Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Today is the day...I tell your story so many times throughout the year...when I meet someone & I tell them I used to be a dispatcher. They always ask about bad calls & I have to tell them that I have never taken the worst call, however, one of the worst calls shaped who I was as a dispatcher. You are truly a man of honor and after 9 years still hold the utmost respect of those who speak of you. I will pause today and say a prayer for Prissy & Kaley...know that you are not forgotten.

Can't believe that it has been 9 years. I'm always amazed at how this day hits me. I miss so much about you and our life. But what hurts the most is Kaley. She never got to know you. The stories help but she doesn't know the feeling of your love and how strong it could make a person. There is so many things that I will never be able to explain to her about you to make her truely understand. That is what hurts so deep in my soul. I love and miss you more everyday.

Oh, Billy ..... this dreadful anniversary is upon us again. We've thought about and talked about you so often recently, which we always do as November 13th approaches. It's a very hard day for a lot of people. We can barely make ourselves believe that 9 years have passed; where in the world has that time gone?? I look at your 26-year-old face and wonder what you'd look like now, at 35. The events of that tragic day are still quite surreal, and we will never forget a single detail. We hope you are preparing for a sumptuous Heavenly Thanksgiving feast with so many of our loved ones. We're grateful that your earthly struggles are over and that you're at peace in God's presence, but we surely do miss you.

Our love,

I never hear the word "NOVEMBER" without thinking of you. I guess I never will. I know you're in a better place but we still miss you here. As Thanksgiving approaches this month, I will remember you and be thankful that I had the privilege of knowing you.

Hi Billy,
I haven't been on here since 2009, but I am currently on a
tour of the "Backroads of Kentucky" from WA state with 52
others. Came thru Jessamine County the other nite and I
immediately thought of you. Came to this site to read the
info again and it was Nicholasville that we travelled thru.
I never knew you, but I happened to catch your story and was
so touched with grief for Prissy, your baby girl that you
adored and how sad it was that you were taken. Spent many, many hours reviewing your site and reading all the messages left there.
Hopefully, some day I will meet you in person and you will
be reunited with Jesus, our Lord and Savior and your loved
ones, too. What a reunion that would be! Until then, know
that you will always be in our hearts, whether we knew you
personally or not.

Happy 37th birthday, Billy, and Happy 9th to Kaley. We surely do miss you. All the shock and pain and heartache surfaced again yesterday as we watched Bryan Durman's funeral. The bagpipes, Taps, the horse-drawn caisson, the guns, the flags, the helicopters, hundreds and hundreds of uniformed and saluting officers, and the last call. We were instantly transported in time back to November of 2001 at the Lexington Cemetery; it was both magnificent and crushing. We'll never forget, Billy; rest peacefully, Friend.

My thoughts turned to memories of you today as on the news there was a kid that was injured in the leg, and they said he would probably never walk again. But he has... So my thoughts moved to the injury of you pulling over one individual and him trying to speed off taking you with him, and injurying you. Then I thought about you at the Academy in Richmond and the balcony accident. Then I move on to the tragedy that took you away from us. But I know you passed enjoying what you loved, protecting us.. I really miss you Billy. Thanks for looking over us, and taking trips with Paw down those golden streets...Love ya!

Hey Billy, Doesn't seem possible, 8 years, seems like yesterday, everything in slow motion. I sometimes wonder what rank you'd be, how many kids you and Prissy would have, a son maybe to follow in your footsteps, Billy Ray Walls IV.....The reality is sobering, I know many people have the same thoughts when this anniversary comes around. You'd probably be Sheriff by now! I know you patrol streets of gold, but I wish you were here to keep us entertained..........God Bless

Oh, Billy . . . . . . . eight years today. What a dreadful anniversary. These 8 years have both crawled and sped by, and we have all experienced a lot of heartbreaking waters passing under the bridges of our lives. Daddy has been there with you for 9 months now; I still can't believe he's gone. His death has forever altered our lives, as death always does, but we were monumentally blessed to have him for a few days shy of 85 years, and we're looking forward with great anticipation to seeing him, and you, again soon! I'm quite sure you two have become fast friends, as he never met a stranger. I'll bet you're constantly exchanging "cop" and "war" stories!

Be assured that you are never out of our minds and hearts; we will never forget, Billy, even though it's so painful to remember. Rest peacefully, Friend. We love you.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the eighth 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 pray for solace for all those who miss and love you.

Rest In Peace

Prissy,
As 11-13 approaches you & Kaley are in my thoughts & prayers. Even though it has been 8 years, it sometimes seems like it hasn't been that long. (My first husband was killed the month before Billy was). Hang in there...you've been through so much already & we can't go back to life before 2001. It's hard, I know, but try to be happy in life. We both know how short it can be but it's too long to be lonely & sad. Take care!

Thinking of you and the sacrifice we were all asked to make when God called you home. You are never far away in our thoughts and hearts.

As this date always comes around I find my self with thoughts of you, the last time we talked, how you told me you all would be around that summer to have cookouts with us, so that we could play croquet, grill out and watch Kaley bug grow. How you always reminded me to have paprika for those eggs you wanted me to cook..so you bought me some as a joke, how you would tell me how the funniest thing Kaley does all these new things but wouldn't in the presence of company, how I teased you yeah right...I miss you terribly, but understand you are needed to help God in his service. Thanks for looking out for us and your brothers in blue. Love you, miss you, will never forget you.

I saw your picture in my partners car the other night (C.Wilson), he said you were best friends. I thought it was cool he had your picture above his head watching over him as he worked. God bless brother, rest in peace.
