Boden and Dawson in “Unfinished Business”

I have a love-hate relationship with these ceremonies. Each one is a reminder that we've lost a member of our family. Leslie Shay was a great paramedic. There are no words that can fill the hole that she left. The woman who rode alongside her from her first day to her last, Gabriela Dawson, would like to say some words.

A lot's changed at 51 since losing Shay. We've welcomed in new friends, we got a new rig and, uh and a dream of mine came true. But here's what hasn't changed: this house, this family. It's all as strong as it ever was stronger even, because I think, um I think that deep down in the quiet moments we think to ourselves: Shay would want us to be better. She'd want us to lean on each other. And she'd want us to represent her, every time we go out.
