Words can not always explain the way some pictures capture a story. On Wednesday, one of the touching and sweetest photos has emerged from the funeral in Manhattan held for deceased NYPD Detective Wilbert Mora.
The heartwarming photo shows two toddlers on wheels paying their respects to slain Officer Mora in midtown Manhattan.
Det. Mora was shot while responding to an emergency call in Harlem last month. His partner, Det. Jason Rivera also died from the same incident.

Mora’s family came to the United States from the Dominican Republican when he was only seven years old. He was laid to rest on Wednesday afternoon in Woodside, Queens.
Det. Jason Rivera’s funeral was held last Friday, on Jan. 28.
On the night of Jan. 21, Rivera, 22, and Mora, 27, were shot while responding to a 911 call.
Both officers were rushed to the hospital where Rivera died on Jan. 22, and Mora died on Jan. 25, according to Harry J. Wedin, NYPD chief of special operations.
An “ocean of blue,” as called by officials, was created outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral by law enforcement officers last week for Rivera’s funeral. They did the same on Wednesday, Feb. 2, for Mora’s funeral as well.
