I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family, friends, and co-workers of this fine trooper. I read she was going to donate her organs to other people who needed them. Though it is sad to read of her passing, this last act of kindness and selfless help to others even in death speaks volumes about this trooper's character. I wish I had the honor of knowing and working with this woman. She sounded like one of the good ones that come along only so often. God bless this woman and her family and I pray he eases their pain in this time of loss.

Everyday we see each other and take for granted the fact that we will all be there the next day, very sadly this was not the case.

Thank you for your dedication and your bravery, you will always be remembered and remind us to never take each other for granted.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
