Beverly Thomas, mother of former Columbia Police Department Officer Molly Thomas-Bowden, places flowers at her daughter's grave Tuesday. A procession of about 30 emergency vehicles followed a brief ceremony on Nifong Blvd., where Thomas-Bowden was wounded during a traffic stop. Thomas-Bowden passed away Feb. 10, 2005 as a result of her injuries. "It's awesome what this city and the people here have done for our daughter, for our family and for the department. There are people who don't have something like this to remember those they lost, and I grieve for them," David Thomas said.
