My incredible Sister, Mother, Mentor in blue. I (Officer Busby) FTO Affirm and Swear that I will live and work by your example because you were my mentor. I worked with you on morning watch for 5 years and relied on you for encouragement, back up and advise. You were very special to me. I only hope and pray that God saw it fit that you didn't suffer for one second and as soon as that light on the vehicle approached you, your soul was taken away to be with the angels in heaven. You will be forever in our memory. Your daughter Jazmine is a fine example of you(Good Job). Now that you have been laid to rest up on that hill where the City Of Atlanta is in plain view, watch over us Law Enforcement servants and like I promised to live by your example we will definately see again.
GOD BLESS YOU AND PEACE BE WITH YOU

I am a police officer in DC with Georgia roots and I was so sorry to hear about this tragedy. I know God is good, and I feel so blessed after watching the video from your collegues and pictures from your funeral via the web. It always pains me when bad things happen to such good people. Like you I've backed up other officers on traffic stops and you just never know if that run will be your last. The entire Atlanta Police Department and Jazmine have my family's deepest condolences. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and my prayers as you mourn the loss of this courageous sister in blue. I salute you Gail Thomas.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you touched many lives . And gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
...Deepest Sympathy To Family And Friends Of Senior Police Officer Gail Thomas....God Bless You All .....

Another senseless tragedy
Another day of grief,
Another day of praying
To help us find relief.

Relief from bitter anguish
Relief from rage so great,
Relief from lenient justice
Which continues to seal our fate.

Relief from heartache's torment
As we continue on,
Oh, the awesome loss of brotherhood
Now that you are gone.

Though our hearts are deeply broken
And our tears forever flow,
There's a comforting assurance
That now with God you go.

We know that you are welcome
Now at Heaven's gate,
While meeting brothers & sisters
Who also met such fate.

The family of Law Enforcement
Knows no distance here or there,
And we recall in comfort
You await us there.

To the Family:

May the love of God's peace keep you during this time of sorrow. No words can express or take the place of how you are feeling right now, but know that she is in a better place and you will see her again.

Gail never met a stranger and she always had a smile on her face. I'm sure she is in heaven smiling for God and looking down on all of us and saying be strong, don't cry, for the tragedy that took place on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 was in God's plans and now I'm in his Hands.

I'm originally from Georgia, in the navy now moving around. Haven't been to Georgia in over a year, but it always is hard to hear about something so close to home. I can tell just by your picture that you were a pleasant person and I'm sure you loved your job. Thank you for all of your hard work, and I am so sorry that this happened to you. Rest in peace sister, you deserve all the respect and prayers you are getting.
