JP, the heat issue is interesting to me. Speaking only from what I was able to observe from the corner of Speedway and Prudence, no one around me seemed to be complaining about the heat. The people were strangers to me. Yet, everyone was quite respectful to one another (one young woman even asked if she had stepped into my shot. She hadn't). Another woman kept checking-in with a nearby Pima County Sheriff's Deputy, asking for updates on the whereabouts of the procession. For some reason, she felt compelled to share those updates with me. That was nice of her. I heard no one speaking of the heat. Everyone seemed focussed on the importance...the significance...of what was about to pass before his or her eyes. Officer Hite's funeral procession was the longest I have ever seen. It seemed to take about a half hour to pass by. But the moment never seemed to drag. Once the procession was over, I realized my head was covered with sweat. I hadn't even been moving around much in the sun. On the hottest day of the year, the whole topic of heat seemed to fall upon the backburner. Thank you Mercy Chanter and thank you JP.

I watched this morning's service on television. It was very moving. I was especially touched by the song Officer Hite would sing to his daughter. His friends and son are very impressive people. Within the next hour, I'll be posting another video here. It'll feature today's funeral procession. Best, Mark Hi Tami,

I had the opportunity to view the memorial service for Officer Hite this morning, and it was very moving. The outpouring of support from the whole community has been such an amazing thing to witness. Although I did not know Officer Hite, I know that his death has touched my life--as I'm sure it has many people in the community. As a side note, I had the opportunity to thank a couple officers from TPD last night, who were visiting the restaurant I work at. They seemed very appreciative and grateful for the support. It's a very fulfilling feeling knowing that people appreciate the support. A kind word in a time of tragedy, as well as in everyday life, goes a long way. I hope this is one of the great lessons we can learn from Officer Hite's tragic death. Thank you again, Mark, for keeping the public informed of this horrible tragedy. Best, Tami Hi Mark,
