"Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live."

Ian MacKenzie has pictures of yesterday's funeral for the four RCMP officers who were killed in the tragedy in Mayerthorpe.

I didn't hear the whole service, but I heard Rev. Don Schiemann's eulogy for his son Peter. Powerful. He gave a clear proclamation of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. He found just the right words.

"Const. Peter Schiemann, my son, I carried out your wish this afternoon," he said.

"Peter, we will see you in heaven, but we can hardly wait."

Heartbreaking.
