Rest in peace Officer Lyles. I guess in this tragic instance your vest did not offer enough protection as the bullets must have pierced you in a delicate and dangerous part of your body. Always a North Carolina Hero who observes from God's highest of perches. The bad guys just have no sense of class or scruples. You deserved to live on with your wife and family.

27 years ago I lost you forever. There is never a day I do not mourn for you. Everything I have experienced in the last 27 years added together does not equal one single day of happiness I had with you. I would give everything, do anything, go anywhere to have you back to love and cherish you by my side again. Life was magical with you for the short time we had together. There has been no magic without you. I loved you then, I love you now, I will love you forever.

RIP my brother of the badge, God Bless your Family, Friends and Department. My Letter is in the mail this Morning and hopefully this POS suspect will never breath free air again. Thank You for your Service and Courage.

I am sitting here writing a letter to the parole board asking them to deny parole to the monster that killed you. It seems crazy to me that he, a two time killer can even be considered for parole. I know the anguish your family must feel at the thought that he could go free for I have lived it. My father Chief Andrew Williams of the Saluda police department was killed. I fought his killers parole every year for 15 till he died in prison. It is truly the most awful feeling to think they could go free. But things have changed today for I and many others are here to fight his parole so your family is not alone in this endeavor. Rest In Peace Terry Lyles you Deserve it.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 23rd anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. 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.

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Officer Kyles,

While reading your wife's reflections, it is apparent that you touched her life deeply. The love you shared with her is what we all strive for. Please watch over all of us who continue in this noble profession, and especially watch over your loving wife until she joins you in heaven. Until then, rest in God's loving embrace, hero. You will never be forgotten!

A young NC State Trooper, Shawn Blanton was killed recently. Terry, he is with you know. Along with many others that have been killed while walking the thin blue line, since 1990. We who are left behind, will never stop loving you, missing you and grieving for you. I pray for you brothers and sisters that on are the job, every day. I see your in the reflection of their patrol cars as they drive by me, sometimes. If you are able to help watch over them, from up there, I know you are. They need all the help they can get. I love them all. But I love you the most.
Your wife,
