My fiance, Dennis McElderry, was the first law enforcement casualty of 2003. It saddens me to know that Dennis was not the first to die in the line of duty, nor will he and Jim be the be the last to die this way.

Having gone through the pain of losing Dennis I can truly understand and feel the pain that Deputy Mulay's family, friends, and co-workers must be feeling. My heart goes out to his wife and children especially. I wish I could give you a few words of wisdom to help you through this tough time, but there isn't anything I can really say or do to make the situation better. Please know that my thoughts are with you.

Please accept my condolences on behalf of the McElderry family and remember that Jim is part of huge law enforcement family. If you ever need anything any number of them will be there for you (as I've quickly found out!) From reading the many reflections posted here, I am certain Jim was well respected and well loved. Thank you for a job well done and for helping to make this world a safer place for us all. Please take care of my fiance Dennis.

Peace, Love, Luck, and Happiness!

THE POLICEMAN'S LAST ROLL CALL ...

THE POLICEMAN STOOD AND FACED HIS 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 badges 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 just
got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with
fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept many 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 Lord, it needn't be so
grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, I'll understand."

There was 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 borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's
streets, you've done your time in hell."

To the wife,sons,parents,family and co-workers of Deputy Sheriff Mulay you are all in my thoughts and prayers. As a former police explorer and now explorer advisor, I have always thought about how terrible it would feel if an officer I knew, especially my Explorer Advisor, were to be killed in the line of duty. I must say that all of his Explorers will always remember him, and how proud they were to have had looked up to him. To Deputy Sheriff Jim Mulay you gave the ultimate sacrifice. You may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten. Hopefully one day some of your explorers will become officers and proudly serve in your memory. Now rest in peace. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Explorer Advisor Ryan Callow
Chesapeake Police Department

Please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Thank you Deputy Mulay for a job well done. Please continue to watch over us and protect us as only you can. You will forever be at our side and in our hearts.

For those of you who still have loved ones with us please take the time to tell them how much you appreciate and care about them.

IF I KNEW

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 would 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.

I attended the academy with Deputy Mulay, although we did not keep in touch afterwards, I am sure the pride and professionalism that he displayed in those few weeks carried over into the short time he was allowed to serve his comm-
unity.

He, his family and the Peoria County Sheriffs' Office are in our thoughts and prayers. May God Bless them all.

May God grant your family a comforting peace as you transcend this earthly bound.

You came prepared, to the end you'd fight.
But evil brought you to see the light.
You rest in peace looking down from above.
As a brother in this family you will always be loved.

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because it is honored by God.

To the family of Deputy Sheriff Jim Mulay and the Peoria County Sheriff's Department, your extended family of Law Enforcement Officers grieve with you during this time. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you during this most difficult time.

To all my brothers and sisters, please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in.
May God be with you every day, please remember, we are a part of the largest family in the world and when one hurts we all hurt.

Though our badges and uniforms may be different, our mission is the same. Rest in peace with our other fallen Brothers and Sisters. We will continue the fight in your honor.

Florida Deputy Sheriff

Jim,

Thank you for everything you taught our Explorers Post. All of us will remember something that you taught us. I will always remember your sense of humor and your love of the job as a police officer and volunteer firefighter. I'll miss you joking around with us and having our meetings at the firehouse. I was going to ask about a ride-along with you at our next meeting and now I won't get the chance. When I am a police officer, I know you'll be a rider in my vehicle always. You will be my backup to make sure that I'm safe as well as the backup for the rest of our Explorers and the Deputies as they continue their careers. You will be sorely missed by all of us and we wish that it didn't happen to one of the best. The Explorers will also do our part in helping your wife with the kids and different things around the house. Thank you Jim for being here with us, and teaching each and every one of the Explorers something different about police work. We will remember it always. Take care 4 Sam 18, we love you and will miss you. May God be with you and your family forever.
