Like every New Yorker, Miosotis just wanted to do her job, work hard, live without fear, improve her life, and the lives of 86-year-old mother, her two daughters, and her son.
But she also wanted to do something else: She wanted to improve the lives of other families, as well. When she made that decision 12 years ago to become an NYPD cop – a Bronx cop – she epitomized why many people choose to become police officers.
Gennie, Peter, Delilah: I can talk forever about the great things – the fantastic things that police officers do every single day for millions of people – but nothing I can say will bring your mom back. I’m sorry for that.
But I can make you this promise: Your mom didn’t die in vain. Your mom’s legacy will never fade from importance or memory.
