We had a really close call the other day. The difference in the width of an angel's wing was life and death. I think you and another fallen officer angel protected my husband.
Thank you, and thank your family.

Happy Birthday hubby!!!

Thank you for still watching over us and sending your angels to protect the girls and me. We miss and love you very much. Tasha was with us at the cemetery today. She loves going, and just sits quietly by your grave. She never wants to leave.

We miss and love you very much.

Love Always,

Gabby, know that our team will continue to watch over Sue and the girls as long as they need us or want us. I just wanted to say thank you for the "rainbow" the day we finally got the last piece of the train able into the new basement. It meant a lot to me.

Mike, it is really hard to believe but Ryan graduated from Virginia Tech two days ago. Ryan always thought highly of you and loved it when you took him fishing at the lake at one of our police union picnics.

Ryan will never forget that day!

Mike we all think of you and your family often.

I miss you Mike.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third 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 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 hold your family in thought and prayer today and pray for their solace.

I haven't left a reflection for 2 years and I was able to read today all 18 pages of reflections left here. You lived your life to glorify God and exemplified His love to your fellowman throughout your life and career. You have impacted everyone you ever came in contact with and now, with your passing, have even impacted those who never knew you. You are amazing in your selflessness and I can only imagine the pain this has caused your families and all those who love and miss you. Thank you for your extreme sacrifice and your willingness to serve and protect. The majority of us appreciate the job
you do on a daily basis.
