Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A beautiful park and area whose tranquility has been temporarily shattered. We mourn the loss of a hero and pray for the family and friends/co-workers left behind. God bless Ranger Anderson's husband, a fellow ranger and father left behind to raise 2 children after this cowardly tragedy. Rest in peace Ranger, we have the watch. You will not be forgotten.

Mount Rainier National Park is one of my favorite places in the world. I am so thankful for the law enforcement officers in the park and outside the park who do everything they can to protect us. Ranger Anderson is a hero as well as all the members of her family who shared her with us.

On behalf of all Troopers in Tennessee May God hold you tightly in his loving embrace until once again you can be reunited with your Husband and children. Why the world destroys the ones that just simply are doing their job by helping protect others. My respects always Ranger.

I feel for her poor family, esp her husband being at work at the same time. I hope they can rest in the knowledge that she is a hero. What could have happened if he got through? Maybe she saved other lives by sacrificing her own. Bless all who knew her.
