Family, friends, and colleagues will say their final goodbyes to fallen Chicago Police Officer Areanah Preston Wednesday.
Officer Preston is being remembered as a rising star dedicated to public safety.
Preston died a week before receiving her master's degree, from Loyola University's School of Law. Her mother accepted her diploma on her daughter's behalf. "This just proves how senseless these crimes are and not just because she was a police officer.... people are waiting for you to come home at night to just rob you and do things of this nature to you," mourner Ernesta Ware said.
