BRIDGETON, NJ (CBS) – Students from across Cumberland County, New Jersey, and their coaches wore pink T-shirts for breast cancer awareness and kicked off their 10-week golf program called Mentor on the Green in Bridgeton on Wednesday evening.
One of their coaches, Sgt. Monica Mosley should have been standing next to them, but… she was murdered after police say she was shot during a home invasion in Bridgeton last week.
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 to closure. It will never be the same again. It is a huge loss for our family and we will never get over it, but we have to keep going because that is what she would want us to do,” Marion Kennedy Jr. said.
Those who knew Mosley shared what they liked most about her. They said she had a big heart and was the life of the party.
“There was never a time when she was around that everyone wouldn’t have fun,” Kennedy said. “She brought joy. She brought us constant clarity.”
Mosley’s daughter also spoke, saying she will fill her mother’s shoes during the program.
“She’s going to dedicate her life to this program for the benefit of her mother, who should have been here,” said James Cooper of Mentor on the Green.
Mosley loved giving back to the children, which is at the heart of the Mentor on the Green program. The coaches say the program teaches the kids about life.
Every week they hope to inspire the children and show them the endless possibilities.
