When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. I just found this page so I must apologize for my late entry. Just know that Ms. Canfield is thought of often, and her memory will live on forever. My deepest condolences to her family members she left behind.

You know, we all take a huge risk to put on that grey uniform, and every day I walk through that gate, I have to wonder, "Did I tell my kids I love them enough before I left? Did I give my wife a kiss goodbye? Am I coming home tonight?"
We all know the score, and we all know what could happen at any time, but that doesn't mean that we expect it, or expect how bad it hurts when an officer is hurt by some vengeful inmate with a grudge, or when we are told that an officer will never again walk the halls of our unit.
I know I am late in posting this, but Officer Canfields passing touched us all, from seasoned veterans with 30+ years in the system, to us "new boots" just getting out of the academy.
I have tears going down my face as I type this.
Officer Canfield, your sacrifice was not in vain, your legacy lives on in us, the new generation of Correctional Officers, we will be alert, vigilent, firm, fair, and consistant, and we will always watch our brothers and sisters backs.
Thank you, and ride easy on soft grasses.

To CO Susan Canfield and her loved ones:

On the first anniversary of your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

I pray that you, your family and department get the full measure of justice that is so richly deserved.

Rest in Peace, Officer Canfield. I am so humbled by your valor and courage.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Susan gave to her community and the citizens of Texas, and for the supreme sacrifice she and her family made on September 24, 2007.

Officer Canfield served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who knew her. It is a tragedy to lose her. We never know when our lives on this earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, Officer Canfield. My heart goes out to your
loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can.

My thoughts are with all of your loved ones on this day. I gave 30 years to law enforcement and always admired those individuals who served in corrections for you are locked inside those walls with vicious individuals. You are a true hero. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones and your co workers across the country. You have not been forgotten.

Sometimes we stumble, we may even crawl, only the good seem to fall.......in your memory every day we find strength and honor and a reminder to not forget where we are or what we stand for. I am so very sorry that some one did and your memory serves as a grave reminder of that fact each and every day. May your family know that we miss you every day. As a pillar of honor,bravery, and strength may god keep your family in his grace for an angel he does now embrace. Thank you

Officer Canfield loved riding the horse, she was riding her last day on earth. And I know that, on that same night and today in the Kingdom of Heaven she again enjoyed riding that every same horse.
