Upon the markers of their graves
Our heroes etched in names we save
For all the life they gave with pride
To keep the peace within life's stride

To honor serve and do their best
To keep us safe through any quest
They gave up what was theirs to share
Their spirits shall be always near

No fear within the hearts and minds
To keep us safe within our times
The glory that is ours to see
Those special hearts of bravery

They have walked where no man dare
Their lives in danger with no care
For they have given all they could
For their courage we have stood

In awe of every one who gave
His life for others who they saved
So we will know their contribution
Their firm resolve and resolution

For those they left with hearts so broken
In every whispered word that's spoken
We bow our heads in confirmation
In every word life's revelation

Those who stand within their shoes
Will follow courage as they choose
And give to all the best they had
They carry on with spirits glad

We will know that they walked through
With colors bright and hearts so true
No Island stands alone they say
For heroes they are born this way

Protecting those with loyalty
A glimpse of so much royalty
Within the years of courage bound
These officers have earned their crown

Upon the earth we shall remember
The special goals and all their thunder
That proves a hero came our way
Who left their hearts on earth to stay.

Rest in peace, brother. Your service and sacrifice will not be forgotten. The dedication to your brother officer earned you a place patrolling the streets Above. You are a true warrior worthy of the eternal assignment you have just been granted.

Help your family to find strength during this time so that they may face your absence with the same courage you had in performing your duties. Let them find solace in knowing that they were instrumental in making you who you are and that you will be watching over them from Paradise. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Pass the sword now and we will carry it until we are called home to join you and all the warriors of justice who have gone before us.

To the wife and children of Officer Jones,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and dad. I know that no words will take away the shock and hurt you are feeling, but please know that you are in my prayers and the prayers of many others. I pray that God will give you strength in this time ahead and that you all will be comforted by his love.

I know that the hurt and pain seem so overwhelming right now, but the memories do eventually make you smile and laugh again through the tears.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

I worked with Cpl. Jones at Beaufort County Detention Center , and that is where I first Met Mark. We became good friends,and when he went to work for Hardeeville, he would invite me to ride along with him. He soon had me hooked on Police work, and not long after introduced me to some people at Jasper County Sheriffs Office. Well that rest is History, I have worked here for 2 years. I would like to thank Mark for his friendship, loyalty, and good humor he provided to everyone he encountered, and the lives he touched.
Mark we Love You and will Miss You,
Your Brothers in Law Enforcement.

THE SEASONS OF THE SOUL

When you feel cast down and despondently sad
And you long to be happy and carefree and glad,
Do you ask yourself, as I so often do,
Why must there be days that are cheerless and blue?
Why is the song silenced in the heart that was gay?
And then I ask God, "What makes life this way?"
And His explanation makes everything clear
The soul has its seasons, the same as the year.
We, too, must pass through life's autumn of death
And have our hearts frozen by winter's cold breath.
But spring always comes with new life and birth
Followed by summer to warm the soft earth.
And, oh, what a comfort to know there are reasons,
That souls, like nature, must too have their seasons.
Bounteous seasons and barren ones too,
Times for rejoicing and times to be blue.
For with nothing but "sameness" how dull life would be,
For only life's challenge can set the soul free,
And it takes a mixture of both bitter and sweet
To season our lives and make them complete.
(Author - Helen S. Rice)

God Bless Officer Jones, his cherished family, friends, and co-workers.
