I deal with officers from all over the country and I sometimes get their counties confused. I knew Harris County sounded familiar to me... and this morning, I found out why.

This man worked with m*m.

I'm sorry, Matt. I know you can't be here to support his family and your brothers and sisters in this... and I know this will hurt you a great deal. I pray for you anyway, but I'll put in an extra word to help you through.
