Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Patrolman Eric Bradford Taylor

I Hate this, Everytime I'm on line, I try & remember to check out this site, & leave a reflection. I've gone weeks without checking my e-mail, and when I do, There is more senseless killing of Police Officers on this site.
What happened to Officer Taylor, I wish I could understand. But as a Cathlioc person, I know, that GOD called him for a reason, and that maybe there was an opening on the Lords Police Force, that only Eric could fill!!!
Eric did not die in vane, & he will be remebered !'
God Bless his family, and thank them for letting us have him serve !!!

I would like to send my prayers to this fine officers wife and children in the hopes that lord is bringing them comfort during these time..ofc Taylor will never be forgotten.

It rips my heart out to hear that another Officer Taylor has been killed. My Officer Taylor was killed last year and I know how bad it hurts to lose someone you love so suddenly. To his family: look to God for the strength, courage & faith that you will need to help you during this time. Know that you will go through many feelings during the next year and all of those feelings will be normal. You may be angry, hurt, lonely and confused, but time will help with some of that...however, time will not take away all of the pain & loneliness. As for me, there are still days that I just want to stay at home & cry but I just take one day at a time. There are many people out there who are thinking about you & praying for you. I pray that your Officer Taylor has met mine....on the beautiful streets of Heaven.
God Bless You,

Eric,
Rest in peace my brother. Your wife and kids will be in my thoughts and prayers. Even though many of us who attended your funeral on Friday never met you, we were there out of respect for you as a brother. You were honored by so many out of town officers... you would have been proud. May you find comfort in the mercy of a loving God.
