Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dear Elston,

Twenty-six years have passed since you left us and as I sit here reminiscing about days gone by, I vividly remember your spirit, your friendship and what a special person you were. I truly miss you and think about you often. You were an important part of my life as one of Houston's Finest. I miss you and know that we will meet again. May God continuously look after your family and loved-ones.

Officer Howard, you left this earth the day I entered it. But for a little while we existed at the same time. I don't know what brought me to your page, except that your EOW is my date of birth, but thank you for your sacrifice.

Your family and friends have posted here and may God bless them and may he help them enshrine your memory.

It was at your service that I started to ask the question, do I really know Jesus. I started re-examining my life and started on a path that God took me down, I have retired from HPD and now pastor a church.
God Bless you Elston, miss you but will see you again!

I think about you every day. On most days, I think about you and smile. But on days like today, I feel so angry and hurt that you aren't here with me. Words can't begin to explain how much I love and miss you. I hope I am making you proud and I hope that I grew up to be the daughter that you wanted me to be. I wish you were here for me to talk to. I wish we could have had more years together, but I'm thankful for the time that we did have. One thing I know for sure is that you loved me unconditionally, and I love you with every fiber in my being.
I love you. I miss you. I never stop thinking about you. And I will never let your memory fade.

Where do I start...It has been twenety-two very long years and the pain has not ended. I still get up and the sun is still shining but my brother is not here to share it with me. Morris you are missed so dearly, your smile, your wisdom and the love that you showed your family. I know "life" goes on but unless you have walked in these shoes life will never be the same again. Even though I was the oldest and Morris was the youngest, we shared so many things together even our birthdays. The momories....it is great to have them, so I can share with those who do not know or remember Morris. So as I end my therapeutic writings I feel as others feel that I am wonderfully bless that my brother, in his short life on earth was such a blessing to me. My love forever and always.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 22nd 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 pray for the solace of your daughter and all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

My dear Uncle,

I still remember that week when our world tragically changed. I remember what I was doing and wearing. I can remember the days you would come get me from Mother's, and I would wait for you on the top step of the porch and jump into your arms. Then wait anxiously to see what goodies you would bring me (it was always the flavored chap stick). Years have went by and I find it still hard to think about you without crying. I find myself usually standing in the distance when it comes to you to make sure everyone else is ok. Often times I think what would we be doing if you were still with us?? Where would I be? What would Mother be doing? But, I know God doesn't make any mistakes so he must of needed a Strong Angel by his side. You would be so proud of us!!! Im following in your footsteps with my nieces and making a lasting impression in their lives. I hope that I could be half the person you are/were. We love you so extremely much. Constantly thinking of you,

Your favorite niece, Ashlie

There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss my daddy.
I can't believe that it has been 20 years since you were taken from us. We all love you dearly and miss you so much.
But I know that you are shining down on me from Heaven, and I live to make you and mom proud.

I love you
