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.
To her husband, daughter, and her other loved ones: I share your anquish in losing a beloved family member which I believe is life's greatest sorrow. Time never diminishes love. You are in my heart's embrace today. May God grant you solace.
Rest In Peace, Martha. Phyllis Loya

You were a tough parent through 24yrs of my life but through the years you've taught me how to love, be respectful, and how to go to God through good and bad times.
I remember my wedding day like it was yesterday. You worked just got off @ 5am and never got a wink a sleep but you made my day such a memorable one everything was beautiful. I love you and I'll miss you til we meet again

To those who loved Deputy Shareef, my heart goes to you all. Know that you're not alone in this journey you walk. I lost my fiance in the line of duty January 2003 and my world was forever changed. It's been a long hard road, and even as time as gone forward, and I've found many reasons and ways to smile, I still have not forgotten the man that he was. Dennis was a beautiful person and he forever has a part of my heart, just as I'm sure Martha will always be a part of yours.
It takes a special person to put their lives on the line everyday to make this world a little safer for us all. I know many of these men & women never would've thought of themselves as "heroes" but they were in so many ways. It's sad that it they had to lose their lives for some of us to see that. Having said that, thank you Deputy Shareef for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. I know this isn't a very manly thing to do, but if you happen to run into Dennis up there, please give him a big hug for the kids and I. Dennis was a good man and we miss him more than words can say.
Wishing those who loved you brighter and better days,

Martha,
I remember when I first transferred to the road at the sheriff's office on team 'A' you were my shift sergeant. You always had a smile and a positive outlook no matter what the situation. I never thought when I saw you in Baton Rouge for that class would be the last. May GOD bless you and your family.
Godspeed,
