I truly believe that as our mission of tending the Lords sheep is complete, he calls us to a higher duty. It is once again that the Lord has called one of our family members to stand with him. Ofc. Herring-Patrick was called to stand with our Lord and savior. Rest easy my sister for you have completed your mission and your sacrifice will never be forgotten. You will be in our hearts forever.

I rather be a door keeper at the house of the Lord then to dwell in tents among wickedness. To the Officers and Family of Officer Patrick. Some times we ask why things must be, but God in his great widsom has made it beyond our powers to see. Looking back in tenderness, looking back in tears, cherish the years, remember the laughter you had with Shelia and leave the rest to God.

While on Active Duty with the Air Force Reserves, and as a Virginia State Trooper, I wish to extend my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Officer Herring-Patrick. As we all serve to protect and defend the means of freedoms in society whether foreign or domestic, I deeply regret the tragedy that has taken my fellow officer in the pursuit of her duties.
May the life force behind her shield be ever present and our memories of her remain strong.

I just wanted to say that my thoughts are with the Norfolk Police Department and the family and loved ones of Off. Herring-Patrick. While people were sleeping and getting ready for the next day, you were protecting them. I am sure by your act of courage and bravery you saved many more lives, including your fellow brothers and sisters in blue. The Police Unity Tour will ride in your memory this year and many years to follow. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

Your dedication will go with you to heaven's streets, and your devotion to duty will serve as an example to the others you leave behind. I wish a comforting peace and closure to your loved ones. God speed to your next assignment under God's command. You've done well.

I know exactly what this family is and will be going through. My heart and especially my prayers are with this officer's family, friends, and the co-workers. May you also be remembered as the HERO that you are. May you rest in peace....................John 15:13

The thin blue line is thinner today, but its mystery is that it will never disappear. As long as there are men and women willing to pin the badge on everyday and walk through the "valley of the shadow of death", the thin blue line survives! As long as there are those among us willing to be the difference between good and evil, between right and wrong, the thin blue line, the great equalizer, continues through our nation wrapping itself around the world! We police officers are a resilient gang...we will carry on the mission that we have chosen. We must! To honor the memory of Officer Herring-Patrick, and the many who have gone before her, we must carry on. To the family of Officer Herring-Patrick: My words will never fill your void...ever...I will not even try. My prayers, and the nation's, are with you all. To the Officers of the Norfok Police Department: Dig down deep and search for the fortitude and the courage to do what you have to do. Let the thin blue line envelope you. Lean on each other. Remember Sheila...EVERYDAY and never forget her family! Honor her by honoring them every chance you get.

You truly are a hero. God Bless You and rest in peace.
