I'm sorry for the family's loss. My prayers are truly with them all. But we never really lose anything if we know where it is. I was so excited to know that Christian was not only Buddy's last name but also his life. So I guess I'm little jealous to know he has went home to meet his God and his rewards and the rest of us are here waiting and working until God calls us 10-42.

A true hero! Responding to assist a fellow brother in need and giving his life for the safety of others. RIP brother! You are a hero we all on the job look up to. I'm also praying for the officer who was shot and survived. My God heal you so you may continue the fight!

Ask God for help daily. I know first hand that you will need it because my Son was killed in the line of duty 3 years ago.
There is a great fraternity in their New Lives in the Beyond and I know there is great happiness. We here, have to live with that thought and keep asking God for help to get thru each day.
