On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Eric was killed.

To the Eslary family, fellow officers, and all who call Eric beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Lt. Eslary gave to his community and the citizens of Pennsylvania, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on May 5, 2015.

"Blue Spirited Watch"

Even though the many Law Enforcement Officers from all of our Neighboring Countries around this world have Fallen and Ended their Watch.

Their Devoted Spirits have Risen and are now carrying on their destinies up above in Heaven while awaiting to be rejoined in the distant future by the ones they love.

On May 5th,2015 the LawEnforcement Community lost Lt Eric Eslary due to a Van driven by an individual who was from the same town as Lt Eslary, the driver of the Van was going the wrong way,and also more than likely Drunk.
I was Honored to have worked with K9 Officer Lt Eslary and his two K9 partners Ando and Blek through his many school functions and through my work in the Sheriff's Office, Lt Eslary was always there to lend a hand. And what an Honor to be a part of his Funeral Service and the Processional to see the many men and women from LawEnforcement Agencies from all over the state and out of state, what Pride that shows from the LawEnforcement Community and all the people who lined the streets and placed there hand over there hearts, waved flags,saluted us as we drove by PRICELESS. LT Eslay, gone from this Earth, but never from our Hearts. I want all who knew Lt Eslary To place there own hand over there Hearts, because as long as our heart is Beating We will feel his because that is where he is now and we will always have him with us until we walk the Beat that he is now with The Heavenly Father. Rest Brother Eslary,We will take the watch from here. God Bless, Believe, and See You Soon.

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 Ligonier Township Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
