Hey Kiddo,

It seems like yesterday when we were dating when you worked at Bob’s Big Boy. Then running into you at the Mall 25 yrs later to my surprise to hear you had become a Police Officer too. Me on
L. A.S.D. and you with our Brothers and Sisters in Blue.
I remember the phone call in the middle of the night. I didn’t/ refused to believe it was you. I had heard it on News, but did not know your married name at the time.
I was at your service. Saw Cindy and we had some good laughs.
Now you are with the Angels, looking down and watching over us all.
You final resting place is only 50 ft from my mom & sister. I visit you, my mom and Sis as often as I can.
May Our Lord keep you safe in the Palm of His Hand, until I see you again..
Love ya Kiddo,
Eddie

Tina,
Happy Birthday Kiddo,
It seems like yesterday we met when you worked at Bobs Big Boys. We sure had some fun times together. Your smile lit up a room. I will never forget your funeral and saying my final goodbye.
I think of you often and will visit you when I visit my mom & sister ( only 50 ft away from you). Your Brothers & Sisters honor you each year with a “ fly over” in one of their Aero Units.
May Our Lord keep you safe in the palm of his hand, until we see each other again…
Love ya,
Eddie

Tina,
Where have all the years gone, since you left us to be with Our Lord. I still remember the fun times when you were working at Bob’s Big Boy, before you decided to put on the uniform too.
I think of you often and visit you when I visit my mom & Sister. They are only 50 ft from your final resting place too.
You had so much life in you and it was taken from you.
I know I will see you again, it’s this waiting game we call “ Life” that is tuff.
God Bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand, until we see each other again.
Love ya,
Eddie Weta

Officer Kerbrat,

Tragic events take place sometimes, and we just don't always understand why God allows them to happen. I don't know why God allowed your life to be taken that day, especially so early in a career which, by all account, you loved so much. I do know, from personal experience, that as painful and difficult those things are, to those of us who love Him, He pulls us through and makes us grow. I'm confident your husband and children have grown, matured and become stronger as time has passed. I'm sure they have only fond memories of the wife and mother you were. Rest in peace. Thank you for your service to the citizens of North Hollywood, and for the love and kindness you showed to all your family, friends and colleagues. I will pray for them.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. – Matthew 5:9

Still not forgotten Tina. You were an amazing person by all accounts by everyone who knew you. I have a friend who had lives there in Sun Valley by the park. After dinner he showed me your sign. I took photos of it. You are a true hero Tina. I pray for Earl Valladares your training officer. He is a legendary Policeman. You will never be forgotten Tina. We never forget our brothers and sisters. God speed!

Tina we were classmates and friends. I remember the day like it was yesterday when I last saw you. We talked in the parking lot about the trip you had just returned from with your husband. You were telling me how great you felt. Sadly twenty minutes later your life was stolen and all of our hearts were broken. It still brings a tear to my eye to this day thinking about that day. You will always be missed and loved. Class 4-90.

It's hard to believe it's been all of 29 years almost but that night in North Hollywood you or your ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten

THE LAPD WILL NEVER FORGET YOU OFFICER KERBRAT

PS. YOU MADE HISTORY

In 1990 I transferred to the LAPD academy, as a D.I., and was assigned to Class 4-90. Tina was a member of that class. Tina always had a smile on her face. She was an outgoing, energetic recruit, determined to finish the Basic Course. Tina graduated from the academy in October 1990 and was assigned to North Hollywood Division. I last spoke with Tina about a week before her death. We had inadvertently met at the academy. We spoke for a few minutes and she expressed how happy she was to be a police officer. We hugged and she walked away, little did I know into LAPD history. I had the distinct honor to be one of Tina's pallbearers. Tina was the first female LAPD officer to be killed in the line of duty. As a result, the department created the Tina Kerbrat award to be presented to one recruit officer at each graduation. After promoting and returning to the academy, as a supervisor, I would meet with each graduating recruit class and tell them about the award and of course, about Tina. Before I retired I would on occasionally take classes to Tina's grave at the San Fernando Mission Cemetary. I was present and recall the exact moment the photograph used in this memorial was taken. I will NEVER forget her, her big smile or her sacrifice.

Tina,

I remember doing my probationary year with you in North Hollywood. We used to joke about how everyone said we smiled all the time. I remember you telling me you always wanted to be a police officer but wanted to start a family first. I remember your funeral and the waves of blue that went on forever. I remember to visit your name on the memorial from time to time. I even had my son with me once and he wanted to hear all about my friend Tina. I hope you hear all of us after all these years and know:

You are remembered.

It does not seem possible that 25 years have passed since you were taken from us.... I will always remember the date 211 because we were truly robbed that day. I hope you know how much 4-90 and all of LAPD still loves you.
Rest in peace sweet sister.
