Hi Rich,
I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you when I was driving to work today. I have been working in Lompoc for the last few months. As I was driving to work, I came up on a little green car, just like the one you used to drive. Remember the one you and the girls named “the turtle”? Anyways, it made me think of you and how much you have missed.

Diana is doing a great job raising the girls! You would be very proud of all of them! And Lauren, she is turning into a young lady, way to early… She was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. (When I took her shopping, people would stop me just to take a look at her.) She is still that beautiful. Sometimes, I think I would like to place her picture on your plaque at the Lompoc Police Department. She is very much like you. She has a strong personality, knows what she wants, is great with directions and thank God Diana & Brittany have her around for the electronics! And Brittany, she is so special; she is beautiful inside and out. She has the biggest heart and worries about both Diana and Lauren. She is working hard at school and has found a wonderful man. I know they will have a fantastic life together; they compliment each other very well. I am thankful to have both of these girls in my life. And Diana, she misses you so much! I wish she would do more for herself, she is always there for the girls and she needs to think of herself sometimes...

Well, I just wanted to say that I think about you often. Your absence has left a large hole in all of our hearts. Our family has been greatly changed by your death. We are still struggling to put the pieces back together. Keep watching over Diana and the girls, they love and miss you very much!

I've been thinking about today for weeks and then when it came, I almost forgot. I don't come here everyday like I used to, but I think about you all the time. I try to think positive. Things are getting better. I will always miss you.

OUR BABY GIRL IS GRADUATING FROM JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL!
I'm not quite sure how that is possible. She has grown up so much since you were taken from us 4 1/2 years ago, considering she wasn't quite 10yrs. old and now she's 14.
She is more like you every day. You would be so proud of her!
I wish you could be with her, she will be missing you even more that day. But we will be celebrating just as you would!

I Love You Still...
Forever Has No End
YOUR WIFE!!

She's 18 now. I threw a party for her just like you would have wanted. She even wore the ring you gave me when we got married. She's beautiful and you would be proud!

Sir, your story has touched my heart in ways I can't describe. Reading the reflections from your loving family bring tears to my eyes. Hope your family finds justice in whichever way, I pray for them. Rest in peace, Sir, you are a true hero.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 4th 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.

I was so relieved that you, your family and department received the measure of justice deserved for your brutal murder.

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


Rest In Peace

Rich May, Family, and Friends,

Bless you all on this day and every day. Shante, it has been a privilege to work with you and to know that you have a family of productive citizens who love and support each other no matter what. We often talk about personal responsibility and humanity towards each other as a people, understanding, and the strength to do what's right...No matter what your endeavors, I wish you safety on the streets and wherever you may travel. The verdict was within the realms of the law in which an officer's life is taken...Rich, I am sorry you were taken from your family, continue to bring them heartfelt memories, a glimpse of you in the warm sun, and the love you have for them...Semper Fi.

Merry Christmas Rich...Our fourth Christmas without you...
Sometimes it doesn't seem possible.

Your killer was FINALLY sentenced to death! Four long years later.

We still miss you every day.
I love you...

Officer May,

I read the jury has given the death penalty to your killer. The penalty hardly seems equal to his actions that night.

I pray the closure brings peace to your family, may God bless them and keep them safe this Christmas season.

Hi Rich...
Alvarez was found GUILTY of FIRST DEGREE PREMEDITATED MURDER on November 25, 2009 With SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE.

We are now in the penalty phase with only a few days left. In only a few short days the jury will decide his fate. I am praying they will sentence him to death, the same way he sentenced you. It's so unfair that he got to make that choice, whether you lived or died, and he gets 12 people to decide for him.

Last week the girls and I all gave our victim impact statements, telling the jury how our lives have been affected since he so needlesly murdered you. You would have been so extremely PROUD of all three or our daughters!

I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU
YOUR WIFE~

I met your father recently and had the pleasure of spending the briefest of time with him. His love for you I hope will pull him through this. I met your mom, sister and brother and have to thank them for being able to share an evening together. My son too is a Deputy in San Mateo. Watch over him from above.

Officer May:

Thinking of you and your family as I read an article this evening about the jury selection finally beginning for your murder trial.

I cannot imagine going through what your family has in front of them.

We can only hope for justice to be served.
