Officer Corona, it’s times like this where I think about all the law enforcement officers we have lost. I hope you’ve found peace.

Natalie,
I had the honor of knowing you for many years. Even in high school I knew you were special, I cannot think of another person I have ever encountered that was more kind and generous of heart, you were a beautiful soul. I watched you grace our school, helped to crown you homecoming queen and was jealous of your basketball skills. You made the world a better place every day and you will never ever be replaced or forgotten. I go to Pierce games now, the gym renamed in your honor. I cannot think of another person that could represent the Bears better than you. You presence is still there and will always be!

Officer Corona,
Natalie, I was honored to know you through out my high school years. You will always be one of the kindest and sincere people I will ever meet. I witnessed you being queen of the court as well as being a phenomenal basketball players to ever wear blue and gold. Now I go the games and see your names on the front of the gym, I cannot think of anyone ever to represent the Bears! You are and will always be missed

Officer Corona

Your passion and zeal for life could be felt and seen by all. You are a true HERO and will not be forgotten. You touched my life as you did so many others. Rest in peace Natalie. I know you are in a better place.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Natalie was killed in the line of duty.

To the Corona family, fellow officers, and all who call Natalie beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support. I know that that you will continue to receive that same kind of support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

I was privileged to attend Natalie's funeral which was held in the same campus building that my son Larry graduated from years ago. My grandson, born 2 1/2 months after his dad was killed, also attended the services, and it was his first police funeral. I cannot think of a more fitting person than Natalie for him to have honored.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Natalie gave to her community and the citizens of California and for the supreme sacrifice she and her family made on January 10, 2019.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I live in Mobile Alabama and this really touched my heart. Such a hard thing for a family to go through for no reason. I pray that God will bless your family somehow through this senseless act. May he give you mercy, peace and love.

Davis Police To Unveil Fallen Officer Memorial

The unveiling is being held on the 1-year anniversary of Officer Natalie Corona's line-of-duty death.

Posted on Patch News Jan 10, 2020

DAVIS, CA — The Davis Police Department plans to unveil its newly constructed Fallen Officer Memorial in a special event Friday that falls on the one-year anniversary of the death of Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona.

Corona was shot and killed Jan. 10, 2019, in the line of duty. The 22-year-old officer was responding to a car crash at 5th and D streets when a gunman, later identified by police as Kevin Limbaugh, rode up on a bicycle and opened fire. Corona was rushed to UC Davis Medical Center but did not survive.

Corona was described as a "rising star" in the Davis Police Department, where she began working as a part-time employee in 2016. She went on to attend the Sacramento Police Academy and graduated in 2018.

The promising young officer whose life was taken too soon has been remembered, honored and celebrated en masse by Davis residents, elected officials, members of the law enforcement community and UC Davis students.

Corona was the first Davis police officer to be killed in the line of duty since the 1950s.

Its been a few months since I took the time to thank everyone who has wished Natalie blessings. Especially those of you who are serving or have served in the military and or police agencies. Natalie was a proud American patriot who loved this country, not only on the 4th of July but every day. Her decor was red, white and blue, all the time. May God bless all of you and may God bless America.

It seems so wrong and unfair that a young lady so early in her law enforcement life was taken away from her lifetime of service. Why are the good taken so early and the evil seem to last forever? When horrible things happen to good people, the only thing to do is decide her death will somehow result in a better place where she worked. Her death has to have great positive results or it won't mean anything and this officer wouldn't put up with that. God bless you my sister, make the Sun shine brighter from Heaven, you are the angel now so look down and make each day safer and better for us all. Goodbye my sister, you will live in my heart and mind until we meet again.

“The Badge"

She starts her shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
She drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer she is known.

She’s paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But she usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has her salary beat.

Now she doesn't know a holiday
'Cause she works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At her home she cannot be found.

She’s cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
She seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some she’s just a fool.

Her friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath her badge and gun,
She’s just another women.

She knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And she gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when she leaves for work,
She prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight she stops a speeding car,
She alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
She does it everyday.

Well, she walks up to the driver's window,
And her badge is shining bright.
She asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So she lay on the ground bleeding.
Her blood wasn't blue - Her blood was red.
And briefly she thought of her loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved her cried.

Well, they buried her in uniform
With her badge pinned on his chest.
She even had her revolver,
She died doing his best.

Back the Blue, Kate
