Police Commissioner O'Neill's Eulogy for Detective Miosotis Familia

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.
