MOUNT JULIET, TN (WSMV) - Mount Juliet Police officers helped a woman see her dying husband when she couldn’t travel to the hospice care center in Nashville.
The woman called police to ask for help after being called and told that her husband or many years was fighting his last battle with cancer and wasn’t going to survive much longer. She wanted to hold his hand one last time.
“Mount Juliet Police didn’t hesitate. We sent an officer to pick her up and assist,” Mount Juliet Police Capt. Tyler Chandler said in a social media post. “She was with her husband for a few hours, said her goodbye, and the officer transported her back home alone.”

Police have also assisted recently with a parade to encourage a resident who is battling cancer and regularly helps stranded motorists.
We were honored to assist in a parade to encourage June, who is battling cancer. Her fellow sisters from the Delta Sigma Theta sorority provided much love to her this afternoon as they drove by and dropped-off gifts in expression of their support.
