Msgr. Robert J. Romano, an NYPD chaplain, gives a different type of homily at Brian Moore's funeral:
"I'm here to be with all of you, we're all here to be with you."
"We always get our man. We in the NYPD have a simple equated motto, and that we will never forget."
"It's been a tough week, a very tough week."
"Time heals all wounds, please never belive that, as we say in Brooklyn, it ain't true...We learn to live on with our lives...but the wounds will always be there."
"Sometimes [faith] can be as strong as the marbles of this pulpit, sometimes it can be as weak as we all feel this morining."
"Things happen in our lives, we might ask ourselves, 'where was God last Saturday?' I could say that it was with Brian, who accepted a call, a vocation...a vocation to be a cop and to be a hero."
"God gives us another gift, the gift of memories. Memories help us keep Brian alive."
"So memories don't even have to be things said or done, it can be something as simple as the smell of shaving cream of a sniff of food."
"We prayed a lot this past weekend. We wanted a miracle....we wanted full and total recovery for Brian. But it didn't happen."
"To this wonderful family, we are all here for you. You will never know how your strength and your dignity...affects us."
"Today is not like the moves 'the end.' It is a new day, a new beginning...We have to pick up the pieces."
"He was an American hero. He lived a life that was very short, but did many great things, with his family with his school...he was a team player."
"There is a Buddhist saying...it is a simple saying but I think it creates for us something to think about, something to pray about... 'When you are born, you cry and the world rejoices, when you die, you rejoice and the world cries.'"
"May God bless all of you, and may Brian rest in peace." -

"We are all heartbroken."
"We are all here for one purpose to honor one man, a great man, officer Brian Moore."
"Brian Moore represented the best of New York City, he was brave for sure, but his bravery was matched by his compassion."
"Brian took after his father and was a devout Baltimore Orioles fan. Raymond I admire your choice in bringing up your son admiring a team outside the American East, I think it gave him character."
"He just couldn't wait to be a part of the force....he cared so deeply, he worked so hard. He cared so deeply to do the job right."
"He was respected by his elder and looked up to by his jurior officers, and regarlesss of seniority, all saw him as a friend."
"He lived life to the fullest, he loved many, many things,....he was devoted to his German Shephard Smoky."
"Wherever he was whatever he was doing, he talked about the job and what he meant to him."
"Last Saturday, Brian showed the dedication he has always shown and made the ultimate sacrifice."
"Officer Moore dedicated his whole life to being a instrument of peace."
"God bless Officer Moore, and all who loved him." -

"Once more we find ourselves together in mourning..too soon, much too soon. But then again, it's always too soon when a police officer dies."
"At every police funeral the question is raised 'Why is it always the good ones?'"
"He has an eye for the street, he loved working the street
"If he shook your hand, and said he was going to do something, it was going to get done. We need more like him. We all need to be more like him."
"The policing of any community of any city...it is a shared responsibility..we all have a fundamental right to live free from fear..."
"We all share a responsibility to keep each other safe, community and police."
"Brian grew up with uniforms and the stories of the job, and I envy him for that."
(Quoting from a children's book) "We must always remember that when you always see a policemen, he is your friend, he is here to protect you....he will not hesitate to safe your life while risking his own. 1956, NYPD."
Bratton's eyes welled with tears as he made his final remarks, and promoted him to Detective.
