It is my sad duty to inform you that Belgian LEO Kitty Van Nieuwenhuysen, 23 years old and only child of one of my NCO's, was killed on December 4th, while responding to a car theft call.
Kitty was a LEO for less than 3 months, when she was killed by a burst of an AK-47. Before passing, she managed to warn other patrols.
Her fellow LEO and a civilian where severely wounded in the same shooting.
Kitty would have turned 24 the next day.
The funeral with all honors will take place on Tuesday, December 11th in the city of Leuven (Louvain), in the "Sint Pieter Church" at 10 am. All who wish to pay their respects are welcome.
There will be large delegations from the Military and the Belgian Federal and Local police Forces.
I will attend.
Please spare a thought for her and her parents.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Kitty Van Nieuwenhuysen, LEO, of Belgium. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your daughter was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. She will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Kitty.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

My most heartfelt and deepest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Kitty. Although we are a world away we feel your loss. May you find the strength needed to carry you all through your time of mourning and may you find peace in know Kitty rests now with angels and stands watch over her fellow officers at the gates of heaven.
Kitty, your duty is done. You fought valiantly and gloriously for justice in your own land. You are as much a hero to us as I'm sure you are to your family and friends. You will never be forgotten. |

Patriotism is more than a sentiment; it is a conviction based upon a comprehension of the duties of a citizen and a determination loyally to perform such duties.

Rest in peace Kitty knowing you did your best. You will always be remembered for it. I pray the Good Lord will wrap his arms around and comfort the family and friends of Kitty Van Nieuwenhuysen during this time of sorrow and pain. Rest assured that Kitty will be remembered right along with all our other Heroes, especially the LEOs from America. My heartfelt condolences are sent to all Kitty's family and friends and the whole police and military forces in Belgium. We may not be able to be with you physically next Tuesday, but we will be there in spirit.
Stand down Kitty, your job is done and you have the right to sit at the right hand of God and watch over your fellow human beings.

| My deep regret and sympathy to the family of LEO Kitty Van Nieuwenhuysen. The Belgium people have suffered the loss of a genuine hero; and all decent people everywhere are poorer for this terrible event. Kitty had the courage to stand in the way of the evil that threatens the civilized world; and we have a debt of Honor and Respect to her to continue the fight. Please know that Kitty will be in my thoughts and prayers often in the days to come. I also pray for the family and fellow LEOs, that they will find strength and solace as day leads unto day. |
