Honoring
Trooper Nick Hopkins
We have witnessed great acts of kindness and love over the past week. We have seen blessings from friends, family and strangers who just care. Many of us knew Nick Hopkins or one of his family members and our hearts have ached for them and with them. Now we will be here to help them live their lives to the fullest and share memories of Nick and all that he was with his children as they grow up. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
We would like to share the collections and different fundraisers that are continuing to benefit the Hopkins family or another police charity organization. If you are aware of something and would like to share it with us we will include it in this list. Please e-mail Kellyllerch@gmail.com.
