Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Mrs. Loya, you left kind words on my dads page and I wanted to thank you for that and for your sons service and sacrifice. Special men and women put on that uniform every day knowing they might not come home. They do a job that’s so often criticized but most don’t have the courage or selfless service to serve their community and country. I hope your days get better and you can heal from this tragedy. Thank you for raising a real hero.

2017 is coming to a close and it has been another tough year for our nation's law enforcement. California lost a young CHP officer on Christmas Eve because someone decided to celebrate with alcohol and marijuana and then drive. Today in Colorado one deputy was fatally shot and 4 other deputies wounded. Praying for peace and safety for all the men and women serving and protecting.

So many Christmas memories of you, and as always I put out the Santa pictures with you and your older brother. I was blessed with being able to see all my grandchildren on Christmas day although Cody was unsuccessful in teaching a new board game he has mastered that I found complicated. You have a very smart son who is like you in so many ways.

Holding you in my heart and you are the best part of me. Loving you for eternity.

Just a few days before Christmas and Mom is cherishing all those special memories of our family when we were all together. How I miss you! I am looking forward to going to a candlelight service tonight at church and will praise God and thank him for each day of your life in this realm. I was so blessed to be your mom.

December can be hard because of your birthday and Christmas, but again this year I celebrated your birthday by doing ride alongs for 12 hours. I rode with two different officers, one of them a new officer, and enjoyed talking about you and listening to them tell me about their lives. It makes me feel close to you on your birthday and made easier what could have been a difficult day much easier Kudos to Patrick and James P.

Loving you forever and a day and holding you in my heart. I know you are looking down with pride at what an amazing young man your son Cody is.

Greetings from silicon valley where i attended the memorial for two Santa Cruz officers on March 8, 2013. Leon Panetta gave a moving speech which is on-line and can easily be found. One version is missing the final 10 seconds which are important. Hope many view it. Or perhaps you were there in person which was even better.

Officer Lasater, I met your sweet mother Phyllis and her friend Jeanette at the 2017 California Peace Officers candle light vigil and so glad I did! She is a warrior also! Fighting the fight for those who have protected us, and giving encouragement to survivors. Thank you for your service both military and public. You were certainly raised right.
God Bless you and your family.

Larry,
Sorry that this is a late reflection. I have been thinking about you, your wife, your son, your family, and your extended family at the PD who miss you even more at this time of year. You were a great person, Cop, coach, friend, husband, son, soon to be father, and Marine. You are always remembered fondly and your presence is greatly missed. It always will be. Those of us working that day definitely will never forget...

I always think of you and the tender thoughts you share on behalf of the families of police officers who have LODD. The flame of love that a Mother has toward their child can never be extinguished. You have my respect, my sympathy at the loss of your son Larry, and the love of police officers for your heart. Blessings to you Mrs. Lasater.

Another April... a month that is filled with reminders of you, but my heart, soul, and mind are always full of memories of you. You are in me with every breath I take and always will be. My church small group is going to your department next week during our week of servitude to bring your brothers and sisters some small token of appreciation for their service. I think you would like that.

Loving you forever and beyond, my cherished and beloved son.

Another Christmas without you and my heart aches with every heart beat. My head is flooded with memories of all the wonderful Christmas celebrations we shared. My precious son, you handled all the wrapping responsibilities because you were so meticulous and creative. Our presents to you under the tree were easily spotted because I was the one wrapping them and I could never do a good as job as you.

I am very depressed today and am trying to pull it together but there is just a tremendous void without you. I love you so very much and long to be with you.

I spent your birthday doing ride alongs from 6:30 in morning until midnight but an officer made sure I was graveside at 6:04 pm, the exact time you were born Pacific Standard time...the time we started our journey together. So many memories of you, James and me and then Dad.

Your precious son looks more and more like you as he gets older, but is a perfect mix of you and JoAnn.

Why did have to happen????

Loving you forever and a day, Mom

Phyllis, twice now I've been reading ODMP reflections for two officers I know and came across your words of love, kindness, strength and hope. I've only met with you a few times with James' kids, but if you don't mind me saying you are simply one of the most forthright and focused people I've ever met. Some people say there is strength in unity...you live a life of sharing strength and unifying people who have lost their loved one while serving in the most noble of professions. Thank you for sharing with the families of LASD Deputy Piquette and Hutto, TX PD SGT Kelley. I knew both of them and was moved when I saw you had left a reflection for their families...so I left one for you.

I just got the strength to read reflections on my dad's page and your mom's reflection was beautiful. I'm so sorry for your family's loss and please know you will never be forgotten. If there is anything I can ever do for your family, please know I sincerely will be there for you.

Mrs. Lasater - thank you for caring and for your kind words.

Hey Sir,
Heard some news my brother sent me about a high school friend of mine that was killed 10 years ago (Oceanside Police, Dan Bessant), they just re-arrested one of the gang members involved in his death. So of course, that led me to think of you. Sadly, I am heading to another LEO funeral this Friday for one of our brother a few counties over that was just shot and killed (Rusk County, WI). Its a sad state of affairs right now with the media, politicians, and some members of the public and their views towards L.E. But, we still pick up our packs and head to the next call because that is what we swore to do. Miss you brother. Thank you for the time we did have together. You will never be forgotten. Semper Fi.
