My condolences to the family and friends of Trooper Christopher Lambert. Losing a loved one is always difficult. Please try to take comfort in Jesus words found at John 5:28,29 where he said that there would be a resurrection. Just think of the time, when you will see your loved ones again, in paradise conditions, here on earth. Once again, my condolences to the family and friends.

Trooper Lambert, our Lord will reward you for your unselfish dedication to your duties, and for sure, He will take care of your loved ones, especially your young child who will grow without knowing her dad. May our Lord immerse you and them in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

So saddened to hear the news.
May you rest in peace after having served those around you. My thoughts are with you, your family, fellow officers and friends.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

A true sad and regrettable tragedy. What happened to the driver who took your life is not mentioned, but regardless, I hope that person walks away with a real lesson and enough guilt to seriously know the damage done to so many people, regardless of the justice that person faces.
Thank you for your selfless service to the people of the State of Illinois and the United States as a whole. God Bless you Brother and may your eternal rest be forever peaceful.
Those you leave behind are in all of our prayers.
