I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Lane Family and the officers and staff of the Beaumont Police Department over the tragic loss of Sergeant Mike Lane. Once again another brother officer has been taken from the thin blue line. May God bless the Lane Family and the officers & staff of the Beaumont Police Department during this very sad time. May our brother Mike rest in peace. Mike will now patrol the streets of Heaven with St. Michael and his angels. Never forget the fallen hero!

Mike will be greatly missed. I have so many memories of him from growing up in the same church. My favorite is when he took me up in his plane about 15 years ago when we were in the valley on a mission trip. He and his wife have always been such precious Christian people. Heaven truly has another angel in blue. Our prayers are with the family.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"
