Reflections for Police Officer Kathleen Schaefer

I was a rookie officer with Houston PD in 1982 when I had the great privilege to partner with Officer Schaefer when we were stationed at the Beechnut Substation. I remember a particular traumatic call we were on together. The Westchase Hilton fire on March 7, 1982, took the lives of twelve people. We assisted at the temporary morgue set up in the parking lot and later to secure the floor where the fire occurred. I am glad she was there with me that day. She was a very professional officer and I was proud to know her.
Rest in peace my sister.

A year ago I left my first reflection, when my mother read it she cried. She was only 12 when the incident occured. Sometimes I wonder if Grandma Kathleen were still alive if my life would be different. Of course my mother is very open with her feelings of her mother's death. My Uncle is still not completely over the fact that his mother died before she was supposed to. I hope that anyone who looks at this reflection and cry as my mother did.

Each day I try to read the ODMP. Today I read your story. Any officer who dies in the line of duty will always be remembered for her sacrifice. You died a hero. Rest in peace Officer Schaefer.

I never knew my grandmother but have learned great things about her. I'm 11 yrs old and have a new grandmother. I still miss my Grandmother and when I die I hope I met her at the pearly gates. I am teaching my homeroom class what my family has been through I cry every time I talk about it but they understand
