Today I received your Silent Partner card, while attending the Advanced Peer Support class in Artesia.

I found it somewhat ironic, (yet probably meant to be) that I got your card, as your EOW is also my birthday.

I am honored to carry your legacy with me.

Thank you for your service to this country.

Another agent passed on in the line of duty this week in Tucson. Every time this happens, I miss Cathy. I think of my dear friend so often - every October 25, and whenever I remember our adventures in Guatemala and Bisbee, and just often! I was lucky to have her friendship. She will not be forgotten!

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Thinking of you on the 5th anniversary of your EOW.
You were beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
Thank you for your service even though your life was
tragically cut short.

I will never forget that morning when I found out that Catherine had passed. At the time I was a Senior Patrol Agent on duty at IB (her station) and although I didn't know her well (just in passing), I felt a sense of emptiness for some reason. Forgive me, but it wasn't until her memorial service, that I found out how extraordinarily generous, compassionate and out-going she was. It truly touched my heart to see all of the youth that she assisted in so many ways off duty, present at ther service so saddened. I only wish I had gotten the chance to know her better. She was obviously an inspiration to everyone around her and someone you could truly admire. She will never be forgotten.

Soon it will be 4 years since you were taken away from your loved ones. I salute you for your dedicated service in law enforcement. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten by those that love you nor will the Blue Family ever let you be forgotten. I know they think of you every single day and that their personal lives have been changed for ever through their loss. Keep watch over them and protect them from harm, also those still out on patrol.

I thank the heavens for brave people like you. You earned a seat at a table reserved only--only for the finest and the bravest. Your spirit and memory will live on...and will forever serve as an example of the meaning of the word: hero. You are appreciated beyond words.

You went to heaven on the same day as my Dad. I hope you two have met. He would have liked you and what you stood for. Rest in peace, Semper Fi.

Catherine is my twin sister. I want to thank everyone for their heart-felt comments and wishes. They have been so appreciated. I want everyone to know that good things do come from terrible tragedies. Many of you who knew Catherine knew she had a passion for helping others, especially animals and homeless teenagers. I started a non-profit foundation in her name www.catherinehillfoundation.org and have raised significant money for her beloved kids. I have also realized that she is very much alive and is still her feisty self. Nothing has changed. There is no such thing as death. A bond between twins cannot be broken, even by the supposed boundaries of death. I am writing a book about our contact called Twin Souls. My sister died because she had a message for the world and she wanted me to write about it. It was her way of getting the world's attention. She did not die in vain and her important words will soon be read, seen, and heard around the world.
