Some Gave All.
Family, friends and fellow officers gathered to remember slain Chicago police Officer Aréanah Preston at her funeral Wednesday, praising her commitment to the city and her job, which ended in the ultimate sacrifice. Inside the service at Trinity United Church of Christ, Preston’s mother, Dionne Mhoon, first thanked God for “loaning us this angel.”
“I gave my baby everything I had, and then some. I was determined to invest in her, so in return she could invest in the world. And Aréanah did just that,” Mhoon said. “Death is only a tragic thing if you have not lived. My baby lived. I am because of her. I pray for peace in our homes. I pray for peace in our communities. And I pray for peace in my heart.”
