Dear Chisholm Family,
I would like to extend my deepest and sincerest condolences to each of you during your time of sorrow. I was blessed with the honor of having crossed paths with your loved one (Maureen) in 1986. Maureen was my Class Supervisor when I attended the Police Academy. She was such a dedicated, knowledgeable and well respected leader. I have so many good memories of Maureen and was happy to have shared a few of them with you at Sundays viewing. You all must be so proud of the many accomplishments your loved one attained . Thank you Maureen for all the inspiration you bestowed upon me personally, but more importantly thank you for all your tireless and devoted service to our community. I am certain your son Dan will continue to serve and protect the residents of Fairport as you did Chief. Thank you Gene for your years of dedicated service as a N.Y. State Trooper also. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace Chief Chisholm.

An absolutely amazing woman who fought an extremely hard battle. I remember you fondly from your early years as a Sheriff’s deputy. You will be sadly missed.
