Your heroism and service is honored today, the first 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.

Rest In Peace.

I hope to one day meet some of your family at a COPS function. Until then, Erin and Darrell, know that your mom's spirit lives on in you. Death ends life, not a relationship.

I wanted to stop at your page and leave a short note to thank you for being the hero that you are. You will never be forgotten as heroes never die. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones. Come to them in their dreams so that they know you are near and watching over them. You have not been forgotten.

Mom told me once that she had always wanted to be like her daddy, and to make him proud of her. I hope he's told her now… There was nothing that she couldn't do. She was strong and very smart.. And there was nothing that made her happier than to help ANY living thing, From helping people in the community to rehabbing animals for the animal shelter. She was very nurturing at times, yet firm in her beliefs. And she'd tell you how she felt about anything she was passionate about in a heartbeat. I remember when her diabetes got bad and she was having seizures in the night and the time it was worst I remember perfectly, she sat straight up in the bed and looked into my eyes, and I saw nothing there in return. I remember thinking, "you cant leave now..." and when she was ok I begged her to do whatever it took to make her healthy. I told her that she seemed empty in her eyes, like she was dead, and all this time I thought surely it would be the diabetes that would take her from me… eventually. All the heartache I'm having over loosing her so tragically doesn't even compare to how glad I am that she doesn't have to suffer a slow death battling back problems, and side the effects of her diabetes or anything else she wasn't ever really happy with in this life... She was an angel on earth, more than kind hearted, and God saw fit to take her from her pains sooner rather than later. So she's the lucky one, right? I hate that her grandchildren will never really know her, just of her, because they are missing out on a great light to this world. I had many conversations with her wanting to understand why people in general aren't like us, and she always said it is just a choice that you make every day, and I will never forget that. I find comfort in knowing that my voice was the last she heard on that fateful day. I'll never know why my phone powered off and back on just before the accident, but I have good faith that God wanted to spare me the pain of hearing the accident as well as having to suffer through the hell I'm living currently. I know all things happen for a reason, and I know she died instantly because she had decayed vertebrates in her neck and had already been told she probably couldn't survive a bad accident again. So that guy, whoever you are, DID NOT hear her scream, if your neck is broken (which is what that hard of an impact would have done to begin with) you cant scream anything. That guy wasn't even close enough, therefore is not credible, much less even sober enough from what I hear… I wanted to thank everyone for their love, support, and prayers through this very difficult time. Darrell and I are missing a huge piece of our lives and our hearts and I think we both are feeling very lost not having her to talk to everyday. She was our mentor, our best friend, and our mother. She'd always be there no matter how bad the news, she'd stand by us… any of us in the family, and pretty much every friend she had could probably say the same. There was never a NEED for anything and she made sure of it. I don't think I will ever be the same and I think I will always be a little angry but I know deep down she's better off now. Again I thank each of you for every kind gesture you've given. I hope she knows now just how loved she really was here...



Waiting On An Angel

Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone

Now angel won't you come by me
Angel hear my plea
Take my hand, lift me up
So that I can fly with thee
So that I can fly with thee

And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won't be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms

So speak kind to a stranger
Cause you'll never know
It just might be an angel come
Oh - knockin' at your door
Oh - knockin' at your door

And I'm waiting on an angel
And I know it won't be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
Oh - in my angel's arms

Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone
Don't want to go
I don't want to go alone

To those who loved Officer Cox, 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 Kathy 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 Officer Cox for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. 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,

Erin & Darrell, Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine how difficult loosing your Mother must be for you for both of you. My thoughts also go out to her other family, friends & co-workers. Kathy was loved by many. The wonderful children she raised are a testament to the great person she was.

I think of you often
and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you,
no one will ever know
You wished no one farewell,
not even said good-bye,
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten
nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last,
I will remember thee.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
But to those who loved you dearly,
your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories we have of you.
To me, you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.


Kenny, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your service to the community also. We love you.

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with Officer Cox's husband, children, family, friends and co-workers. I was married to Alabama State Trooper Brian Nichols EOW 2/17/2002 and I am now married to Washington County Deputy Sheriff Aaron Carpenter. All of your C.O.P.S. family is here for you and hurting for you. We all became a family when our loved ones became police officers and now we have even a stronger bond when one of our family members goes down. We are here for you to help you along this journey you now have joined with us. God bless you all.
