For 18 weeks we sat beside each other in the academy. Even on those rough days, you always had that enthusiasm and heart and could always make me laugh. I saw that same enthusiasm and heart once we were on the street. You were an outstanding officer, father, and friend and I miss you terribly. I still can't believe your gone, but I guess God had bigger and better plans for you.

You don’t remember me, do you…


You don't remember me, do you...
I was the one who unlocked your car
after you accidently locked the keys and your baby up at the mall.
I was the one who gave you a ride to the gas station
when you ran out of gas on that back road.
I was the one who changed your tire
because you couldn't figure out how to work the stupid scissor jack.
I was the one who directed you safely through that busy intersection
when the traffic signals weren't working.
I was the one who gave you a jump start
after you left your lights on.


You don't remember me, do you...
I was the one who found the item
that identified the guy who raped your daughter.
I was the one who spent my off days in court
to testify and help convict the man who beat your son so badly.
I was the one who located your grandmother in the woods
that night it was 22 degrees
and she had wandered away from the nursing home.
I was the one who loaned you the raincoat
the night we stood and watched your house burn.
I was the one who talked with you for two hours
about your son running away from home.


You don't remember me, do you...
I was the one who held your hand,
wiped the blood out of your eyes, and calmed you down
while the Fire Department cut you out of what was left of your car.
I was the one who called you at 2 a.m.
to come pick up your 16 year old daughter
because she had been drinking too much.
I was the one who knocked on your door at 4 a.m.
to let you know your 16 year old daughter
would never be coming home again.
I was the one who did CPR on your 3 year old
after you found him in the pool.
I was the one who helped deliver your new baby
when you didn't quite make it to the ER


You don't remember me, do you...
I was the one who got the snake out of your bathroom
around midnight.
I was the one who got my knees and elbows scraped up
fighting with the shoplifter with your cartoon of cigarettes.
I was the one who took your son for a "ride-along"
so he could see what it was really like.
I was the one who gave you the right directions
so you wouldn't miss that business meeting.
I was the one who stopped you
to let you know your right tire was going flat.


You don't remember me, do you...
I was the one who escorted your son's funeral procession
from the church to the cemetary
and cried behind my sunglasses because he was my friend, too.
I was the one who watched over your place
while you were on vacation.
I was the one who worked for you on Christmas Day
so you could be off with your family.
I was the one who joked around with you
after your truck got hit by a train
and you walked away without a scratch.
I was the one who was able to talk your husband
into going into counseling with you.


You don't remember me, do you...
I was the one who got shot when I pulled over a car
for a traffic violation and the driver turned out to be an escaped convict
who had sworn he would never go back to prison.
Oh, by the way, my memorial service is at 3 p.m.

Will you remember me now?

We Will Remember that smile Officer Freeman.

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Officer Freeman, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closestTo the family, friends, and officers that knew Deputy Triplett, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and your department. Rest in peace my brother.

I have been where you fear to go…
I have seen what you fear to see…
I have done what you fear to do…
All these things I’ve done for you.
I am the one you lean upon…
The one you cast your scorn upon…
The one you bring your troubles to…
All these people I’ve been for you.
The one you ask to stand apart…
The one you feel should have no heart…
The one you call the man in blue…
But I am human just like you.
And through the years I’ve come to see…
That I’m not what you ask of me…
So take this badge and take this gun…
Will you take it? Will anyone?
And when you watch a person die…
And hear a battered baby cry…
Then so you think that you can be
All those things you ask of me…?

Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on
the love that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into you, and allow your soul the freedom to sing , dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

May you never be forgotten...

Eric,
I have sat here and thought of what to say numerous times, but still cannot find the words to say. You were a fine officer, as well as a great father and husband. You will never be forgotten. I just can't stop thinking about the last time I was really around you and we gave you your first redbull. haha! You sure were a character man. Watch over everyone with Kelso. Hope to see you again one day.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Freeman and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Officer Freeman has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Freeman, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Freeman is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

For those who pledge to uphold it, Freedom requires a sacrifice the protected will never know.

Eric and I were friends for years before he became a Police Officer. This was truely his dream. I will never forget how excited we were when he got into the academy. Eric did not die in vain. Yes we question why it had to be this way but he was a proud man- an most of all a proud Officer. It was ironic that he worked at Huntsville Hospital with us for so many years- and his friends at that same hospital fought to save his life. People don't know the bond that the Police and EMS share. Eric was family to us and he will be missed.
