To the family of Officer Christina Splaine: I am a parent of a former Blair HS student and met her just last year. Immediately, I felt her sweet presence and genuine compassion for youth. She was very kind, sincere, and loving. My heart sank when I learned of her sudden passing. My sincere condolences to her family, loved ones, and countless lives she touched. She was a light in the earth and may her brightness shine in the hearts of all of us always. Remember that earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
