Greetings Chief Paudert and family,
This message is to first send my deepest condolences to you and your family. Chief Paudert I've seen you many times in the media; and you display yourself as an upright, just, professional man of integrity. Therefore, saying I believe and feel in my heart you raised your son Brandon the same way. He's in God's arms now rejoicing with the King for the works and purpose he was sent to this earth. However, we who are left behind to carry on his legacy and memories must live righteously to complete our purposed journey too. With the hopes of one day seeing Father God face to face and our loves ones gone before us too. Chief Paudert and the entire Paudert family will forever be in my prayers and on my prayer list. Keep your head up as much as you can Paudert family your beloved Brandon Paudert is an ANGEL in God's kingdom serving the Father now for eternity. I've never met the Paudert family, but I love you all with the love of the Lord. If you Chief or the Paudert family are ever in the Memphis area, please I extend an invitation to my church. Grace Christian Fellowship Church Incorporated located on 3035 East Holmes Road; Memphis, TN 38118 in between Airways & Tculahoma Road. Love you much~ Tracie Gray.

My very deepest sympathies to the Paudert Family. You have certainly been in my prayers. I too am part of a law enforcement family, so this tragedy hits close to home. Moreover, Brandon was one of my classmates back home in Bartlett. Brandon was a fine young man then and no doubt this held true in his roles as a Son, Father, Husband and Officer.

May God continue to bless you and shower you with peace during this very difficult time.
