On May 25, you paid the ultimate sacrifice you laid down your life for your fellow man.


Even though we never met we are all brothers, and today
We all mourn for you.
We shed a tear for you
We say a prayer for you
We salute you
We all thank you for being a part of the brother hood

May God bless you and your family and our brothers and

Sheriff's Office: "Headquarters to M10..."
M10: "M10..."
Sheriff's Office: "Be in route to Pearly Gates, reference 10-84."
M10: "10-4..."
Sheriff's Office: "Proceed 10-18. Caller does want to make contact."
M10: "Clear...in route..."

On the radio, Deputy Mike Thomas was Bibb Sheriff's Office motor unit M10. To me, he was simply my friend Mike.

I know that you are in a better place my friend, but I can't help but to think of how much you will be missed. Bibb CO was lucky to have you as a deputy, and I was lucky to call you my friend.

APO Jeff Conner

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
We pray for your family and all who knew you, and we will never forget you were a HERO.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
