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.

Jim and I attended the Police Academy together. Our wives were school friends as well as neighbors. Upon graduation from the academy, we both had the pleasure of being assigned to the 79Pct. We had some great times together. Jim was one that would always make you laugh even in the most critical of situations. We grew up together as rookies and I will always miss him. Rest In Peace Jim !

This is dedicated to the love of my life. My husband James Joseph Cosgrove. He was a very dedicated father who loved his family very much. He will never know, or maybe he does know, just how much he was and still is missed. He was always a very happy guy. Always saw the funny things of life. He loved life itself. He always found time for his kids. There was a lot of joy in out household because of James. I know that our Lord, has our lives in the palm of His hands.
God bless you all.
His wife
