The Tustin Police Department in Tustin, California, received an unexpected delivery of flowers this week from Taylor Swift in memory of deceased Sgt. Delber “Del” Pickney.
The large, white, heart-shaped arrangement came with a note: “In Loving Memory of Your Dedication & Service – Taylor Swift.”
Pictures of the flowers along with a message of gratitude for Taylor’s thoughtfulness were posted by Pickney’s 17-year-old daughter: “Thank you @taylorswift13 for recognizing my dad’s service; it was much appreciated.”
Sgt. Pickney, who served with the local police department for 29 years suffered a heart attack while hiking on February 22nd, according to the Orange County Register. He oversaw a wellness program as well as co-founded the department’s softball league. He is survived by his wife and two teenage daughters.
