To my brother, it has been 8 long years since you were taken from us. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. As time goes by the pain lessens but a part of us will always be with you. You are always with us in song, memory and prayer. Loving and missing you always and forever.

Dear Son; It's been 8 years since you left us and each day is like an eternity. We miss you and all your goofy ways. You could always make us feel better- no matter what the situation was. Life goes on but a part of us went with you on that terrible day. We love and miss you with all our hearts. Until we meet again I know you are safe in God's arms.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 8th 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.

Time never diminishes respect and your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I hold your family in my heart's embrace today. To your family, thanks for sharing in your reflections your eternal devotion to your beloved Wally. His picture shows such a handsome man wth an amazing smile and I am sure that is how he greeted the world.

Rest In Peace

Once again the anniversary of you being called away has arrived. It will be a long day for those that love you, longer than usual as I know they think of you each and every day since you have been gone. They will never forget you. Continue to watch over them and protect them.

Merry Christmas Dear Son. Another Holiday without your smiling face .We'll be reminiscing about all the good times we had when you were with us. Although we try to laugh about the things you did; the laughter soon turns to tears. We all love and miss you very much and know that we'll be together again eventually. May you be happy and safe in God's loving arms. Your Loving Family

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones on this very blessed holiday. I know that at the dinner table you will be the topic of conversation and that is how it should be as true heroes never die and their names will continue on forever. Keep watch over all of your loved ones and let them feel your presence as it never gets any easier to be without someone we love dearly.
