It was with great shame and sorrow that I learned of the circumstances of the death of this young boy. Both my husband and I are shocked that something like this should happen to any child, let alone to a child in a middle school in our quiet city. To have another child commit this act upon Larry defies description. It is hate and unfounded fear that killed Larry, and what we need is more tolerance in an increasingly intolerant world, lest more of these tragedies play out. To Larry's family and friends, we share your devastation and dismay. Let us all learn from this travesty and pledge to further tolerance and love above all else.
