18 years ... so hard to believe. I've been having a tough day. I miss you so much. It's after midnight ... officially 2/22 ... and I should be in bed. But I can't get myself to go to sleep tonight. I don't think this will ever get easier. I remember your beautiful smile and your contaigious laugh. I remember your courage and determination. But mostly I remember your love and the way I always knew that everything would be okay as long as I was with you. I miss the comfort of your unconditional love. Please watch over me and send hugs anytime you can. I'll never understand why this happened ... but I trust that someday I'll be with you again. Until then, rest peacefully my dearest Aunt Christy .... and know that your Megalina loves you and always will.

Christy L. Hamilton, you will always be in my thoughts. I too, Roy Gutierrez, received the Tina Kerbrat award in the LAPD academy in 1997. I met Christy's a daughter a few years later in Santa Clara ca. It was a nice experience.

Officer Hamilton, My son graduates from the LAPD Academy this Friday 012811. I know your tour of duty was short but I want to thank you for stepping up and making a difference. You will never be forgotten. Please watch over my son as he starts his new career. He has spent 9 years in the USMC and has 4 Combat Tours in Iraq. He has always wanted to be a Police Officer and I am proud that he has followed in my footsteps. Semper Fi Officer Hamilton and God Bless you and your family.

Dear Aunt Christy,
San Diego PD lost an officer this morning. Watching the news and hearing them say an officer was shot and killed in the early morning hours reminded me so much of that tragic day we lost you. I watch the images on the tv and feel like I'm losing you all over again. Be with me today - I need to feel you close. I love you and miss you so much.

Dear Aunt Christy,
Your academy class held a reunion on Sunday and invited our family to help celebrate your life and your birthday. It was a tremendous gift to be able to talk with your classmates, share stories and laughter, and see what an impact you had on them all those years ago. It means so much to me to know that you are still remembered and loved, not just by us but by your classmates. They tell me I look like you ... and I smile ... I remember that little girl and young woman who desperately tried to emulate you. I was afraid I had lost her when I lost you. But your spirit lives in my heart and I feel you with me each day. The bond we shared will never be broken. Riding in the Police Unity Tour this year was an emotional journey and a wonderful opportunity. Honoring you ... remembering you ... feeling your strength within me ... I can't wait to ride again next year. I think I have some of your classmates convinced to ride with me :-)
I still miss you more than words can say ... and I long for the day we meet again. Until then, continue to watch over us all. I love you, Aunt Christy ...

This Officer was killed in the line of duty approximately 1 year before I moved to Arizona. I think of her often as I am Arizona Highway Patrol now. God bless her and her family. Sorry it took me so long to pay my respects. Jeff Jaynes Arizona Highway Patrol.

Officer Hamilton - As has been said, LAPD cars now have ballistic panels. I'm a cop a thousand miles away, now, and that's a luxury many departmenrts can't afford. Should we need to, we will improvise like they did that morning while trying to rescue you. Sleep well. We'll meet up soon enough. Thanks for your service to the people of Los Angeles. May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

Dear Aunt Christy,
We completed our training ride for the Unity Tour. Where you watching over us? Leaving from Devonshire seemed so appropriate. I'm sorry that I never had a chance to visit you at that station. I wish you would have had more time as an officer and that more people would have had the chance to know just how amazing you were. I met one of your teachers from the Academy - she stayed by my side throughout the ride. It made me feel like you were close by too. Riding into Parker Center was an honor but also a challenge. It was probably a good preparation for me in getting ready for Washington, DC. There is something about riding that long distance and then coming to a memorial wall that has your name on it ... it was more emotional than I was prepared for.
I'm having a rough morning today. I think the pride I felt at having accomplished the ride is starting to fade and now the pain of losing you is back at the surface. Maybe some part of me thought at the end of this ride you would be waiting there with open arms and a big smile ... silly, I know. But even after all these years, I still have a hard time accepting the fact that you are gone. Please be with me today - I could really use a hug.
I love you.

Christy,
Tomorrow YOUR LAPD class of 7/93 will be gathering at the new Polce Administration Building to honor your new place at the LAPD Memorial Wall. We want you and your family to know that you will always be remembered and missed. You were an inspiration to us then and you are an inspiration to us now. Your quiet strength and caring soul brings a little smile to our face and a warm feeling in our hearts.

Your LAPD class of July 1993 honors you and will never forget you.

When I read the story of Police Officer Christy Lynn Hamilton, I could not help but feel admiration for her. She is truly an example to everyone who has ever had a dream. Everyone who knew her should feel blessed.
Best wishes to her family.

Hi Sis:

Today, I spent a few hours with LASD Candidates who have chosen You as an example of inspiration. Being a "Pack Rat," I have kept my "CLH Folder," and I was able to share so much about You with them.

Your Memory lives on, not only upon my Facebook Site, but amongst the "future Women entering Law Enforcement."

May Your Soul Rest - In - Peace, knowing that You are most certainly NOT forgotten.

Christi, you are not forgotten. Though your tenure with LAPD was oh so short, the impact will last forever. I hope your family knows you are remembered daily. You were a rare gem who lived her dream and made the ultimate sacrifice. May God bless your family on this anniversary of your death. Rest peacefully sister and continue to watch over those of us who are still protecting and serving in your honor.

Well Aunt Christy,
It's 3am and I can't seem to make myself go to sleep tonight. 15 years ago today you graduated the academy, and four days from now will mark 15 years since you were taken from us. I remember those days so clearly ... I was so proud of you and yet so scared. I wonder how your academy mates are doing and whether or not they think of you during this time. One of my friends is a police officer here in San Diego. I told her your story ... she remembers when it happened. At first I was surprised that she remembered ... after all these years ... but then again, it doesn't surprise me at all that your life would continue to have an impact on others after all this time. The next four days are usually tough for me ... the days of remembrance that mark your graduation (the last day I saw you)and the day you left us ... can you send a hug or two my way if you get a chance? And help me draw strength from the knowledge that although your body is gone, your spirit will be with me forever.
I love you and miss you more than I can describe.
