To the wife and child of Officer Lasater;
I am so, so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. I can't imagine your pain. Please know that you are in the prayers of many. My prayer for you is that God will give you strength and comfort in this difficult time ahead. I also pray that this child will always know the love of their father and will also know just how much joy this child's life brought to his!! I'm sure that one of the happiest moments in his life was when he found out about you.
All my prayers for God's love to comfort you....

TO: The family; loved ones; friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER’S PRAYER:--- O, gentle Lord ! Keep the day/night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty, I ask your protection from all mental, physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work, endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Let me respond to all calls with haste realizing that so many are dependent upon me for life and safety. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers, and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord, I ask that I may return safely, after my tour of duty, to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer; and after my tour of duty is over here on earth, may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well. AMEN. *** REST IN PEACE *** Sent to you by the father of Detective J.D.Koeppen, Raleigh North Carolina; Trooper D.C.Koeppen, New Jersey State Police and Patrolman A.M.Koeppen, Wilmington North Carolina.

Our Thoughts & Prayers go out to Officer Lasater's Wife, Family, Friends, Department & Community.
Our hearts break as we read of another promising life lost at the hands of evil.
He Served Our County as a U.S. Marine and then as a Law Enforcement Officer. For which he paid the ultimate price. We all owe him a debt of gratitude.
We believe he is in Heaven along with our own Douglas County Deputy Morris Taylor (EOW 09-14-2002).
God Bless All of Our Law Enforcement Officers and the Ones Who Love Them.
Semper Fi!

I was saddened to read the memorial for Officer Larry Lasater. To his wife and unborn child I want them to know that there are a lot of folks across this country that care deeply and will be in prayer for them.
Officer Lasater is a true American hero and will never be forgotten. He was born for a reason and gave his life unselfishly so that we may live our lives in a safe enviroment. I praise God for men like him.
May the family, friends amd co-workers find some sense of peace during this difficult time. I pray that God's blessings be upon them.

Not only did you help preserve life while alive but by donating your organs you are helping preserve life now. You are a true hero. I hope both suspects get what they deserve.
I pray for you, your wife, and your unborn child.
