Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Pop, whats going on? I'm sitting here in class and reading theses reflections. First, I want to thank those who have visited and left their prayers and thoughts. Pop, it is HARD trying to grow up and live a life that you would have wanted me to live if you were here, it is the guidance that is not here. Although it has been 15 years, I think I turned out to be pretty good. Graduated high school and now in college. Say word. Word! Yea man. Ummm...Dude I miss you. I remember like it was yesterday sitting on your lap watching the Bulls game or siting on the back porch with you and looking at the garden snakes we caught. Can you believe I still remember the very day you fell, damn! You know something that bothers me? It bothers me to see theses kids and teenagers with both parents and they disrespect them. I don't get how they can sit there and say the things they say to them. I catch myself and mommy does too. I'll say something out of line and she'll come in and say "Boy, if your father was here". I don't even want to know. (Chuckling. Well, I'm in class now and have to do some work. Love you and I will keep you updated!

Hey Brotha' can't believe it's been 15 years, The wounds and memories are as fresh as if they occurred last month. Three beautiful young women and three tall strong young men have grown in your stead. Life has been hard for them without your guidance, but as promised we are seeing them through. I've survived the battle intact (mostly, anyway)and have hung up my shield and gun, as I wish you were here to do. Big-up and a Heineken for the old times to you,my brother. The empty space will always exist. You were one of the best, we hold you up as an example to those who come behind you. You are honored beyond your wildest dreams, not just for your sacrifice but for the Officer you were! Peace to you, my brother, Peace to you!
For those visiting these pages, no that when the tear is shed, you of the Shield have become a true officer, for no others will truly understand. God Speed to you all.

To the family and friends of Officer Wayne Anderson and his fellow officers:

On behalf of our entire family, we wish to pay honor to Wayne's memory on the 15th anniversary of the day he so tragically lost his life. His heroism, valor and bravery will be forever remembered.

May you be continue to be comforted by the support and caring of your law enforcement family, and other police survivors. We grieve for you and with you. Our family lost our beloved Larry Lasater when he was fatally shot in April of 2005 during a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, so we know the anquish you are still experiencing.

Please know that the brotherhood and sisterhood of law enforcement and police survivors will always be by your side on each step of the journey.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the years of service Wayne gave to his community and the citizens of Massachusetts and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 5, 1994.

Wayne,
The children and I are on the move again. I am makinking sure that the Promises I made to you are being kept with the children. They are doing just great. I gave you my word and they have maintained the " CODE ", WE LIVE BY IT. The boys r proud of you and Ari is on her way to explore africa soon.
I will keep you always near and dear, and our children will keep you in their sight.
Thank You for being such a strong, and commited Dad,our children are wonderful delights.

P.S.
Christopher looks like you he walks like you, he sounds like you, and he stays in the mirror..... like you. (smile). THE THREE OF THEM HAVE YOUR SOFT, TENDER FORGIVING WAYS.
I have also enforced the morals and values that we decided they would embrace. YOU should also know that I am able to say "YOUR FATHER WOULD NOT", before I can finish saying what I need to yell they stop look at me and drop their heads. After 15 years you are still the spartan .

We love you and miss you so!

I love you and miss you Wayne...I will always love you

I can remember me confiding in you and seeking your protection as younger sisters do. I miss sooooo much about you. The way you sat at the kitchen table and talked to me about a situation you went through. As if I understood at 13. I look at my niece and nephew, your children and wish you were here to protect them! There is not a day that goes by that you are not missed! I love you always!

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Wayne, I don't know what the hell happened that day, but I think about it and I realize I've been rubbing one spot in my head for that last 5yrs. I drift back, I look at the children, I see your walk as Christopher walks away from me, I feel peaceful, and I smile, but oh boy...I sure do miss you. Be well...I love you!

Daddy It's been 13 years since you died. Everyday I think about you and wish that you were here. I realize that I am being selfish. You are now in a place where you are resting and don't have to worry. I love you with all my heart and I will never forget you.
