This is such a tragedy to lose your
husband before he even got to see
his baby brought into this world. It
would have been a highlight of his
life. You have much company with
all those babies born to victims of
9/11. I hope you can find the support
you need to get thru this. This is
truly God-size pain. To all the officers
who worked alongside your husband
whether they knew him or not, whether near or far, my heart goes
out to you. May God comfort you as
only He can and may He give you
many promises to stand on till you're
all safely home. God bless everyone
experiencing such a tremendous loss. Thanks for your sacrifice Officer Lasater. The price was definitely too high, but what a blessing that you brought life to others thru your unselfish gifts. Your
memory will be cherished. John 3:16
