After that, Rosalyn explained to his mother that “it’s all about love”, and added: “We need to love our officers.”
The mother supported the idea of his daughter and despite the fact that the journey will be long, Angie thinks it’s worth it. At first she suggested just to send postcards with words of gratitude, but soon rosaleen was able to convince her of the importance of their mission.
“God told me to go on this little adventure and hug police officers for all that they did for us. Indeed, sometimes they even risk their lives,” said Rosalyn.
At that time, as a girl travels with her mother, her father, pastor, and brothers and sisters, three of whom stayed home in Hammond.
