how are you calling up the thickbox modal window?
if it's a js function/jquery event binding that opens the modal on click
of a link, just pass the id you retrieved to it and append it to the url
string, i.e.:
$("a.editManager").click(function() {
var id = $(this).arrt('id');
tb_show("EditSitemanager",
"../modals/siteManagerEditForm.cfm?height=425&width=500&modal=true&id="+id,
false);
}
);
