On October 7, 2013, the struggle through parole hearings came to an end after 15 years. Our struggle for justice had really been ongoing for 38 years, 8 months and 18 days. Ron’s murderer passed to his just rewards for the lives he took and the destruction he left. Ron’s family and I may now find some peace in knowing we have done all that we could do under the circumstances that were laid before us. Ron’s loss can never be answered for; a young life snuffed out far too soon, but the legacy he left through his story, our memories, the Park, The Ron Parker Scholarship will be built on and there-in lies our hope for the future.

A Police Woman's Prayer
Oh lord, I am a woman, not a man,
I am a Mother not a Dad,
I am a wife with responsibilities that men have never had,
I need understanding from all my peers,
that I am not here to take away a man's job,
I am doing it because I care.
I took the job to enforce the law,
to do my part in the fight to have justice FOR ALL.
To be professional, to make a career, Great Lord,
help me when they say I should not be here.
I work the long hours, face all the dangers
and do the same things that they do
in law enforcement matters,
Grant me the respect like the others, for I am one.
Set aside for every other one, Lord,
being a policewoman is the most challenging job I have ever done,
be with me on my daily run, as you are with us all,
I thank you for the ability to enforce the law.
