Hammond Family Receives Memorial Quilt from National Group

The Michigan Department of Corrections recently received a tremendous gift to forward to the family of slain Corrections Officer Clarence Tariq Hammond III of Macomb Correctional Facility. In a letter to the family, Judy offered her prayers and support to the family and the Department.

Judy Lauria, of the Law Enforcement Memorial Project based in Rapid River, Michigan, created a memorial quilt for the Hammond Family. She has been creating these commemorative quilts for many years to recognize fallen officers and she wanted to ensure that the Hammond family had a lasting and tangible memory of Officer Hammond. He will be missed.
