S. I. Drake, Lt/IPD-IMPD (Ret) says
On behalf of the Société de Police – IPD Adam & Edward, our condolences to the family and friends of Nelse Humphrey Jr., on learning of his death.
At this time of sorrow we offer the following thought that was written for such moments: Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It’s like an amputation. One can feel a limb is being torn off, without which one shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done… life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid and fuller than before.
