Your heroism and service is honored today, the 8th 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.

I thought about you a lot today. I prayed for Jeff & Julie. It's hard to believe it's been so long since we've seen that smiling face of yours. Miss you.

It is so difficult to believe it's been 8 years today. Time doesn't really make any difference or ease the pain. I will always uphold and honor the Ultimate Sacrifice that you made. Today, tomorrow and forever.

Love,
J.

I cannot erase, hide nor pretend I like this time of year. In fact, I hate it. Hate is such a strong word but it's fitting for describing how I feel. You were taken away from me, our life, what was supposed to be our family and kids.

Love,
J.

Thank you McKenzie for leaving a reflection for my husband, Bryan. It meant a lot to me to read it and know that you remember him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

7 years ago I picked up and started over. It's hard to believe that it's been that long. I remember you today and always. This time of year makes me miss you even more. I will always recall the great times we had with Chris and Sissy at Niles Haunted House.....

Love You
J

"Who You'd Be Today"
Copyright ASCAP by Kenny Chesney

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
I feel you everywhere I go.
I see your smile, I see your face,
I hear you laughing' in the rain.
I still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I've been through,
Just knowing' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who'd you be today?

Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family,
I wonder what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue,
I feel like I can talk to you,
An' I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I've been through,
Just knowing' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who you'd be today?

Today, today, today.
Today, today, today.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
The only thing that gives me hope,
Is I know I'll see you again some day.

Some day, some day, some day.


I Love You
I miss you

I've been thinking about you a lot this week. I was thinking about the events of today & missed being a part of them. I hope they had a good turn out...I'm sure you were smiling down on all of them.

I will always miss you.
No amount of time will change that.
It's so horrible the way that things have worked out since you died.
I only wish that you and I could have had a lifetime together like we deserved.

I love you

Bryan,
We will never understand the "whys" of 12/13. It should have never happened but the fact that it did is etched in history like a huge, ugly scar that will never heal. The mark on my heart and mind is immeasurable. While others are able to move on and forget, I will not. My love for you is for a lifetime, and then some.

I love you and miss you very, very much.

Thank you for the recent signs. I am thankful for them and for the short amount of time that we had together.
I love you. I still wish that December 13th would have never happened to you. Life is so unfair.

I don't know if it's the fact that Valentine's Day is coming up or the fact that you always made it so special but lately, I've been missing you a lot...

A LOT.

I love you.

It seems that no matter how much time goes by, healing can be a myth.

No amount of time can erase the beautiful way that you loved me and treated me.
