Reflections for Trooper Eric Michael Workman

It is really sad to hear very sad news like this one in particular. I have a lot respect for State Troopers, especially for those working in West Virginia. I know how hard is for them to do their jobs over there. People have little respect for Law Enforcement Officers there, and Troopers have to deal with all kinds of people on a daily basis. God Bless them all.

Two very brave and courageous men have given their lives for their community. They are true heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice. I hope the community will show its outrage, as well as appreciation for the sacrifice Trooper WORKMAN and his partner made. My deepest sympathies and prayers to the family, friends and brother/sister Troopers of Trooper WORKMAN and Cpl. BAILEY. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. May God bless you and your families. AC

I recall several months ago you and I became friends on facebook. When I heard of the shooting I hoped and prayed that it wasnt you. I knew you had a family. Thank you for your service to the people of West Virginia. We will never forget you sir.

Had the honor of attending your funeral and what a great young man and trooper you appeared to be. We would have had fun swapping stories about baseball and sports. Rest in peace, brother Trooper.

"Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of GOD." This Beatitude characterizes the very nature of professional law enforcement officers. Both these young men are now with our "Heavenly Father." My prayers and condolances to their families but be comforted that you will see them again in Paradise.
