Ms.Lenear,

It seems like I've cried a million tears over you, and yet they continue to flow. I'm going to miss your wild comments, your cute laugh, your funny looks and your beautiful presence. I will smile every time I hear the word DA or bustee used by a rookie, knowing that your spunky spirit lives on....and I will honor you every morning at 9:30 knowing that somewhere in heaven, you're taking your break!

Thank you for the love and laughter you've given me over the past 9 years.

And God bless your family.

To Mrs. Lenears family, I can't imagine what you all are going through, but I do know the sadness that I am feeling at this time. I still can't believe that i will not be talking to her, parking next to her , or seeing her face in briefing anymore. Mrs. Lenear was a great person that I can truely say was a friend. Mrs. Lenear, you will be missed.
