I live in Texas,but am the mother of a LAPD officer,and LAPD Centurion—Jamal Dawoudi.
My son has spoken often Officer Simmons,and was grieved at his tragic passing. He looked to him as a role model,and is proud that the team is dedicating this season to him,and your family.
My heart goes out to you and your family. You remain in my thoughts and in my prayers.
I LOVE YOU all so much and I am so sorry to hear about your father,husband, and friend. I wish I had the opportunity to have met him, but I know I will have that chance to meet him through you all. I do know what you are going through, becausse I lost my father at a very young age. So just Keep ya head up and live for each other and stick together. Oneday we will see each other again, ILOVE YOU
