  2. This has deeply saddened my husband and myself. We met Officer Singleton a few years ago and both of us were impressed with his knowledge, friendliness, and the love he showed for this community. After meeting Jerry, every time we encountered him, he remembered us! Jerry always shook my husbands hand and asked how things were with us. He was truly a friendly man and he will surely be missed.

    Rest in peace Jerry, for you are now home, in Heaven. Prayers will continue for his family, friends, collegues, and community members.

  4. I made an error in my comment. I said we met Jerry a few years ago, but it should have said months ago. Please accept my apology for my error. I am so sorry.
