Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Good morning, I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. Every time around this year Xmas will always remind me of how much I was truly loved by you. You gave me a total of 12 gifts till Xmas day on our first Xmas together, the best gift you ever gave me was the love you thought me and how you change my life for the better. You gave me much more than material things. I miss and love you always and I know we will see each other again. Please say hello to everyone for me up there. I pray each night and I know you are my angel. I miss our talks and much more.

I just wanted to say hello and let you know I prayed for you every night before I go to sleep. The other day I had a talk to Pastor Leah and told her how I felt. I had not spoken to anyone about how I really felt about the accident. I felt good telling her because for the longest I blamed GOD, but I have asked GOD for forgiveness, I have accept him in my heart and life.It feels so good to have GOD in my life. That day I felt like you were there with me. Baby you always told me you would always protect me from any harm and you once told me that no matter where you were I will feel your love and I believe that still. I remember the time you took me to meet your parents I was so nervous and you held me and told me it's ok because they would love me because you love me and I made you happy. I hold on those words baby. I carry with me what you have thought me and what helped us is to have faith and communicate and pray and that is what I have been doing. Even though it has been 8 years in my heart your very much alive in my heart and your family and friends. I love you always my big Teddy Bear. Mahal baby!

Rickster!! I can't believe it's 8 years this year!! I know you know I have been through alot over the past two years....and I also know I have made the best decisions in the end even if they weren't easy. There are so many times I wish I could just pick up the phone and call you and then I realize.....I can't....it makes me so sad. I love your family with all of my heart, not only do they have tremendous strength, they are also the most amazing support system I have ever had in my life and I can't thank them enough for it. Your brother and his wife just had their baby not too long ago....they named him after you, I can't wait to meet him!! I know you were in the room with them when little baby Metzler arrived!! Things sure aren't the same without you but know that we ALL know you are around and keeping us safe. It's so comforting to see that people who REALLY cared about you are still writing on your wall. I miss you, your family misses you and your friends miss you...things will never be the same without you Rickster!! Sending you big hugs always and forever!!! Love ya buddy!!

Hey, Babe
I know your watching over me and Chris, and everyone you have touched. The other day I was going through some of my old things and came upon a note you wrote me on 1-26-01 and made me cry and smile at the same time. You wrote this to me;
If I could fly and Cristina was the bird I would love to be the sky knowing I would have to be heard. For Cristina only a bird, and I the great it would be my kingdom that only Cristina could fly.
Cristina in her beauty, passion and love would be around forever! This bird I call Cristina no matter how she flies would never fly out of my life, for I the sky go on you to infinity. Which means Do I end? Oh please never!! when I read it again I fell on my knees and knew you were with me on my special day and I went to visit you and put fresh flowers and felt you with me and put a smile on my face. I miss and love you for eternity. I know I will love again but it is not the same as what we have. Until then please continue to watch over us and family and friends.
Yours always
Cristina

You are doing a great job of watching over them. Hope your sister is going to the siblings retreats too. They sure help us all to make it thru the lonely days with out our children. Sharon

Christina, I don't think I ever had the opportunity to meet you, but I was in Patrick's academy class. I see that you leave messages for Patrick on this forum and hope you see this and contact me. I have some photos of Patrick from our academy class to give you, if you would like them. I should have contacted you much sooner.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the seventh 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.

Rest In Peace.

To your family: I understand the meaning of lives forever altered and know that the hurt of losing a beloved never goes away...the pain and pride are forever. I pray for your solace.

It has been a long time,,,I still very much think of you and miss you. My life has not been the same ever since. I find myself crying wishing you were still here and seeing your beautiful smile. Still having a difficult time to find what we had but i know you are still here in my heart. Chris still holds the memories of you and the book you gave him. You would be proud of him his doing good in school now in 8th grade and turning into a good young man.

Well I hope you continue to watch over us and your family and friends. I know you and I will see each other one day. I will always love you and you were right you treat me like a princess. Your my big teddy bear. I love you always!

Pat,

I just found this site! It is great to read the things that others have posted about you. You were the best! I hope I made you proud when I spoke at your funeral as it was the hardest thing I have done in my adult life.

A photo of me, Andy, and Robert, behind your flag drapped coffin speaking to a sea of blue is above my monitor. I regret that it is one of the only photo's of us together. I regret many things these days, but can only strive to be a better person, father, and husband, when I think of how precious life is.

I finally took the Sgt's test and try everyday to be a great leader for my troops (wish they were all like you). I hope you know that I am better for having known you.

We all love and miss you!

I saw the video "In Memory of" today for the first time when I heard of your sacrifice. I do not know if we are related but I just wanted to say thank you for your service and God bless your family. And by the way, two of my brothers are also serving as police officers in the U.S. We all share the same last name and I wanted your family to know we carry it with pride. Rest in peace brother.
