Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Uncle Paul I wish I had known you better and much longer. I was at the hospital during your vigil. So many people came to support Yale and Judy.

You were wrapped in love and prayers, good thoughts and best wishes from so many people your fellow officers and family. But you couldn't stay. God called you home. I pray that you are somehow still involved in the lives of your grandchildren and great grands. And that you are reunited with your children up there in Heaven.
Wishing you appreciation, love and shalom.

I wish I had the chance to have met you. I am honored to be named after you. I had always grown up with the need to help others. Initially wanting to become a police officer and later in life I was drawn towards medicine. You will always be remembered.

Today marks 40 years ago you were shot. I sat by your hospital bed for 5 days believing you were going to pull through. I've tried to live my life to make you proud. I know you're watching over us. At least I have the memories of being "daddy's little girl" and you were my best friend.
I miss you every day.

All these years, it's been too painful for me to leave a reflection.

Today marks another anniversary date of live without my dad. After fighting hard for 5 days to live, he just couldn't recover. He's been missed so much and by so many. I still have a hole in my heart after all these years.

Today, another St. Louis Police Officer was buried after being killed in the line of duty. I know the pain his family and friends are suffering.

My dad will take care of that officer in Heaven as he has all the others for so many years.

I'm still proud to be Officer Paul Kramer's daughter

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 39th 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 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.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
