some of us will say a prayer. Others observe a moment of silence.

Some will think how much we take for granted those who protect us each day. Those whose loss we mourn. Those whose work we honor.

We will grieve for you – for your family. We think of you.

Your youth. Your energy. Your commitment. Your brief life.

Tara, we hardly knew ye.
