10 years 2 months ago
A written tribute from the wife of Baton Rouge Police Officer Matthew Gerald was handed out Friday before his funeral, saying his memory "will continue to bridge the gap and foster peace in the country he lived, loved and died for." Dechia Gerald, now a widow of two young girls, called him "my blue-eyed rock" and said "the only thing stronger than his love for the red, white and blue was his love for us." Among the hundreds of mourners were Sheriff's Capt. Tom Cox from Knox County, Tennessee, who said he also traveled to Dallas to attend all the funerals of the five officers killed by a sniper there.
