It's almost impossible to fathom that it has been 5 years since you left us my friend, yet not a day goes by that you're not close in our hearts.

Thinking of you again brother. We are planning our annual trip and it always reminds the guys we are missing a big part of us. The girls are growing up so fast, they are beautiful young ladies and you would be so proud. I talked to your dad the other day to check on him, sadly your grandma passed. Know that you are missed deeply and loved by many, rest easy.

Thought of you again today as we were talking about motor officer candidates and one of them reminded me of you. You and your family are never far from my thoughts my friend.

Daddy,

I wish you were here with me right now. I miss you and I love you. You didn't be with me very long. I was 3 when you died. I have been singing about you and wondering about what it is like up in heaven.

Love,

Wes,

It is so hard to believe that it has been 4 years. It just doesn't seem possible that you have been gone that long. The girls are growing up so fast and they miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that the girls don't mention you or ask about you. You would be so proud of them!! Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe. We Miss You Sweetheart so very much! Until we meet again........We Love You!!

Forever & Always,

Wes,
Golly, tomorrow will be another anniversary of the day we lost you. So many still miss you so much and still feel your loss. Lately there seem to be so many officer deaths and each time I hear of one I think of you. Your girls are growing into little ladies and I know you are bustin your buttons up there with pride. Ashlee is such a good mom and I know many think of her often and try to help her through the rough times. Both she and the girls know you are looking after them from heaven. Many will be thinking about you tomorrow. We will remember your smile, your kindness, your voice on the radio. You truly are missed, Wes.

Wes,
This photo of you we walk by every day captures my memories of you. Always grinning, always bringing light to those around you. You are so missed. I can't ever talk about your or read these messages with dry eyes. We talk about you regularly. You are part of us. God Bless You.

11 years ago tonight was one of the happiest moments we ever shared together!! You picked out the clothes you wanted me to wear, took me to dinner, then walked me down into the middle of the water gardens in Ft Worth and got down on one knee and asked me to be your wife!! I will never forget that moment as long as I live!!! Thank You for choosing me Wes and Thank You for loving me unconditionally. I will never forget all the wonderful memories we made!!! I Love You Sweetheart!! Miss You each and every day!!

Forever and Always,

Yo Brother Wes!! Missin you more and more everyday that passes by, you are a true friend. Bart and I talk a bit about you every now and then, we've became pretty close friends, it's all good you know! As huntin season comes upon us, I think about my first year on the lease with you, it was a blast, how I gave humor to you and Ashley for almost killin myself with the t-post driver. Things here have changed, this town has fallen apart, people turned crooked and all, it's crazy. I know your keepin watch over us and I pray everyday when I see another brother in blue join you in heaven for someone's mistake, I know it's God's plan but it's sad on the other hand. Miss you more everyday and it's not the same without you here. God Bless til we meet again.

It's hard to believe that it's been 3 years my love. I still daydream about what life would be like today with you here with us. I dream about how you would be with the girls and things ya'll would do together. They are just now getting old enough to take them hunting and fishing. They love to ride on the 4 wheeler and go out with PawPaw Hardy on his gator and look for deer. They ride horses with Papa Cate and love to swim in the pool. They have turned into little fishes!!

We are still in Michigan and even though we are thousands of miles from home the pain and the heartache are still very present. I hated being away from home today but I knew that being up here spending time with family is something that you loved just as much as me and I knew you would understand why I wasn't in Plano today.

We miss you so much sweetheart! Every night the girls pray and they ask God to take care of you! Oh you would be so proud of them!!!! I thank God every day that he gave us our girls so I still have a piece of you with me each and every day!!

Watch over us my love and keep us safe! Until we meet again......

Forever & Always

Wes,
Hard to believe it has been three years since we last spoke in person. It breaks my heart every time I walk past the picture of you in our office and think of what we lost that day and what you could have become. Things can never be the same with out your smiling face around. Take care, my brother in blue. Until we meet again.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

Wes,
Three years. It sure doesn't seem that long at times. Today will be a difficult day for many...but that is just a testament to the type of person you are. I know the traffic guys still feel your loss daily. Ashlee is doing such a great job with the girls. All 3 of your girls are just beautiful inside and out and they miss you so much. I know you are watching over them and your fellow motor friends. You will never be forgotten, Wes.
