Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Ok - I've tried this twice around your birthday but I think the site was having technical difficulties! Just wanted to say we really miss you. Things are a little crazy with everyone (I'm sure you know this) but what's new, right?

Thanks for keeping an eye on everyone. Wish you were here to harass for being on the down side heading towards the big 5-0! I'm sure you would have done the same for me in two years... :o)

Anyway, we miss you and it still sucks.

Love you a bushel and a peck!

Hi Mike,
I just couldn't write to you on the day we lost you--too painful. The holidays are coming soon, and it is really hard for me to even begin to get in a holiday mood. Wish you could be here with us for Christmas--I'll never again have any chance to have all my kids together for the holidays, and that really hurts!! Yesterday I had a long phone conversation with Lisa, which sort of brings you a bit closer. I think of you often, know you're watching over your family, and that you realize how much you're missed.
Love, Mom

Sgt. Larson served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who
knew him. It is a tragedy to lose him. We never know when our lives on this
earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a
place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life
(John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, Sgt. Larson . My heart goes out to your
loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can.

Thinking of you and all your loved ones on this day. The holiday season is here and makes it even harder for your loved ones, but then again I know every day is a challenge for them. Continue to keep watch over all of them and protect them from harm. I have decorated the outside of my home with blue lights, one of those lights burns brightly in your honor. You have not been forgotten.

Hi Mikey,

Just wanted you to know we love you and miss you. Thanks for watching over us ~ wish you were here instead. Can't believe it's been two years already....yet other times it seems like you've been gone forever.

Used to hate it when you'd yank my chain but now I'd do anything to argue with you again.

Anyway, I'll quit rambling....love you a bushel and a peck!

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.

Rest easy Brother Larson, we have the watch...



”I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
---Isaiah 6:8

You answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy in God's kingdom and watch over us as we continue the battle here on earth!!!

I have been thinking about you a lot these days. I wish you were here. Meg tells me all the time how much she misses you.

Megan is going to make you a PAPA in May or June. She got married so you have a son-in-law. From what she told me it is not one you would have picked. HAHA!!! Don't know that anyone would have ever been good enough for your little girl. He is in the military and just got deployed. Watch over him so he makes it home safe. Watch over Megan. I want her to know she can accomplish anything she puts her mind to, even with a baby on the way. Help us get through the holidays. We love and miss you!!!

Love Always,
Your wife

Hey Mikey,

It's a good day today but not a good one. (You will know what this means). Nothing will bring you back but it's natural to want someone to know how much they have hurt you when they take away someone you love. Unfortunately, hurt like that can't be put into words and unless he loses someone in the same manner, he will NEVER understand what he has done to your family and friends.

We love you and miss you Mike. Thanks for watching out for us.

I think of you all the time, and wonder what you're doing up there. I am doing well since the surgery, lost 17.5 lbs. Knowing you are with me makes it so much easier. The Seafood Festival was this weekend. We didn't go because Meg was sick. She is not very happy with me right now, because I won't let her go out and play. She has had a cough for over a week now and don't understand why she has to stay inside. Wish you were here because I miss you and because I need someone else to be the bad guy for a while. Love you, miss you and think of you often. See you on the otherside, I know you are waiting for me.

Love Lisa

Just thinking about you and wanted you to know that we all love and miss you very much. I ran across a picture of all of us at Stone Mountain the other day. There was one of all of the kids and then one of everyone together. Seems like forever ago.

We really miss you Mikey.

Michael,

Loving hubby I am in need of you help. I am having surgery on 9/30/08, but prior to the surgery I have to do a 2wk liquid protien diet. You know how much I hate protien powder and those shakes. I hope I have the will power to stick to it. I know you will be beside me all the way. There are times now that I feel you with us. We love you and think of you all the time. TTYL

Mike,

Thanks so much for watching over Don! His wife just received a call to come and pick him up at the airport TODAY! From some of the things I've been told, he was in some iffy situations in Afghanistan so I know you were watching out for him. I'm so glad he's home safe and sound (and hopefully won't get re-deployed or I'll be asking you for yet another favor). Feel free to keep an eye out though, as he'll be back to his law enforcement job after a few weeks. :o)

Love you a bushel and a peck!

Hi Mike,
Although I know it has been quite a while since I dropped by to leave a note, you're thought of every day. Today we celebrated Angela's birthday--3 days late. It made me remember how you and Joy came rushing out to see your new sister when we arrived home 3 days after Angela was born. We were staying at Grammie Neva and Poppy Glenn's because I was helping take care of Grammie since she'd severely broken her leg. Before you came out to see the new baby, you made sure Grammie had her crutches, which really impressed Grammie since she knew how excited you were. I also remember that we were ready to get out of the car and you stopped me because you wanted another look at her; your comment was, "She's so cute! Oh, look at the ears!"

I didn't go to National Police Week this year. It is hard for me in so many ways, but mostly because your birthday is always going to fall during that week. Maybe I'll be able to face it again next year.

Next Tuesday I go to Atlanta to see Amy and her family. They are expecting another baby in January; her other two are growing up too fast. In June I got to spend 2 1/2 weeks with Joy and her family. Been keeping up with the gang this summer, eh? I'm so glad I got to see all of your kids and Lisa when they dedicated the street in your name. Keep watching out for all of us--we'll always love you and miss you.
Love,
Mom

Hey Mikey,

Just thinking about you and missing you.

Thanks for keeping watch on our friend in Afghanistan. He actually called us this past weekend to set up something for his wife as a surprise. I don't know much about where he is exactly or what he is doing - guess it's on the QT for now.....you know how that goes from your time in the Army. Anyway, I know you're keeping an eye on him and I appreciate it.

It still sucks knowing you're not here and we can't make up for lost time (and those phone calls you intend to make and put off). I SOOOO regret not talking with you the weekend before the accident. When I talked to Lisa that Sunday and she told me you were on your way out the door, I just figured I'd just call again later. Then a week later, you were gone. Like I said, it sucks I can't go back in time but I guess we all have regrets like that once we lose someone.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know we'll love and miss you always.

Love,
Joy

Michael,
Meg and I went to Washington, D.C. this past week for Police Week. It was a very emotion week, but we had a wonderful time. We went early and met up with some of the Blue Knights from Chapter VII so that we could ride in the Law Enforcement Memorial Ride on Mother’s Day. Wish you would have been able to meet them some of them, they are a really great group, they make you feel like you are family. They have really taken us under their wing. I think about you all the time. Happy belated Birthday LOVER. We think of you always. Love Ya

By the way “ARE YOU HOME YET”
