You do not know but I continuously use your sacrifice that night as a teaching tool for young officers. Although it has been 19 years, I assure you that you have touched many new officer that come through my facility. You were taken so young but you are still impacting the profession!

16 years ago last night. What a horrible night that was. We are still thinking of you and I treasure the last conversation we had that night. You were so positive and excited for the upcoming "busy season". I keep your angel pin in my car always.

Thinking of you Kristin, and your laughter and what an amazing friend you were during the academy! Missing you, and want to thank you for watching us and being our angel for members of session 39, the last 16 years! You would laugh at many of us, we are getting old with gray hair!
