“Good Afternoon Ms. Barone,
My name is Lacey Lierly and I am a Probation and Parole Officer for the state of Missouri. I recently received a check from the Correctional Peace Officer Foundation after District Administrator Drummond submitted my family’s story to the foundation. I wanted to send an informal THANK YOU to the foundation for the generous donation to our family after the loss of our infant daughter, Ava. My family and I have decided to put the money toward Ava’s final resting place and to also make a monetary donation to charity in Ava’s memory.

My husband Jesse, our four year old daughter Olivia and I want to express our sincere gratitude to all involved in donating to our family. We are blessed to have so many wonderful people who have kept us in their thoughts and prayers and provided support during this difficult period.

I have signed the release form as requested, which Meckenzie Hayes will be forwarding on to you in the near future. I hope I have the opportunity to show my support to the foundation in the future when life settles down and returns to a new version of normal for us.

Sincerely,
Lacey Lierly”
