I hope that everyone can find comfort in Revelation 21:4 where it says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Until we see him again in Paradise, please accept my condolences.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Paul was killed in the line of duty.

To the Bauer family, fellow officers , and all who call Paul beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Commander Paul Bauer gave to his community and the citizens of Illinois and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 13th, 2018.

It was my honor to run this morning in the National Police Week 5K with our friend Commander Paul Bauer's name on my chest. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and many friends and all of our law enforcement family everywhere who has lost someone dear to them. God bless you all.

Reading this story broke my heart. I was tasked with reading and sharing a reflection of Commander Bauer for my Academy Class. I can't thank you enough for your sacrifice and I hope that someday I am as good as a person and officer that you are. Fly High Sir.

God bless this brother. I have honored to attend far too many fallen officer funerals in the past 42 years across the country. CPD and NYPD never fail to be there for their brothers and sisters. Both agencies are the gold standards of honor and commitment.

Deepest condolences to Family, Department and Friends. Visit the web site ImagineHeaven.net for a glimpse of the Glorious Reunions awaiting. All law enforcement men and women indeed qualify as "Foxhole Christians" with their duty dangers. As Ray Comfort at LivingWater.com says "Passing is the doormat they wipe their feet on before entering Heaven.” It is our belief they will hear from the Lord Himself. “Do not fear. for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:12).

RIP Commander. You will never be forgotten within the Chicago Police. You made the ultimate sacrifice by doing your job. You just didn't die. Part of Chicago and the Chicago Police Department died along with you. Rest in peace. You are a real superhero. Heroes aren't forgotten.

RIP Commander your sacrifice is reflective of the badge you swore to uphold. Like those still working you ran towards the trouble, which while others flee. Your family paid the ultimate price, the loss of your love and protection. We pray now for them, as you will remain in their thoughts, prayers and hearts forever.

A man who was a friend to everyone and truly one of Chicago's many, many finest. His wife and daughter showed us their effect on each other as a family. Ordinary citizens spoke up for him. My personal favorite was watching him on the WGN news, You Tube at the Mounted Unit horse stables. You can Google it and I think anyone would agree. Bless them all, we will never forget them or Paul.
