Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am deeply saddened by Officer Beck's death. I know what the family is going through and wish them peace.

There are no words to express feelings in death of a Hero.

Thank you so much for putting your life on the line. RIP

To a Police Officer, who worked in life to angel and serve his fellowman. Igor Soldo; though I did not know you in life; hearing Sgt Jimmy Oaks speak about you and your fellow fallen co-worker and friend, Alyn Beck, it was clear that the Police Force, your beloved family, Las Vegas and these Great United States share an enormous loss with you now beginning your life in heaven. I will soon deliver a "Memorial Gift" to honor you and Officer Beck. I do know, that you will continue to be ever present for your loved ones, your friends and those you served in life; that you've only moved upwards, as death, though hard to grasp is a transition of position, that one day will bring all of us face-to-face with God, and our loved ones! My Angel Café extends both our deepest sympathy and condolences to you and to your family. I carried to your funeral and to the funeral of your fallen comrade a poem gifted to Sheriff Gillespi, a poem that is part of the 9-11 Palo Verde High School Memorial for a Foreign-Language Teacher, Barbara Edwards, who was killed on 9-11. The poem, now carried in three Las Vegas Parades, "I Saw His Face," offers comfort in a verse that crystallizes a near-death and/or after-life experience. I made an effort to leave a copy for your family at the Canyon Ridge Christian Church. I will make sure that Sgt. Oaks receives another copy for you in the close future. The poem is published in a online article titled: "Navin's poem is about face" by former local columnist, Susan Snyder. Though, my child, 43 year old daughter, just was recovering from a hospital visit for conjestive heart failure from dialysis problem; and, my son-in-law, followed and was being treated for a life-threatening problem, my grandson said: "Grandma, I know you said you wanted to attend both funerals; and, one is being held this morning." After, seeing to my son Robert, getting through a test, I headed to the Northeast Palm Cemetery, winding the wrong way on 215, stopping to ask a roadside crew, and, a convenience food eatery for more help. I arrived at the end of ceremony--from nights and days in the hospital rooms to a ceremony that was already finished. But, as I moved along, not attired as I would have been if not for my personal days at my children's sick bed, I was compelled to thank groups of officers huddled together, "Excuse me and thank you," as I clutched the over-sized poem poster, provided at no cost to me for the effort I made. When asked by one officer, who I was with, I said, "I can show you information, "I am here to say "Thank You--I am here because I and our nation cares." As I moved towards other small groups, displaying the poem in the breeze and offering my "Thanks," I found a line that was moving; and, zealously raised the poem high- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was tired but present, reporting in for heaven, a worker- bee for our Lord; but tired and unaware that these officers were rendering a ''final salute''. No, I had not seen the Coffin ahead of the tent, lifted up on the grass. In any case, as I was approached by a kind, slender gentleman, who asked me to move across the street because the family was heavily grieving, I did so. As I noted the coffin; and, now saw the few officers remaining giving a final salute to their friend and comrade, Igor Soldo, I hoped that my good will had not offended, and/or hurt anyone. I had left my loved ones to bring God's love to people hurting. That is what I do. God gave me a verse to angel the world years ago. I have been relentless in doing so. It is received by both world leaders, by clergy, by schools, read aloud at funerals and turning- off of life support in hospitals. So, I brought it there; and, made it only by His Grace. I was on the highway when I saw the 5 helicopters in the air, and knew I would arrive after all were gone, but this did not matter. I would read it and offer the reading of it to God on behalf of Igor. In any case; as it happened, I was not allowed to go to the coffin as two more officers approached me as I was seeking permission from two others. I knew by the abrupt hand gesture made by one of the two officers, I was been told to retreat. I understand that--Years ago in 1981, I was met at the end of a tunnel bright. I conveyed I wished to stay, conscious of all I would be leaving, but I was motioned by loving hands with a gentle hand gesture, an up-and-down slow waving of the hands of my Father as I stood with him face-to-face to go back, to go back to where my lifeless body laid. Though I did not want to heed the hand gesture; today, I know why I was sent back. Today, I work tediously to share my round- trip to heaven, to share "I Saw His Face." At the funeral for Police Officer Soldo, I did retreat when I saw a the officer's abrupt flicking-off a fly hand motion, and felt like I was being told to move quickly away. I know that wasn't so. I know that the officers did not know who the stranger was that showed up late, not properly attired, and possibly speaking up during a formal moment. I do understand. When I present the Memorial Gift to Sgt Jimmy Oaks, and, it is shared, I know, it will comfort our Las Vegas Police family as it comforted the Boston Police who lost an MIT Officer in the April 15, 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing over a year ago. This reflection is to tell the family, death is a change in a relationship but it does not end it. On February 14, 2012, The Las Vegas Review Journal told a story on the front page about a man, Sp4 David Leroy Bell, my fiancé who was killed in Vietnam in 1969, just a few weeks before we married. Today, he is one of the angels that help bring the world the aforementioned verse of grace. May God Bless You Igor Soldo as you are with Jesus face-to-face. May God overshadow your loved ones, and your friends and all whom you hold dear. And, forever, you will remembered in my angel cafe's prayers, in my prayers, sincerely, Cathy (I noted once I submitted this reflection, that it was on Officer Alyn Beck's remembrance page. I will submit soon a personal reflection for him. However, since I had already submitted my Reflection for Igor on his page, I feel it well to leave it here too; most especially because they served together the public in life; they died on the same day close to each other; and, both will live on in the hearts of those they served and in the hearts of those who love them.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Officer Alyn Beck and the extended law enforcement family of the Las Vegas, Nevada Metropolitan Police Department. . Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
