Reflections for Sheriff Lewis Palmer "Lew" Wallace

Sheriff Wallace,
On today, the 90th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 36th "Texas" Division during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I am Evelyn Joanell Murrin, daughter of Lettie Jean Wallace, the only child of Lewis Wallace. I have never seen this before and am blessed beyond belief. Thank everyone who has participated in this tribute. I never met my grandfather as he died when my mother was seven. I have never heard anything but good about him and I take great pride in having him as a decendant. May God bless and protect you.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 80th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. 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
