Your heroism and service is honored today, the second anniversary year 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Thanks to your family and friends for sharing their devotion to you through their reflections.

To Thomas Cruz-Wiggins: Your reflection helped me today , and i will always remember what you wrote. It is so wonderful to know that a stranger to us took their time to stop at her roadside memorial and took time to pray to her and then write about it. These words will be read by our daughter one day and it will make her so proud . her father built a memorial park at his home and it is just wonderful. thank you and all that take time to post something for melissa.

As I walked along today, I came across a tribute sign for an accident victim that I’m sure many of you have seen the state erects for those who have been killed in a car accident. Today I was brought to tears and my knees as I approached one with an American Flag waving at about Mile Mark103 with the name Deputy Mellissa J. Powers. In my research I learned Deputy Melissa J. Powers was killed in a single vehicle automobile accident on U.S. 1 at approximately 10:30 pm. on June 22, 2010. My body is now completely filled with God Bumps as I realize she died exactly one year ago today.

Dear Melissa J. Powers , you don’t know me but I kneeled before your flag of honor today and cried, prayed and lifted your soul up to God above. As I post a picture of your Roadside Memorial and a picture of you, may the people who read about you today and from now on pray for your soul and salute your service as I did today on my knees from the accident location. I pray for your husband and child’s peace that you left behind. May your soul of a faithful departed rest in peace from the mercy of God. In Honor, I Salute Your Service to Monroe County and the people of the Florida Keys. Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins, June 22, 2011 @ 1:21 PM EST
