The young agent was captured on camera in famous photos jumping on the back of the vehicle carrying the president and first lady after gunfire broke out, killing the nation's 35th president. As the first lady made her way out of convertible amid the chaos, she was seen crawling towards Hill in the devastating photos.

"From the moment we met, there was an undeniable spark between us. We had that once-in-a-lifetime love that everyone hopes for—a relationship filled with passion, respect, admiration, and the pure joy of being together.
