He will wipe every tear away from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. Rev 21:4.

Dear Vicky,
I can't get the voices on the radio the other day out of my head. While only a few miles away, I felt I was light years away. I felt helpless; the officer that was not around to back a fellow officer. I wish I was, that we all were there to back you at that moment. You were that officer though; you were backing your brother. When faced with uneven odds, you risked your life above and beyond the call of duty. As you watched over your fellow officers in life, it calms me to know that you will be watching over us from above. My prayers are with your family. You are truly an inspiration for all of us. As we pick up where you courageously departed us, I hope we do you, your husband and children proud. Rest well, you are a hero to us all.

Vicky,

You are sorely missed. There are no words that can explain the amount of sadness that has overcome all of us or explain the amount of grief that we are experiencing. You know that we will all be looking after Tyler and the kids. We are a family and will do anything to help take care of them. You are a hero and will always be remembered that way. You most certainly will never be forgotten.

They say that it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire lifetime to forget them....

Although I did not know Detective Armel personally, in reading the reflections from those who did, I realize that members of this community, the Fairfax County Police Department, and her immediate family were blessed to have had her in their lives.

I am a true believer that those who leave this earth, are not really gone ~ they just change. Vicky will live forever in your memories; and her husband will see her everyday in the eyes their children.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who loved her.

Sincerely,
Vanessa L. King
