But they know with certainty that there will be moments of terror and tragedy. The families of these men and women bear a special burden as Mrs. Luning and her children know today. May they find comfort in the loyalty and friendship of Officer Luning's colleagues, in the respect and gratitude of the citizens of this city, and the knowledge that their husband and father died a hero".
