(KNZA)-- A donation has been made to the Brown County Sheriff's Office in honor of fallen deputy Todd Widman.

Sheriff John Merchant said Rachel Shear, of Hiawatha, presented a shadow box Tuesday she made in honor of Widman.

Widman lost his life in the line of duty on March 1, 2000.

Merchant said Shear had visited the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington D.C.

He said she provided an etching of Deputy Widman's memorial along with patches, challenge coins and artwork in the shadowbox she designed.

Merchant thanked Shear for her gift in remembrance of Widman, which he said will be proudly displayed at the Sheriff's Office.
