Fog Blog Fredericton Police Funeral Log:

THE CAPTION SAYS IT ALL......HEROES FOR A NATION!.......Steven Burns and his three sons wore yellow ties and placed four yellow roses onto one of the caskets belonging to Fredericton police Constables Robb Costello and Sara Burns — it was his wife's favourite colour and one of the many quirks he mentioned in his final goodbye to her."Sara has always been my hero and my angel," he said during his eulogy at the regimental funeral Saturday in the New Brunswick capital. "But now she is a hero and an angel for a community, a province and a nation."Community members line up to pay respects to fallen Fredericton officers 'We need to do it right': Thousands expected at funeral for fallen Fredericton officers Healing together: How Fredericton copes in aftermath of shootings

Just over a week after they were killed in the line of duty along with two civilians, Burns and Costello were honoured before more than 1,000 family members, friends, first responders and dignitaries from across Canada, in a service filled with personal stories of love and dedication to their jobs. The 90-minute service, in the Aitken University Centre arena, was also live streamed at two public locations — the Grant Harvey Centre at 600 Knowledge Park Dr. and Hope City Church, formerly known as Sunset Church — following an hour-long street procession.
