I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Barbara Pill. It is unfortunate when we lose a fellow officer or deputy in the line of duty. It really hits home and in our hearts whether or not we knew the person on an intimate level but somehow we are all connected and it does hurt. RIP Barbara Pill. God Bless Pill's family, friends and co-workers. I am sure she will be greatly missed.

A centurion, chosen by God, taken from us in a fleeting moment, by someone who respects nothing and no-one. Barbara, you will always be remembered by your co-workers, friends, family, and all the people whose lives you touched. An everlasting impression was made on all.....

God bless and rest in peace knowing, JOB WELL DONE TRUE AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Barbara's family, she gave the ultimate sacrifice protecting the community she proudly served. I have been with the BCSO for almost seven years at the jail and have never been sadder or more angry than when the news hit me. Rest in peace, you are not forgotten.

This prose has put so many things in perspective for me - hopefully it will help some of you who are grieving the loss of a hero who obviously lived her life in the service to others.

"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."

~ Written by Native American Shawnee Chief Tecumseh.
