Catrina, may she rest in peace!

Last Saturday October 23, 2010, I attended the SASS UNMASKED High Tea event in observation of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in rememberance of "Catrina."  She was killed by her husband.  Read about Catrina.

 

Catrina, at the age of fifteen excelled at sports, deemed a national scholar, and recognized as Who's Who Among High School students.  After high school, she succesffully matriculated at Fisk University in Nashville, interned for the Nashville States of Attorney, and obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English.  During her professional career, she excelled as a TV News Producer in Atlanta she was a Vice President of Education for a global corporation and traveled throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean.  At the age of 25, she was very happy when she met her husband, a 23 year decorated soldier.  She married him after only knowing him six weeks citing that he was "a gentlean and a scholar."

Catrina was also a Sergeant in the United States military.  She served honorably and received many awards and soldier of the year accommodations.  She worked in the capacity of Software Engineering Systems Management, and as a Journalist for her brigade's newspaper.  Catrina was awarded the high honor of recommendation by senior officers and accepted into Officer Candidate School (OCS).  she was deemed qualified and accepted in the prestigious Secret Intelligence Unit and Committee for National Security Internship program in Washington D.C.  Catrina earned these enviable accomplishments in the United States military in just three years.  Personally, Catrina was a founding board member of America's Time Out for Youth, Inc.   Foremost; she was a Christian and loved the Lord.  She was a Christian educator and taught Sunday School classes at her place of worship, served as a Pastoral Assistant, mentored youth, and was on the brink of obtainintg her Master's Degree in Spiritual and Clinical Psychology when she met her untimely death, a murder/suicide at the hands of her husband. Two hours before she left this earth, she taught a standing room only bible class to women at her church; as she left fro the day, she told the church's custodian with a bright smile.  I am very happy today - I am going home..."  On the day Catrina's mother and sisters expected to see her bright smile as she departed the plat at the arrival gate, she instead arrived in the cargo section of the plane...she received a letter of gratitude and given an honored soldier's burial. May she rest in peace!

Her mother, Gloria Daniels, is committed to the work of preventing domestic violence and raising the awareness through her organization. Please visit her website at www.dddcgi.com.
