Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 6th 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, Charles.

Thinking of your loved ones today and everyday. I know the daily struggles they face without you and the terrible pain within their hearts. God, wrap your loving arms around them and help them with their grief and let them feel your presence.
Your sacrifice has not been forgotten.

My Dear Brother,
I sit here and look at this tiny box and this box is not big enough for me to fill or explain how I feel, but u know how I feel already.
I thought it was my time this pass Tuesday night but Our Creator granted my wish, my prayer to still be here. You know what my wish was so please don't be sad I am not with u yet I know u understand, they say that sadness is not permitted in heaven and you don't want to break the law, do u?
I have decided as of last year to celebrate life on your E.O.W date, if I am able, in doing the things u most love to do in life here, except I am not going to become a police officer and I surely am not playing the stock market at this time.
I know that this will make u happy and I know u will be with me where I am and whatever I might be doing at that time, always and forever.

A new year has come and my hope is that those who love you may find peace in remembering the good times that they had. I miss you and still wish that you were here though. It is unbelievable what life has been like without you.

God will not abandon us; He wants to comfort us when our hearts are shattered.

I want to remind Christians that after this life, there is no sorrow. The 21st chapter of Revelation tells us of several things that will not exist in heaven. They include: death, mourning, weeping, and even night.

For those who believe, we have the great promise of knowing that eternity will be spent praising God and experiencing the indescribable joy of being in his presence

Your passing of 5 years will be coming up soon. I feel like it is closing in on me and I can not breath. The tears begin to swell up in my eyes. I remember our good times growing up and how I was looking towards the future and not dwell on the pain that I feel now.
Thank you Charles. I am well now, Dr. said I was lucky and it wasn't my time yet; that I'm a fighter. I knew you were watching over me and you were my luck. I can't promise that I will not cry on your anniversary but I promise I will remember and visit those places that they remember you too. Then we can smile together for everything that you have given us. Love, Big Sis

Thank you Investigator for the heartfelt poem.

"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.

December 2007. Christmas fast approaching and you will not be here. I visited Justin on his Cutter for Thanksgiving. You would have enjoyed it all. I get down around this time of year because you are supposed to spend it with family. I don't have any family here anymore. They are living all over now. I guess that's what happens when you get older. I know you can see my tears of sorrow. You are thought about and missed everyday by so many people. You will always be loved. Missing you as always, Marlene

"IN THE SIMPLE PERFORMANCE OF DUTY"

In the simple performance of duty,
he pinned on a badge,
checked his gear with a practiced eye,
and kissed his loved one good-bye.

In the simple performance of duty,
he reported for work,
joked with his buddies at roll call,
and made his last trip down the squad room hall.

In the simple performance of duty,
he answered the call
to help the helpless, to find the lost,
no matter the danger or how great the cost.

In the simple performance of duty,
he lay down his life,
for the one person in peril he tried to save,
our brave friend went to his grave.

In the simple performance of duty,
we honor his deed,
as we carry him to rest in a flag-draped casket,
long after the world has forgotten, WE SHALL NEVER FORGET.

Never judge or regret, what he did,
In the simple performance of duty.

love ones & friends

Just stopping by since it is your birthday month! It would have been blessing if you were here. I have been thinking about the fun times when we were little, how we use to play cowboys and indians and how I always had to be the Indian or you were the sheriff and I was the bad guy. Well brother I miss you and love you! Send me a penny from heaven, please!

Justin recently wed. I wish you were there. He is now patrolling the Sabine Pass area and is going to "A" School in the near future, probably in Calif. You missed Elli, she is talking a little now and is at that age you just have to laugh at everything that she does. She is a big ham! Everyone misses you and thinks about you all the time. We just wish you were here. Love
