The funeral service for RCMP Constable Shaelyn Yang has been told it's ``profoundly tragic'' that she didn't get the chance to fulfil her potential within the police service.
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki was among those who spoke at the service at the Richmond Oval, saying Yang was admired and respected for her work, resilience and dedication.
The 31 year old's cousin said in his eulogy that everything Yang did was defined by her empathy and compassion, and her belief that she could change the world.
Thousands of emergency responders from across the province and the country attended the service for the mental health and homeless outreach officer who was fatally stabbed last month in a Burnaby park.
