Today in a small ceremony, the men and women of the Wilmington Police Department took the time to honor you and the other brave Wilmington Police Officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in years past. Fittingly, with the 99th anniversary of your untimely and courageous departure approaching tomorrow, today was about you and your fallen brethren. Rest in peace always and know that your law enforcement family will never forget.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 85th 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 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.

It takes a dedicated person to walk the halls in a correction environment. It is truly an unforgiving place. It is tragic to leave the world in such a manner but society depends on people like you. I am sure the inmate was handled accordingly. May you rest in peace Mary. I know you are protecting us all.

Brother Davis,
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

A Million Times
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You would have never died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.

Rest easy my fellow sister, may God Bless you as you walk with him!!
