Dear Aunt Christy,
Another year has passed. I sit here on the eve of the anniversary of your death and reflect on the person I have become and how much a part of me you have always been. I would give anything to have had more time with you on earth, but I feel your presence beside me every day. You are, and always have been, my inspiration, my hero, and my angel. Thank you so much for your love and guidance. Thank you for bringing people in my life who have shown light to my path and offered me strength and love for the journey. This next year will bring many changes, but I know you will be at my side through it all - cheering me on, giving me strength, and keeping me safe. I love you, Aunt Christy! You are forever in my heart ... and will never be forgotten.

This is way over due - - I hope that this gets to Kenny, her brother and Cheryl her sister! Christy and I had been friends since we were 2 years old - - she lived across the street from where I lived. Oh, the memories I have of the things that we did together!! I think of her often and keep her and the family in my prayers!! I moved to Washington state in 1980 and I hadn''t lived here too very long, when she came for a visit with Kelly, her daughter!! This was a true tragedy . . . I lost a very, very dear friend and the LAPD lost a good, good officer!! My thoughts and prayers continue to hold Christy in my heart!! God Bless!!

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.
