Reflections for Police Officer Christopher Mark Goodell

Our beloved Christopher, It’s been 10 long years since you were taken from us. Ten long years of missed life, love and happiness. The pain never goes away, it just becomes part of waking up every day without you here to enjoy your life with us. Ten long years of feeling the constant ache of missing all the hopes and dreams you should have had. The happiness that you brought to us is just a memory, but a memory we will never forget. You will always be our Hero Marine…Our Hero Police Officer who gave his life protecting others. May you continue to watch over us and protect us from above on this Tenth Year in Heaven. You will never be forgotten, Christopher . Forever in Our Hearts # 38.
Your Loving Family

I had the pleasure of meeting your father yesterday at our Memorial Car Show. We exchanged coins, yours will be displayed proudly in my office at EPD. Your Ford is amazing and deservingly was voted in for a best-in-show award. He told us of your dedication to this country. We are grateful for your service and bravery. Rest in peace until we meet. With honor and respect, we shall never forget.

All that you believed in, all that you accomplished in your life, all the lives you touched and the love you gave shall echo in eternity. Missing you so much Christopher.

Happy 37th. Birthday
in Heaven, Christopher.
The pain will always be there, a constant reminder of a Hero Police Officer, who lost his life in the line of duty. We thank you for your devoted service to this Country as a United States Marine. You loved life and you loved those who were a part of it. We can’t believe that this is your fifth birthday that you
are not here to celebrate with us. Our hearts are forever broken; the emptiness will always remain. We pray that you are dancing
and celebrating with the Angels, on this, your special day.
We will always honor your memory and remember what an incredible
and loving person you were.
We love and miss you so much and you will always be
Forever in our Hearts # 38
Your Loving Family

Thinking of you and your family this week and every week. Wishing peace and strength to all.



Never felt as helpless as standing there on the highway well afterwards and not being able to do a darn thing to be helpful.
