Edit to add that obviously someone being terminally ill isn't "good news" -- perhaps I should have called this group Uplifting or Inspiring News. Sometimes there is inspiring news to be found embedded in tragic situations. Good vibes sent to Ms. Krahn...





From Friends of Madison Mounted Horse Patrol on Facebook: "...after a handshake, "Bubba" offers a kiss hello to his fellow co-worker Sgt. Krahn!"

A recently retired Madison police sergeant received the department’s first Courageous Service Award for her inspiring strength and determination in her struggle with cancer.

Madison Police Chief Noble Wray presented the award Tuesday to

Sgt. Karen Krahn, 54, in a private ceremony at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg, where a horse from the department’s Mounted Patrol and an officer on a motorcycle visited her bedside.

Krahn joined the department on April 24, 1995. Described as a compassionate and proactive officer who quickly earned the respect and admiration of her co-workers, Krahn was promoted to sergeant in 2002.

When I read the words, "private ceremony," I thought for a second that they'd got married, him and the horse!

Oops.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
