Your heroism and service is honored today, the 19th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

The circumstances of your death were tragic. May the killer's soul rot in hell for killing you and your babies.
What unendurable sorrow your spouse and other loved ones must have suffered.

Rest In Peace
