Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's Sunday morning, sitting here thinking about you. It's been 8 years today. It seems sometimes like it was yesterday. We miss you so much. Mobile lost another officer 9 days ago. It is cold this morning, I think it's about 27 degrees. I hate this time of year, Valentines, Mardi Gras. I guess one day I need to throw the valentine box away, it still have the plastic paper on it. We were planning on drive up to the hunting camp today, but it is going to be cold, so I don't know what we will do.. I love you so much..

Just learned of your passing my friend. So sad to hear of your loss. Even though we were stationed together a short time we became pretty good friends. I'll never forget our times out four wheeling with your two wheel drive Chevy or our times out flying patrols in the the thunderpigs(C-131). You will always be missed and remembered. We will meet again someday!

Just thinking of you and your family, our prayers are with you Matt. We showed up in Mobile in the middle of September and your name came up during our reunion. After researching we found out what happened. Old friend you are not forgotten! We named the old road that we used to drive on back in 1981 in your honor "Thompson Road", because you spent more time on that road trying to get unstuck. The pictures and fond memories are all i have. Thomas Dupont, Meridian, Ms.

Time seems to fly by, then other times it seems to be at a standstill. I can't believe tonight will be 7 years. It just doesn't seem real. I think about you all the time. I do not understand why life has to be so hard. I know you are proud of the kids, I am proud they have grown into such wonderful adults. I will make sure your grandson knows who you are and how much we love you. I know Matthew will make sure of it too. We love you and we never forget you. You are still as much part of our lives as ever, only your physical body is just not with us.

I love you.

Hey, We are Grandparents. Matthew and Ashlea had Baby Matthew on Friday, August 20, 2010. He is 8lb 5oz and 20 1/2 inches long. I am so proud of them. Matthew will be a great dad. We wish you were with us, but we know you are watching. We love you, miss you so much.

You know we lost Pat on July 16th. I am wondering if you have seen her yet. I told her to tell you that I love you and we all still miss you so very much. The kids and I have joked about Pat being with you and Mama in heaven, that you are probably going out of your mind. Harold is doing OKAY, if there is such a thing. Jennifer has the new baby, so I think that is helping her. Ashlea only has about 4 weeks left. There will be another Matthew Alan Thompson. We will be grandparents. Can you believe it?
It doesn't seem real.

We love you and miss you so very much.

Hey Baby, Haven't been able to look at your page for a long while now, do not know why. I miss you, momma, and it's hard with Pat being so sick. It's been six years now. I think sometimes it is actually getting harder. We are going to be grandparents, You already know that. Matthew and Ashlea are going to name him after you. I am so proud. It is hard to believe. Jennifer is due in May, Pat is so excited about it. I wish she could feel better. We are still praying for a miracle. Charrlene is ready to graduate. Danielle and Seth are doing good, updating the kitchen in the house. They are all grown up now and living their own lives and making new memories. We will never forget you and the memories we all have. I miss you so much. I love you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones and friends on this anniversary of your EOW. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You will never be forgotten.

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

On this the fifth anniversary of your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.

My heart is with all family members and friends who call you beloved. They are all in my thoughts and prayers today. I can see from the loving reflections left by your wife and soulmate and your loyal friends that you were an amazing man who is loved and missed by all those whose lives you touched.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Matt. I am so humbled by your valor and service.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Matt gave to his community and the citizens of Alabama, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 12, 2004.

Remembering you on what is I'm sure an extra somber day for your family and friends. I hope that as time passes their pain will ease. But rest in peace and with assurance that their memory of you and the way you lived and died will never fade.

Hey Baby,

It is hard to imagine that this is the 5th anniversary. It seems like yesterday. So much has happened in that time frame, Matthew and Charrlene graduated high school, Danielle graduated from college, Matthew got married, Danielle is getting married next month. Mama died last year, Pat is sick. It is true that life goes on. But how we wish we were here with us. I need you, we all need you. Not a day goes by that I do not think about you. The kids and I talk about you most everyday, sometimes it is just something silly. Are you and Mama fishing in heaven? I know she is getting you to bait her hook.

I love you, keeping watching over us.

Your loving wife

Matt, my friend, I was there when we went to get your family and that was the hardest thing I ever had to do . I learned so much from you the short time we worked together but I think of you everyday. I have since gotten out of law enforcement but I still have our squad picture in my living room. I have thought of your family many times but I don't know what to say other than we miss you and you will always be in my heart.
