State troopers from Maine drove five hours from Bangor to Fredericton to attend the parade and funeral. We had to come up to see them and support them," said Toral Nelson, State trooper from Maine. "It hits close to home because we are the bordering state and we just recently lost an officer," said Lauren Roddy, State trooper from Maine. "A lady came by and she said, 'God must have known we needed a sweet little soul here today.'"
