Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

little did i know that today 3 years ago would be the last time i felt your strong arms around me, the last time you held my hand and the last time you kissed me good night.
Then you were taken from us and our whole world just fell apart....we had so many wonderful plans. I ask myself every day, why did it have to be you ? A hard working, loving and caring man, a man that was always there for everybody ....the only answer i could come up with was....... they needed a great person like you in heaven.
I know you are watching over us and you can see how our little girl is growing up...she looks so much like you. We tell story's about you every day and then we laugh and sometimes we cry. We miss you so very much and i will cherish the last moments we had together for ever because i remember them like it was yesterday.

I love you

I cannot believe you are gone three years now. The news of your death still echos in my head like it just happened, but it feels like years and years since i last saw you. I miss you. We all miss you. I don't think anybody really knows how special of a brother you are. It took a big piece out of all of us when you died. Mom and Dad always try to be strong but they cry for you everyday. They love you so much and it's killing them to know that you are gone. Noone can take your place. I wish you could just come back. All the kids are getting bigger and they all miss you. There is never a family gathering that they don't mention you. You are an awesome uncle. Even little T.J. knows just how special you are. Anyway......HAPPY THIRD ANNIVERSARY IN HEAVEN! You are very deeply missed and I can promise you...you will never ever be forgotten.

Love ya forever, Michele

I came across your name somewhere in the reflection pages and wanted to visit your personal page. My thoughts are with your loved ones for I know their pain as I walk in their shoes. You are a true hero Thomas and will never be forgotten by your loved ones nor will the Blue Family ever let you be forgotten. Keep watch over your loved ones and those officers still out on patrol. I know your parents would trade places with you in a heart beat so that you could be back here with your loved ones living out your lifes dreams, I would do the same for my son as that is what is called a parent's love. There is no greater loss than to lose a child as we are not suppose to out live you guys. Keep watching over everyone and I know they will do everything they can to keep your memory alive forever.

I just wanted to make sure that you knew that we still think of you often. I know that you are busy watching over your family and our department. Your every day smile is something, that in this job is much needed, and yours is sorely missed. We will continue to carry the torch, with pride, in your name. God bless you my friend.

Hi Thomas...... I just went on your memorial page.....Ive been thinking about you alot and wonder what you would of been doing today if you were still here. It made me so happy to see that other people have been thinking of you also lately, besides your family. I feel your spirit is very much alive and all around our family most of the time. But it just isnt the same as seeing you at least two or three times a year. When we talk to Tatyana and Andrea we wish you would get on the phone next so we can hear your voice. Anyway,just want you to know we all miss you today as much as the first second you left us. Not a day goes by that your name is not mentioned or a story or a memory is shared by someone in your family. Thomas we love you. Have a good day in heaven today.

February 28, 2006

Tommy,
Though it has been a while, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You are still missed. I know that you are out there still riding next to all of us watching over. Until we meet again my friend.

Thomas, I will always remember that day, when you picked up your motorcycle boots and came by the Mall to try them on.
You were so proud to be going to the motors and we were so sad you were leaving us.
We remember you daily.

Brother Morash,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

To the family and friends of Officer Morash and his fellow officers with the West Palm Beach Police Dept., and most especially to Officer Morash:

Today it has been two years since your tragic death. Officer Morash, your valor and dedication are not forgotten.

I hope that your family is still embraced by the care and comfort of their law enforcement family, and other police survivors.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Officer Morash gave to his community and the citizens of Florida, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on October 17, 2003.

Tom -

It was so great to see your wife and brother at Police Week this past year for the second time. I met your whole family at Police Week for the first time when my fiancee was killed, and if it wasn't for them - I probably never would have laughed. I just remember them on the bus and you couldn't help but smile around them. I am sure you know what I mean. They are great people. They made me smile when I needed it most.

I think of your wife often and pray she is doing well. What a strong woman she is. Thank you for your sacrifice., I never knew you but thank you for sharing your family with me - even for the brief time I knew them.

Thank You -

When I think of Thomas Morash, I think of the Palm Beach Mall and Express (the store). I was 16 years old when I met Officer Morash. He used to patroll the mall. My boyfriend at the time (now husband) got a job a Jarman. It was the Palm Beach Mall where my husband met Officer Morash as well. He was a great person! He always smiled and waved - always took time out to speak to my husband and myself. My husband is a soldier in the Army National Guard. He always wanted to be a cop, it was officers like Officer Morash that inspired my husband! My husband was deployed to Iraq in January of 2003. He was granted leave October 16th 2003. We attended Tom's funeral during Brian's 2 week leave. It hit home hard for us, because Officer Morash ALWAYS went out of his way to give us a "Hey" or a wave! He will be greatly missed. I think about him often, and pray for his wife and daughter. Although we never met, I thought it was appropiate for those in his family to know that he touched SO many people's lives! My husband is a Cop in Broward County now! Thanks for inspiring my husband Tom!! We miss you greatly.

Although our lives drifted apart, I still always thought of you as my friend. My childhood was enriched because of your friendship and now that you're gone there's a piece of me gone as well. I take comfort however that your echo will resonate in my heart for the rest of my days.

In loving memory of P.O. Morash:
It is sad to read these reflections and see how much you were loved and are missed. A year is not nearly enough time to get over your loss, the wound is still so fresh. My thoughts are with your family, your wife and Tatyana and your law enforcement family. May God continue to walk you thru your valley of Grief. God bless. With love from one coast of America to the other,

I was away at a school in Alabama on the day Tommy went home. I will never forget the good times we had together in Community Policing and on the road. Thanks for the memories, your honesty and your selfless duty to the Officers and citizens of West Palm Beach.

You are sorely missed and never forgotten.
