It's been 7 years, Miss Gracie, and your senseless death stays with me. Your picture still hangs on my office wall. You seemed to be doing everything right, but he still took your life. Today I happen to drive by your old home on Orange Street where I fist met you, and it all came back. I hope your family knows that you did not pass in vain and your passing changed my life. For the last 7 years I have fought to protect others who were in your similar situation. And for her family, please know that in my times of challenge and frustration, Gracie has been there, looking over my shoulder to guide me and keep me going. I only met you briefly, Miss Gracie, but you made a life-long impact on me. I'm so sorry we couldn't save you from him. I truly hope that you are in peace, and I thank you for those times you have helped me to save another woman's life.
Sincerely,
Det. Dixon
