It is truly difficult to find any words that could adequately comfort your family but rest well knowing that they will always have many fellow officers from near and far to lean on when needed. Our heartfelt condolences to your family and may you rest in peace in the light of God's love.

We all know the risks involved when we pin on our badges, but we do it anyway. Thats how we are. It is not easy when death takes one of our family, Vicky has given the ultimate sacrifice. In times like these, we must pull the ranks together and reflect on the efforts we give to serve our public trust.

Tyler and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Vicky, when we see each other, we will laugh about the good times, and cry about the bad once again.

Rest easy my friend.

I Am Free, Don't grieve for me,for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call,I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh,to love,to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void. Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared,a laugh,a kiss.Ah,these things I,too will miss.Be not burdened with time of sorrow. I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full,I savored much. Good friends,good times,a loved one touched. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now. He set me free.

Det Armel, It comes with great surprise and sadness that on the very day we laid to rest Gary Buro one of our own we have lost another hero here in Virginia. It's difficult to understand why anyone would want to take the life of those of us that carry badges. We serve to protect those who cannot protect themselves. We rush into danger when everyone else is running away from it. You have exemplified the highest quality of courage under fire and unselfishly gave your life protecting others. You will always be remembered not by how you lost your life but how you lived. you are a true hero. We send our condolences to you, your husband, your children, your family and all the Fairfax Police Dept. Lord you have another Sister Angel in blue coming up, shes wearing a badge and ready to walk the beat on heavens streets. Rest in peace Detective.

The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fails while daring greatly. So that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

What is that wonderful sound

It’s coming from the cemetery ground

Sounds like bagpipes from a military tattoo

A large number of people gathered wearing blue



It’s a police funeral conducted in a military fashion

Marching in line with pride and passion

They are saying goodbye to their fallen comrade

All performed with the precision of a military parade



An observer cannot feel anything but proud

To have touched the life of the person in the funeral shroud

To give your life in such a way

Heroic to the end, the supreme price to pay



The dedication of the boys and girls in blue

To sacrifice their lives for you

They are eternally in your debt

The sacrifice, you do not regret

May god bless you and your family.

Your wife will never be forgotten.

To Det. Armel's family, friends, and fellow officers of the Fairfax County P.D., our hearts and prayers are with you all. We lost Officer Gary Buro just four short days ago, and your Motor Unit rode in the rain to assist us in honoring a brother killed in the line of duty. It has been a tragic week in Virginia, and we share in your pain and feel your loss as strongly as we feel our own here in Chesterfield. May god help us all in our healing process, and be with Vicky's husband, children, and fellow officers in this painful time. Rest easy Vicky, the watch is ours as you go to a better place to continue your passion for protecting others. May you look down on us, and offer us your protection from above.
