Thomas, Another year has approached us on the anniversary of your death. I often hear that when you die you are in a better place and that you are happy. In my heart I know i am being selfish, but I wish you were here with us. I keep remembering hearing your voice and how good you were to everybody and that is what keeps us going. You have a new little nephew which you probably know and we will continue to keep your memory alive by telling them all the wonderful stories of you. Maybe you were taken to this better place to help other people as they arrive in heaven. Dad and I miss you so much and love you and we want you to know we were always proud of you. Happy four years in heaven. Love always, Mom and Dad

Hey Thomas......This Wednesday will be four years that you have been in heaven. I miss you. We all do. Sunday we attended a mass in your memory. We remember you every day. We went on a hayride last weekend through the pumpkin field...again we thought of you and wished you were there with us. You loved the fall and halloween time. I'll never forget the huge pumpkin you brought home to mommys's. I dont know how you even lifted that. Thanks for all the great memories....we love you and wish you a happy day in heaven.

Sgt. Flannery told me a story about you not too long ago. He told me of how you used to spend your lunch break every day at PBL and Village, by Darcy Hall, just to make sure the senior citizens were able to cross the road safely. I could picture you standing there as if I had seen it myself. Next Wednesday will be four years since you were called upon and you still continue to inspire. The Law Enforcement community in South Florida has been hit hard lately. It is the memory of you and the person you are that enables us to continue to fight the seemingly endless fight. My heart still hurts every time I see or hear of your family, but I know you are taking very good care of them. Continue to watch over us all as we serve in your memory. We miss you and will always love you Tom!

Soon it will be 4 years since you were called away from duty. I know that during the past 4 years there has not been an hour that has gone by that someone that loves your dearly had thoughts of you. The first thought they have when they awake each morning is of you and the last thought they have before dropping off to sleep at night is of you. You will never be fogotten. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones, especially your parents for I know their grief. The loss of a child is forever and there is no greater pain. You are a true hero.

Thomas: Today marks 46 months since you left us. There is not a day that goes by where we don't think about you, your smile, your laugh, and especially your kindness. We took the kids to Adventure Land today and I remembered how you were there with us only a month before your death, laughing as you went down the log flume with the kids. The memory was so clear, I felt like it was only yesterday. Please stay close, as I know you watch over us. I miss you very much. Love, Your Sister, Donna

Tommy,

Like others feel, I still can't belive that you are gone. You left and instilled alot of your ways and kindness. I still remember you riding to see us when I was in motor school, and all the helpful hints you gave me. I remember your kind words approach to everything. The neutral way you could defuse any disagrement between any one.

My brother it's been 4 years since you left us so sudden. I can tell you this, you will never be forgoten here, don't forget any of us up there. Keep a watch out for us, one day we will meet again. I always take the long route to court, just so that I may say a prayer for you as I drive by the accident scene where you were taken from us. You will always be in my prayers and thoughts... god bless you Tommy!

Dear Thomas:
On Saturday, 12 MAy 2007, I went to the cemetery to bring flowers to my Mom for Mother's Day. While there, my wife and I took our 2 year old son, and we sat on the bench by your grave site. Looking at your headstone, and at the beautiful bench made in your honor, I had to wipe away my tears.
Though we never met, we both are from the same county, both do the same job, and you are resting close to my parents. I am certain that they feel honored to have a police officer resting near them. My Dad always idolized the police, and having a son who is a Detective for PBSO, and having you near them, has him smiling for certain.
Like all our brethren who have made the ultimate sacrifice, you too, were taken away from all of us much too soon. But, like our fallen brethren, you will not be forgotten.
Now that I know where you are resting, when I visit Mom and Dad, I'll come by to say hello, and offer a prayer of gratitude and thanks...to you and your family. May our Father in Heaven hold you close to His heart, and your family know the peace and love of Jesus Christ forever. Thank you for a job well done. Rest in peace, amen.

To Thomas ....Our Shining Star.....Another Christmas has come and you are not here. Christmas was one of your favorite holidays. You always enjoyed spending the day with all of your family and friends around you. I'm hoping now that you are enjoying Christmas in heaven and that you are looking down upon us knowing that we are all thinking of you and missing you. Forever in our hearts and memories......Love, Mom and Dad........Merry Christmas Thomas.

My thoughts are with your loved ones during this holiday season. I know each day is a real challenge to get through but holidays are even tougher. I have decorated the outside of my home for Christmas in all blue lights. One of those lights will be lit every night in your honor until New Years as my way of saying you are a true hero and have not been forgotten. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones.

To the family of Officer Morash...My husband left my in March of 2005....I took my kids from Virginia, and moved close to my family here in south Florida....it's been at least a year now, but I saw the "in memory of" on a vehicle...so I went to this website and looked up Officer Morash..then I read the news articles involving his death....I was heart broken for you all...since moving to Florida, the one thing I miss is my family in blue...the bond that we share....I feel like I am a million miles away from the blue line now....anyway, last week I saw the truck with the memorial on it.. near where I live....I thought you may have noticed my car also as I went by...I have the memorial magnet on the back...I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you...I hope that one day we will meet...I would really enjoy spending time with someone else who could actually understand what I am going through...maybe we could meet in DC... I will be there this year..last year Drew's name was added to the wall...police week was so soothing to me..to be able to laugh or cry with the "family"...I hope that you all are doing well....
much love, Chrissy Henley

Happy Thanksgiving. Thinking of you.

November 23, 2006

Three years have past and we still cannot believe you are gone. We try to focus on all the wonderful memories and good times we had and especially what a good son you were. You will always be close in our hearts. We are told that it gets easier, but so far it hasn't. We just take it day by day. Our thoughts and prayers are always with the families of all the Police Officers that lost their lives in the line of duty. Thomas we love you. Love, Mom and Dad
