Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the third 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.

I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

To the family and friends of Officer Mason, just wanted you to know that you are not the only ones that remember Shynelle. Even though I never had the pleasure of meeting her, I can tell that she was a wonderful person, just by the posts that you leave here for her...she was a very lucky woman to have such wonderful people in her life. I was here leaving a note for Shane Britton, EOW 07-19-00 and wanted to leave a reflection here as well to let you know that I was thinking of Officer Mason as well. They both gave the ulitmate sacrafice the same week...I remember well when the news of Officer Mason's shooting came out and Shane said what a shame that someone would think that it's okay to retaliate against an Officer that was just doing their job...protecting the citizens of Detroit. Then we lost him a few days later in an accident responding to a call for service, I know in my heart that Shynelle welcomed him home to that big Department in the sky and that all of these Fallen Officers are protecting the streets of gold now today, waiting for each of us to come home as well. Please know that as the 10 year mark approaches I will be thinking of your family and saying a special prayer for all of you as well. I've had the pleasure of meeting some of you at the MI-COPS Christmas events and am truly blessed because of it! RIP Shynelle and know that you will NEVER be forgotten.

Hey cousin tomorrows your birthday. As i sit here and think about you tears come to my eyes. But they aren't tears of sorrow, but tears of happiness as i think of all the good memories we have. The summers spent in Battle Creek at my aunt Carrie's house taking Carson and Brandi to the park. Going bike riding in the neighborhood. Eating sugar toast or how about the homemade donuts you taught me how to make. I could go on for days and days about the things we did. I miss you so much and I no u hear me when I talk to you day to day I can feel you. I Love You Pig Happy Birthday!

Hey Shynelle, as I walk through the living room everyday and see your picture I know that you are watching over us and our household. Our family was truly blessed for having had you in our lives even if only for a short period of time. You’ve shown all of us how to enjoy life and to love. And I thank you for that. Bless you to Agent Martin for praying for you, and sitting with you when we couldn't be there.

As I always say you don't choose your family members they are given to you and GOD BLESSED US by giving us YOU....

Love always
Cousin Carrie...

To Shynelle,

I periodically visit this site to reflect and pay respect to the friends I have lost. I don't normally type a reflection but your memory has stuck with me for years and I want to speak to you today.

I still remember being one of the first to respond and you looking at me as we sat in the parking lot and I held your hand. I did not know you at the time but I still held you and prayed. Your passing has affected me and stayed with me still to this day. I have been in situations since then that I have asked myself how did I make it and then I would see your face. Thank you for your dedication and for watching over your brothers and sisters in blue. You are loved by so many as it's apparent from the messages left here. Obvioulsy you had a huge impact on people's lives and you continue to do so still today. I will never forget that day. God bless you and your family. You will never be forgotten, Shynelle. You and your family are always in my prayers.

Sister, I miss you very much,I wish you were here. I think about you everyday. It doesn't seem like 8 years has past. I remember the last day when you kissed me and told me you loved me and drove away. I look back at all the good times, you made me laugh and no matter how many times a day we passed one another you would always say "I love you brother". I am still trying to deal with losing you,because you were taken away from me too soon! When I dream of you and I wake up my eyes are filled with tears but I have a smile on my face because it makes me feel good to see you. I haven't seen you in a while come to me and bring me a smile. Love your big brother

"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.
