BRIDGETON, N.J. (CBS) — Students from throughout Cumberland County, New Jersey, and their coaches wore pink T-shirts for breast cancer awareness and kickstarted their 10-week golf program called Mentor on the Green in Bridgeton Wednesday night.
One of their coaches, Sgt. Monica Mosley, was supposed to be standing right next to them, but she was killed after police say she was shot in a home invasion last week in Bridgeton.
She worked as a detective for the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s office.
Mosley’s cousin, who was like a brother to her, says the family is sticking together.
“We just want closure . It’s never going to be the same. It’s a huge loss to our family and we will never get over it, but we have to keep going because that’s what she would want us to do,” Marion Kennedy Jr. said.
Those who knew Mosley shared what they loved most about her. They said she had a big heart and was the life of the party.
