Jo Ann,
I hope you are able to find some peace now. Don't allow these........ I'm sorry I don't know what to call them, but don't give them any more power. Keep Larry alive in the good that you can do share your memories of him. Continue to be the parent you and Larry had hopes of being to Cody. Give him your love and the love of his father, I know you can feel Larry's love everyday. Watch Cody grow into a strong young man and be proud of yourself. Take your trip get away and breath, laugh with your son work at making new memories.
I wish the best for you and all your family my prayers will remian with you always.

I am so happy those animals got what was coming to them!!!!! Lets hope it gets even better and he gets the
death penalty! Why should he have any chance in life, Larry

August 14, 2007

Hallelujah!!! Thank you Lord for giving the jury wisdom and guiding them to see the truth!!! I am touched that those who received Larry's organs attended the trial. May God place a hedge of protection around your loved ones, especially JoAnn, Cody, your mom and the rest of your family.

I just read the verdict ... thank you Lord for looking over this trial and helping the jury reach the correct answer. May the penalty phase render the "correct" decisions as well.
I know this has been a difficult time for your family, I will continue to say a prayer that they find the strength to continue forward and try to heal as these wounds have all been re-opened over the past few weeks.
You are not forgotten sir.

There has been justice given for you....GUILTY on both....I know that you are looking down on Joanne and Cody and carrying them and your brother officers through this time....Just know that they were all there for you and your family....

You are greatly missed by all that ever met you Larry !!!

August 13, 2007

Guilty as charged! Now the icing on the cake is on its way with sentencing........

August 13, 2007

Our prayers were answered and the jury delivered the verdict we had long wished for and with it came some peace of mind. Next week the pena;ty phase begins and we have to now start preparing ourselves to emotionally and physically handle that so important second phase.

We had lots of support and both your families walked the last mile with and for you. The last part of our journey begins soon, and we will all try to do you proud.

I love you and will miss you forever, my beloved son.

Thank God. I know that nothing will ever fill the hole in everyone's hearts over losing you. I only pray that the guilty verdicts bring some amount of comfort to your wife and family. You did not die in vain. Someone is being held accountable in this lifetime and in the hereafter. May God continue to comfort all of your friends and family. You are missed. We work hard everyday to uphold the values and ethics you lived. Your heroism will never be forgotten. May you finally rest in peace.

I thought the verdict was going to come in Friday. I was all dressed for court and took Cody to his gym class. I had my cell phone in my hand the whole time. I was so sure. Now we have to wait...

That reflection about getting away is so ironic. I was just talking about taking Cody to the beach for a week or so when the penalty phase is over. I just want to escape reality for a little while.

I knew the trial would be hard but some of the things that are going on are things we shouldn't have to deal with on top of everything else. There are evil people in this world and I'm not just talking about the two on trial.

Love you

August 12, 2007

I see the trial is nearing the end - We have been praying and holding you all very near to our hearts - please draw strength in the knowledge of that. Justice will be represented - just as Larry represents it.

August 11, 2007

Joanne,Cody and family, God will not let you down again!
These scum of the earth will get whats coming to them....
have faith !! I know its hard to have faith after Larry's
death but try, they will get their punishment!!!!

August 11, 2007

.... we are all living on pins and needles now.... the case was given to the jury yesterday at noon time..... I pray that we have a good jury.... our fate is in God's hands now.... we all have to pray.....

August 10, 2007

Larry,

I'm just checking in...it's been a while and life has been crazy! I have been reading the reflections and was unaware the trial was underway!!! I have faith that justice will prevail. I'm not certain what phase the trial is in, but I will continue to pray. Even though nothing can bring you back, your family, friends and those who loved and knew you can find some peace in knowing those who took you away from them, won't be able to do it to anyone else and most importantly,you did not die in vain. Thank you for being such an inspiration to the Palomar Police Academy Cadets, they will never forget you, nor will I.

Blessing,

I stare at your picture during court and then I stare at the ones that took your life away. The amount of anger I have scares me but it's the anger that's keeping me strong during this.

Soon I'll have to testify and I just pray that I can find the words to express how much I have lost, how much you have lost, how much our baby has lost and how much I love you.

Cody said "police" for the first time a couple of days ago. I'm sure you were smiling. He's becoming quite a little man.

August 2, 2007

Lasater family-
My thoughts and prayers are with you everyday, but especially now that you are enduring the trial. May God bless you and your family and insure a speedy and just verdict.
