Officer Talley, people will never understand what it takes to be called a hero. You are the true example of that; one who will place his life on the line to prevent others from being hurt or killed. Thank you for your service to the city, county, and state that you served in, but moreover thank you for serving in this great profession of law enforcement officers that understand the risk but march on anyway every day! I salute you brother and may the Lord welcome you home and you hear his voice saying "Well done thy good and faithful servant" Again thank you for your service sacrifice!

Words like sadness, tragedy and loss are heavy words but fortunately they will never out weigh words like hero, valor and infamy.

Basic words also don't ever seem like enough in times like this and they shouldn't. Extraordinary people deserve extraordinary words and they come from a God who loves us dearly. You are home now Officer Talley and you must let us continue the fight and fight we shall.

God protect and grant your family peace and grace from this day forward. R.I.P. You will never be forgotten your name is written in heaven.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Boulder Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

A BENEDICTION TO OUR FALLEN OFFICER ERIC TALLEY

We are in this place again--in need of God's Amazing Grace.
This time--remembering our fallen Officer Eric Talley and his service.

Today, we are bonded together by grief and gratitude
as we give our highest respect to his life and "sacred honor."

Thank you, Officer Talley, for being first to answer the call
You took the bullet, saving others in hatred's way.

You left a courageous legacy of public safety and community trust--
we see your beauty from ashes--we must, we must--salute you!

Thank you, Officer Talley, for serving and protecting our Boulder community;
however, your End of Watch came much too early.

Your family and friends, even strangers, cherish your name
and memories of your life.
We will always respect your "sacred honor" through your ultimate sacrifice.

Although the legacy of your dreams and stories was cut short,
we will carry on your legacy--it is the essence of your courage.

Our very souls are wounded by the loss of America's best.
May your family and friends find rest as daylight fades in the West.

Our Father in Heaven....
Help us we pray, as we rely on Your strong promise--
a promise that Your plans are good, giving us hope and a future.

Somehow, somehow--may we awaken with morning joy,
as we trust in You to see another sunrise.

We thank You for your gift of love--knowing your Son gave his life.
We confidently call on your name--knowing Your divine love pursues us.
Amen.

May Almighty God comfort us as we say farewell to our faithful
Law Enforcement champion Eric Talley, who served fearlessly.

We will hold him close in our hearts.
Without a doubt he will be greatly missed.

The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace. Amen.
[Numbers 6:24-26, NIV]
