It is a hurt that can not be explained when a friend and law enforcement brother leaves our presence on this earth but it is wonderful knowing where this journey is taking my ole friend. I will remember the Majors service to his calling and the great job that he did. To his family, I feel that we will see him again in the very near future in the twinkle of an eye. I pray that JESUS will give ya'll the spiritual ability to touch HIS robe to insure you that GOD is in control and Leonard Thomas though he died will live forever. PRAISE GOD, AMEN AND AMEN

To the Thomas family, words can not convey my deepest sorrow upon learning about Leonard's passing. We were childhood friends growing up in old East Macon, and I have many fond memories of our time playing together...on Elliott and Pear Street, as well as the river bottom. Leonard will be greatly missed.
