Peter Christopher Schiemann

For the past several years, I have had the pleasure of working with Mike at Northlands. He always seems to have a smile on his face, a bounce in his step and a friendly "hello" for everyone. On one occasion, I recall him introducing me to his little brother, Peter, who also had that friendly (yet somewhat curious) smile and pleasant disposition.

My uncle has been an RCMP member for almost 20 years, and yet I can not pretend to know the pain or sense of loss of your family, but I can hope that your strong faith will bring you comfort and eventually a sense of peace.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, always.

And Mike, I sincerely hope that your smile and that little bounce in your step will one day return...becuase it reminds me that no matter how bad things may seem, there is always a brighter side of things....

All my best.

Peter,

I didn't know you well, but I cherish the memories of you that I have. You helped me when I was a lost 18 year old looking for a friend, and let me know that I had also found a friend in you; you remembered me months later when I was still looking for that same friend, only this time not so lost. You helped to put me on a path in life, you've inspired me to new heights. I will always carry a piece of you in my heart, and remember your extraordinary kindness.

You were a true miracle.

Way to stand up and declare that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour, Peter! I praise and thank God from my heart as you have become a true disciple of Jesus. You have encouraged me and this vast nation who needs to know Jesus so very much.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are an RCMP family and also your brother and sister in the Lord. May the wonderful peace of God which passeth all understanding fill your hearts and minds. What a comfort and blessing to be able to say your precious Peter is with the Lord Jesus.

I first want to let you know that my heart goes out to you and your entire family.As I sat and watched the funeral on tv I cried. Everyday will be a struggle but as they go on you with find the strenght within you to heal.I have two very good friends that are also RCMP and I cant even imagine going though this. My 14 yr old has been looking forward to having a career as an officer but after watching the pain that you and the other families are going through I really dont believe I could handle it.Even though I did not know Peter or the other officers I still feel the pain of loosing these brave men who are risking there lives to protect us. May god be with you all and give you strenght to heal. God Bless

My deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and fellow officers of this brave man, who paid the ultimate price for our public safety. May you be comforted in the thought that many are thinking of all of you. God Bless

All I can say is my prayers are with your family and for the soul of your son. May the G-D who created all people give you comfort. “We will all meet someday, in that home far away…in the New Jerusalem”

Dear Schiemann's Family,



May the testimony for Christ that Peter has left behind continue to reach out as a blessing to the many lives he has touched.



May God's peace and love surround you and bring each of you comfort during this time.

Don, Beth, Micheal, and Julia,



I am extremely sadden by the loss of Peter. I went to Stony Plain Memorial Composite High School with Peter, and Julia. Peter was in choir with myself. Even when he graduated, he took time out of his busy scheduel to see us sing. I talked with him a few times, and he was a very kind hearted man, and he will be missed. I just want to say thank you for allowing my brother Kirk be apart of the paulbarrer party, it was a great honor to our family to have him go and be apart of his funeral on Tuesday, March 8, 2005.



Peter will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. We will see you again Pete.



John, Janet, and Jody Allan

I didn't know Peter.When I heard about what happened I felt so sorry. Even if i didn't know him he looked like a good person.He is a good person to every one in Canada.I read about the his story in the newspaper.How he always had a smile on his face.Seeing his picture in the newspaper he looked like a kind and loving person.I am deeply sorry for your loss. He is watching over all of you.

May his spirit fill your hearts with love', God Bless ALL ..

Rev and Mrs. Schiemann, Mike and Julia. I'm so sorry for your loss. I went to Concordia with Peter and he was just here visiting me in January. I always thought of him like a brother and I'm going to miss him so much. He was such a wonderful friend and he made going through school a breeze. I loved him dearly and I will NEVER forget him. God bless you all.

My deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and fellow officers of this brave man, who paid the ultimate price for our public safety.

God bless him. The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurst of men.

Henry David Thoreau

We are all terribly sorry for the loss you endure but at the same time we rejoice because Peter is now with the Lord. May God strengthen you and carry you in this trying time. Your family is in my prayers. A sister in Christ.

To the Schiemann Family, I'm sorry that your husband past away you must be hurt and crying I guess it was Peter's time to die but he is in heaven and i will pray for him as much as I can hopefully you can feel better about this and carry on with your lives I know this was very hard on you guys I'm very sorry that this happend. Hope you guys are doing fine. Hang in there.

To the Peter Christopher Schiemann Family,

I am a friend of Ms Ell Peters ex-teacher. I know that you were very proud of your son and know that he was an exceptionable and outstanding young man. My prayers go out to you and the family. Love and God's blessing,Carolyn Ledet

My condolences to all of the family. Three of my extended family were involved in police service. Two were R.C.M.P. and one was L.A.P.D. They have all retired now and with the grace of God, they are all healthy and happy. Your son and brother was a true hero and Canada is a safer place because of his dedication. God Bless the family during this terrible time of loss.

I don't know your family, but we are both part of God's family. While I am very sad to hear of your loss, but I am also very touched by your faith in God during this time. We don't grieve in the same way as those without hope. I pray that you will continue to cling to the hope that we have in Jesus. May God shine through you and comfort you with the peace that passes all understanding.

Through a friend in Canada I learned of the terrible, senseless loss of these 4 young men~doing their duty as RCMP officers. I am extending my condolences on behalf of my family to yours~~Peter sounded like a wonderful young man and his legacy will live on in all those with whom he came in contact.

Peter was a student of mine at Concordia. I will always remember his friendly smile and calm manner. At convocation ceremonies we watch our graduates walk across the stage, full of promise and potential. Peter accomplished some of his goals and his life touched many people, but he had so much more to give. Our sorrow is all the deeper because we know how much he would have contributed if he had not been taken so early. We are saddened by his death and particularly by the loss of what would have been. Peter will be fondly remembered by all of us who were fortunate to have him as a student.



God’s healing grace to his family and friends.

Bryan Rooney (Concordia University College)

Dear the Schieman family,

We agonize with you over the senseless tragedy that befell our province and country last week. We wish you to know many Canadians care and to take this opportunity to wish you (the family members) our heartfelt sympathy in Peter's sudden passing. May our good Lord comfort you all during these most difficult days. May those close to you shower you with their support and love. God bless!

GO RCMP PEOPLES!!!!!

Dear Schiemann Family:

Jesus said, "There are many rooms in my Father's house, I go to prepare a place for you..." We all know that Peter now occupies one of these rooms in his Father's'house. In this lenten season may the assurance of the risen Christ comfort all who mourn the fallen officers. May the Peace of the Lord be with your family.

God Bless you,

I just want to express my deepest sympathy for the family at this time and my heart goes out to you.

Gonna be really strange not seeing you around town anymore Peter. Everyone's gonna miss you!

After reading Peter's obituary , my heart is just filled with such sadness.. My sincerest sympathy to each of you. I know Peter and his Commrades will have a very special place in Heaven..Gloria, Cst Beth Leatherdale's, Mom.

Our hearts are with you-we all have lost so share your grief.Take heart-you are never alone.

Don, Beth, Michael, and Julia

May your faith keep you strong and help you heal during this difficult time. Remember our thoughts and prayers are always with you. Peter will always be in our hearts.

My family and I wish to express our deepest sympathy. We wish you strength in your sorrow.

Dearest Pastor, Beth, Michael and Julia;

I'm so sorry that I couldn't make it out with my parents. I'm sure that you have all been experiencing tremendous sorrow at this time. Pastor Schiemann, I heard you say on one interview that you know that some good will come out of this horrible accident, but you just can't see it at this time. I want you to know that part of Peter's legacy was his faith. It has allowed me to witness to many people over the past few days about what comfort it is to your family to know that Peter has joined his Father in Heaven. People are amazed at how strong your family has appeared, and I have been able to tell them that a large part of that strength comes from your faith in our Lord. Please know that Peter is still touching lives and will continue to do so, even in death.

You and your family have all my love as you deal with this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

All my love ~ Karis Lasenby

My Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in this hard

time. He was a wonderful person and will be missed.

Darlene Kuchka

Thank you for sharing so many wonderful memories of Peter. The Force was fortunate to have this truly remarkable young man in their midst. His spirit will remain in our memories forever.

Our thoughts, prayers, and the love we share in Christ are with all of you. Your interview was such a wonderful witness of Peter's faith and yours. It gave us strength as we also grieve with you in your loss.

God be with all of you,

Bob and Marian Dressler

I had the pleasure of meeting Peter while he was in high school as my son Kent was a close friend of Mike's and I listened to these boys as they dealt with the grief they went through during high school when they lost one of their fiends. The belief as a family and the belief in their faith came out strong. This belief will continue to carry your family on. Don and I were shocked when Kent gave us the call. We are so sorry for your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in the tragic loss of your son and brother.

Our heart felt sympathy to you and all the families and friends of all four of the officers. After reading Peter's obituary, with tears in my eyes, I know that Peter was a special person. He will live on in your hearts and memories. God Bless You

I cannot imagine the pain you all must be feeling but yet I know as a mother of an officer to be, it is something we all dread to have to face as our children put their lives on the line for our country and for the sake of keeping the peace in this kaotic society.In reading this obituary on your son "Peter", my heart jumped for joy as I read that he was indeed a child of God's and now is residing with our Lord and Savior. I thank God for sharing Peter with us,I thank God for loving our Brother In Christ, I thank God for the gift of serving,and protecting he instilled into Peter. Praises that Peter has enherited his gift of eternal life as OUR Lord promises us! May God give you peace and comfort to your families! In His Holy and Precious Name!

Grace Lutheran Members

No words can express the depth of sorrow which I and all conscionable citizens feel at your loss. There are no words to explain the loss which the Schiemann Family have experienced. May God strenghthen you at this difficult time and in your season of sorrow. All I Have are tears.

My heartfelt sympathies to all of Peter's family and friends. Peter was a very brave and courageous police officer and will have a special place in heaven.



Sgt. David Elanik

Edmonton Police Service

My heart goes out to the family and probably don't know what you are going through. Grown up around Mayerthrope just gave me a sick feeling on how anyone can go such a thing and especially to people that you are suppose to respect.

We have kept the family in our prayers. We lost our son in a car accident 14 months ago. Keep faith in God and he will see you through.

I know that there are no words that I can say that would ease your pain or lessen your sorrow. I only know that the crown the Father places upon Peter's head is one of His most precious, reserved for the dedicated and courages people who willingly and with love put their lives on the line to try to ensure the safety and well being of others."Ma hath no greater love...

My thoughts and prayers are with all who grieve this tragic and senseless loss.
