i remember driving them to emily murphy park that morning... that was where they would start the one kilometer march to the butterdome where the services were held. i can't tell you how in awe i was about what i saw... i don't know how many officers attended that funeral, and i mean rcmp, city police, even firefighters, from all over canada. even from the states. i would doubt if ever there has been so many law officers in one place before. it was so incredibly sad, i was so overwhelmed. my heart ached for the families... and i couldn't get out of my mind the picture of the new widow holding her very pregnant tummy. i still think about her, i wonder how her baby is and how she is. i just don't understand.

god bless all of those who make such risks and sacrifices to keep us safe.
thank you.

Thanx for sharing this Janna. I still am in shock that this terrible tragedy occurred. I do wonder about the pregant wife as well.
