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 talking to your daughter today about you and I thought I would leave a little note for you and your family.

She has been such a huge inspiration and help to me on our Memorial events and projects. She is always there when I need her and she keeps me on the path I need to be on. I know she does this for you and that makes her help even more meaningful. I wouldn't have made it this far without her and I will never forget her for it.

Your sacrifice will never be forgotten because people like your daughter honor your memory everyday. Rest in peace.
