The wife of a fallen NYPD officer who was fatally shot in Harlem one year ago announced during a memorial mass that she is pregnant with their “miracle” baby.
"Although I can understand that for most of you life went on, it feels like time has stopped for me. ... I have thought about all of the plans we made, what our lives would be like now that we are married. Thinking about the day we'd be able to make dinner for each other or wait on each other to see who comes home first. Taking yearly vacations and soaking up all the love that newlyweds feel," she said.
"The pain became so unbearable that in order to cope I started to tell myself that we had separated. This was easier to accept than to acknowledge his death." The bilingual mass included tributes from both families as Mora's sister, Karina, read a message in Spanish saying her brother had a beautiful heart and that the loss had been difficult but made easier with the department's support.
Elected officials such as Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell were also present. "We carry the legacies of Jason and Wilbert. We muscle forward with heavy hearts with invisible lockets holding their memories, a year's worth of tears and an immersable amount of sorrow," Sewell said.
