Gabe could not help but be moved to tears to meet the two young children of Chris. His wife was there and one of his little girls was holding a poster about her dad. Gabe hugged the whole family and spent a couple of hours with them. After the service, they visited and Gabe tearfully let her know that he would always have Chris and the experience of the ride with him.
Tamie had a similar experience with her family and said that for every mile she pounded on she knew that the loss of all EMS workers in the last year could not be in vain because of the awareness they have raised. The peace brought to his family and the families of fallen EMS workers in Washington would forever be with her as well. From meeting Jordan, the survivor of Trooper 2 to hearing dogtags jingle around her neck everyday, her journey would forever touch the lives for whom she has ridden.
Nick, whose emotions deep but quiet described the service and as moving. He met with James' family before the service and gave them his tags. He said they shared a great conversation and he knew how much it meant to her that he had taken the time to make the ride.
