Today is the funeral of Officer Buddy Christain who was killed in the line of duty. Murders are not something you hear of very often in Athens, especially for a Police Officer. The Mayor asked that everyone pay their respect by lining Atlanta Highway from Downtown Athens all the way to West Athens were the cemetary is located. I could not believe how many fellow Athenians came out on this particular cloudy, cold day. After just a couple days, they caught the murderer and I really saw how the people that live here really rally together and just how small this town can be. News travels fast and people are really close in this town and supportive of each other. I can say that I am all the more thankful to live in such a supportive and loving town! God Bless Buddy Christain and his loving wife and 2 small children!!
