A rendition of the spiritual Amazing Grace opened the sombre service for the junior constable, who was described as well-loved. Choking back tears, Const Lay's father Clem described her as his 'first-born flower' who brought passion and lit up a room. 'My heart is completely shattered, the pain of losing her is devastating, a sudden blinding darkness has settled over me, her brothers and her sister,' he said. 'We are a family broken by her sudden absence.' He wiped away tears as he praised her 'grit and bravery' in her young policing career.'You were taken from us far too soon,' Mr Lay said. 'I'd give anything to hold you one more time ... our hearts are broken.' NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon paid tribute to the 'impressive, resilient and kind-hearted woman' and said she was well-loved by colleagues. 'She has left an enduring legacy which we honour here today,' he said. 'She demonstrated exceptional promise, embracing policing with enthusiasm and earned the respect of those around her.' He listed a series of impressive achievements in her short law enforcement career, including arresting a man brandishing a rifle. The commissioner announced Const Lay had been posthumously awarded the National Police Service Medal and the NSW Police Force Medal for Ethical and Diligence Service. 'You will not be forgotten,' Mr Lanyon said. More at link in bio 🔗 #australia #fyp #police #funeral #sad
