Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Mr. & Mrs. Christensen, My family and I were in Rocky Mountain National Park the week Jeff was missing. When I got home I followed the story every day and prayed for his safe return. I guess in a way he did have a safe return, to his Fathers house. I prayed that his suffering would have redemtive healing for humanity and did Christs' suffering. As it turned out, God took him quickly and that is truly a blessing. Now you have the opportunity to offer your suffering up for the salvation of a suffering humanity. As I prayed for Jeff and thought about you and your husband gracely, patiently waiting and hoping I planned on send you information on Divine Mercy. You probably are aware of the devotion and the promise of the outpouring of grace and mercy. www.divinemercy.com - I have a brother in heaven, Michael, Jeff and he have probably already met. Our last family vacation with Michael was spent in Colorado and the memories I hold in my heart are immeasureable. May the peace of Christ be with both of you. In Christ, Karen in Kingwood

My heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers of Ranger Christensen. I know firsthand what it feels like to lose a child--my son, L/Cpl Jonathan Parker, SCHP, was killed in the line of duty on May 16, 2005--he was only 29. My prayers are with you.

My sincere sympathy goes to the family of Jeff Christensen. From those of us who are Rangers and who will always be Rangers, it is difficult to say goodbye to our fellow officers, but we take pride in knowing that we loved our jobs and it was obvious that Jeff loved being a Ranger. May he rest in Peace and my his family know that he was happy during his short time with us.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to This Officer, as well as the Family, Friends, Department and Community.

This is a loss that will never be forgotten. Hours will turn into days, days turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years but, the difference that these officers have made will last forever.

We lost Our Deputy Morris Taylor on September 14, 2002. When he joined the other Angels in Blue.

God Bless Our Law Enforcement Officers and Those Who Love Them.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
