Yesterday when Daddy and I were at Harold Reid's funeral a man came up to me and said somebody he worked with was very close friends with you. He said his friend spoke very highly of you. Of course it was Keith!
Love you so much!

My friend:
I just want to tell you that I have really made a quality decision with my life. I have fought it for years--wanting to do my own thing---you know, living for me and doing what I felt like doing. Well, as of this day I am a new person and i know I know it is because of God but my friend it is because of you and your influence on me. To be honest with you there were times when things woul dhappen and you would just shake it off and I would think how in the world can he do that---he deserves to get even.
Thanks for being my friend and one of these days we will be together always. Thank you, Lance, for your life which is still living on i me and in those of us who were really "a little family of own." It truly was a special bond.
Thanks seems to inadequate.

My friend:
I thought about you on September 11. We were on our way to the district meeting in 2001
when we heard the news and you and the rest of us couldn't believe it. I remember you called your Mama and Daddy and of course, Jessie. Oh, that life could have been different but we are so thankfull for what time we knew you. We know you are not physicaly there with us but boy we knew you are there in our hearts. Think about you ever day.

Hey there, Lance:
Still miss you and find it hard to believe that it will soon be 7 years! We were so priviledged to have Jacob with us for a couple days last month and he is such a wonderful little boy (you knew that already, didn't you?) and we see so much of you in him. God is good!
My rose bush is blooming again!
Until that day-----------
I love you so much,
Mama

Hi,there, my old buddy and friend:
Well,these seasons come and go-seeminly faster and faster.
It goes without saying that I always think about you whenever I wonder what you would do in a sitution. Lots of things change but my respect for you will never change and I just wanted to tell you again how much your friendship meant to me---I only wish it could have lasted forever. It was such a privilege to meet you ans spend almost four years with you. I do know this, we will meet again. I see your family from time to time! You were so fortunate to have such a loving family and everyone seemed to show such love and respect for each other.
One day..............................we will reunite!

As we have been watching the September 11 news of 8 years ago and as I watched those men rescuing people and even finding those who didn't make it I told my wife that I could see you in all those brave men. It still amazes me how calm you could be when under pressure and could keep a cool head. My only regret is that I didn't have longer to spend with you. May God continue to bless your wonderful family. One of these days we will see you again!

Love ya, my friend.

Still shaping lives, still influencing lives and still that small "witness" and that quiet demeanor you had about you that made all who came in contact with you sensed your strong inner strength. I am so thankful I stayed in law enforcement and didn't bail out like I wanted to. You are still my hero!
I wish I knew all the people you have touched and witnessed to by saying nothing at times!

Your dear friend and who would give anything to have just one more hour with you! Think of you each day.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 6th 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

In reading the loving reflections, I see that you are missed and loved by many and that you had a profound impact on the lives of others. I hold your family and friends in my heart's embrace today. To Lance's Mom, i share your anquish in losing a beloved child and know there is no greater sorrow.

I drove by your folk's house the other day and thought about all the wonderful times we used to have. Never a day goes by that I don't think about you. You were such a wonderful friend and I will never, ever forget you and all that you meant to me.

See you later!

I cannot believe that it has been nearly six years since since you "crossed over." Yet, somedays, it seems it has been forever.
We went over to see Jacob Lance graduate from kindergarten last month. He is such a fine little boy and he is so much like you. We love him so much!
We think of you each and every day and we love you so much!
It was a privilege to be your mother for 32 years!

I love you so much! Until then........

It is hard to believe that it will soon be six years since you "crossed over."

Until then,

Just wanted you to know how much I love you!!! I can't tell you the number of times each day that I think of you. You continue to be such an inspiration to all of us. You would not believe how Sydney has grown--- She got her driving permit last week!!! Which I'm sure you are aware and got a big kick out of it. We continue to share stories with Kendall about you. She just laughes and talks like she knows you!!She would have you in stitches all the time. You two would have probably gotten into lots of trouble!!! Continue to enjoy your surroundings---Until we see you again. Love you so much!!!

Once again we are getting ready for hunting season and we were talking the other day how we missed you and still think about you each and everyday. So many things we learned from you we are still putting to good use. It is amazing how we try to do the things like you would.
We will "hunt" together again!
