"God looked around his garden, and he saw an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and he lifted you to rest-
God's garden must be beautiful-he always takes the best"


May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you. God Bless.

Love,
Jenny, Adriana, and Evelyn

Quiet, Confident, Strong, Dependable, Unconditional and a Reliable are just a few of the words that describe Tom... He was a man's man that gave of himself with all of his being. Let us all look beyond this tragedy and experience his "Gift to Us" his legacy, his inspiration... and may we all be so blessed as to put forth the effort to pass these gifts along to eachother.

Andrew was a quiet, God fearing man. In his quiteness he instilled peace and calm in others. He was a faithful church member and his presence will be deeply missed around First Baptist Piney Grove Church. He loved God and God loves him. We will surround the family with love and prayers.

I Met Andrew Thomas in October 1992. Andrew hired me as a Police Investigator with the Broward District Schools Police; Special Investigative Unit. Andrew's professionalism, his knowledge and his experience in Juvenile Law spoke for itself. Andrew's smile and his personality was warm and welcoming to all. As a Police Supervisor for the Broward District Schools Special Investigative Unit, Andrew's leadership and his professionalism will be missed. "Andrew God called you home, may you rest in peace." Love Angie Pollock and Family
