Reflections for Patrolman Shane Miller

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 to my home state and the birthplace of my son. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know that both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your family and friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their refletions. I share your parents anguish in losing a beloved child which surely has to be life's greatest sorrow.

Rest In Peace.

Hey there brother. Just stopping by again to let you know that still are a very important part of my life. I wear a memorial bracelet every day to my respect to the world that you impacted my life and mad me into the math at I am today. I can only hope that one day when my watch ends that I can come close to god enough that I may be blessed with your friendship again. Until that time please be with me and continue to watch my back as I continue the patch the lord has givin me. I miss you brother.

Shane I missed you so much today. I had always thought about how great it would be when you found that special someone, got married and in time we would have had grandchildren. That was not the plan Jesus had for your Dad and I. You never got married, we never had any grandchildren so we will never experience being grandma and grandpa.
But as you are looking down on us you know that we have cousins, family, friends and church family that have stood by us.
We started Police Week today with these family and friends gathering with us to lay a wreath at your mausoleum. It was a very touching moment for all of us. So as we spend this week remembering and honoring all who gave the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, YOU and JESUS PLEASE look down and help us. It is always difficult for us, but this week is really tough.

Miss You Son! OFFICER SHANE MILLER

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the morning God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and tho we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing is the same; so just keep looking Shane as GOD calls us home one by one, THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN.

HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN SON!!!!
Sending you lots of love,
We miss you!!!!!!

Well, I find myself talking about you and the guys from BLET a lot, and I always bring you and Jimmy up the most. I think I got closest with you 2. I truely felt you guys became my big brothers. You always extended a hand to me whenever PT got alil much. Then when we BOTH failed ABC Law. Lol. You helped me out there also. I miss turning around and seeing you setting behind me as you did in class. I'm sure so many of us would do anything to be able to turn around and see that awesome smile you had. Remember the first time we took Jimmy to San Jose in Whiteville for lunch and he asked the server where were the biscuits? LOL! Gosh Shane, we didn't see it then, BUT those were some of the best months of our lives! I started to go back and redo it all, but after the world lost you, I couldn't bare and do it. I remember you telling me of the four wheeling accident you got into right before you were to leave for trooper school, and that scared the hell outta me after you left us. Even tho we both wouldv'e made great officers, God had more in site for us. I went to work for Bank of America here in Charlotte and got a call one evening of a man who had a heart attack and need my help. So, with what I learned in First Responder class, I saved his life. He was completely flat lined once I got to him and I saved him. If I'd have became a police officer, I wouldn't have been there that day and a 12 year old girl would be without her dad. He was her only parent and was raising her alone. Not 1 day goes by that I don't think of u and the guys from class and wonder what might have been. Those are memories that I hold dear to my heart and can't no one ever take u away from me again, because I'm going to always keep u and them there. Ya'll were and are still my brothers! I Love You, Shane!

Shane I can't begin to imagine what you were going through and thinking on that dreadful night. If I had only gone on as I started to maybe I could have done something that would have made a difference. If I had only known that it was you in the wreck you know I would have been there. I will never forgive myself for letting you down. Please forgive me son.
Please keep in mind that one day I will be there with you always and forever!!!! I love you,

Shane the Christmas Holiday is here again without you. Our Christmas has not been the same since you were taken from us. We know the true meaning of Christmas and are thankful for the birth of our father in heaven who has been with us through these years, but I don't want to sound mean but I find (some) relief when it is over. It is very hard to feel what other people do at this time of year when our hearts are even more heavy. Will you and Jesus watch over us as we come closer to the Holiday. MERRY CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN SON!!!!

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU

Shane,
I never got the opportunity to meet you, but have heard so many wonderful stories about you. A couple of years ago I dated someone who considered as close friend/brother. Johnny thought the world of you. Even though we never met I still feel like I got to know you rather well from Johnny. I starting really thinking about you ever since we lost a Va State Trooper in my hometown that touched several people. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your service, the people of Tabor City were lucky to have you watching after them even if for only one night. My heart goes out to your family as well. May they be blessed so see and spend all the time with you in heaven because I know that's where you are!

Hello once again son, had to stop by today and let you know once again how much I miss you. Shane I can truly say and you know that you were a Blessing to your Dad and I. I thank God for giving us a chance to be parents to what became a treasure in our life. We feel so blessed to have had those 27 wonderful years. We wish our time could have been growing old together but God must have had another plan.
Until our time here is over and Jesus takes us home to be with you always watch over us. We love you sweetheart!!!!!

Hello In Heaven Son, as you know this is POLICE WEEK 2011 seven years as of May 15, 2004 (Peace Officers Memorial Day) you were taken from our life. It has been and still is a very hard time for us. Each day from morning til night you are on our mind (ALWAYS). Death of a child is something that a parent will NEVER, EVER, EVER overcome. You are missed more than words can express and you know that we love you endless.
You and Jesus please watch over us and all who have lost a HERO during this difficult time.

WE LOVE YOU SON!!!

Shane your Dad and I are having to deal with a situation concerning your death that is very difficult for us. God is the only one that can help us with this. I have prayed and prayed for him to help me with this and in someway show me the right thing to do, as of now I am still praying for that moment when my answer will come.
As you kmow we are making arrangements for POLICE WEEK 2011. We have alot of wonderful people that will be with us this year, they have stood by our side from the moment you were taken, they are very special to us!
In the meantime PLEASE you and JESUS watch over us and all EMS out in the field daily. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!!!!
