I had not heard Larry's story until yesterday while watching Ellen. My heart broke. My 13 year old was watching the show with me. This was a conversation starter for us to talk about all sorts of discrimination and how my daughter should respond to people treating others badly. I am thankful that we had this conversation and then were able to take the time to pray for Larry's family. God Bless you all.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

My prayers go to your family. I heard Larry's story on Ellen, and was so shocked and saddened. May the Lord give you strength during this hard time.

I am so sorry for your loss and may God wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you in your time of sorrow. I pray that one day all people will be treated with the same respect that they deserve. There should be tougher laws regarding hate crimes and for the ignorant people that commit them. May Larry live in our hearts forever.

I heard about what happened on The Ellen show, my heart goes out to Larry's family & friends. Keep Larry's memory alive in your dreams and thoughts.

Rest in peace baby boy! I hope this send a message for people to change their ways toward people who are different. God be with you and your family.

My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I only wish that people what change their views against all forms of discrimination. It breaks my heart for all of you that this happened.

I am very sorry for your loss. May Larry's death not be in vain. He is at peace in heaven now. May your suffering be short lived, and may his memory serve as a reminder of the work we must all do in teaching and living peace and love of all. God bless us all in this endeavor. God bless you during this time of grieving the terrible loss of Larry, a beautiful Angel whom was in our midst for too short of a time.

I just wanted to say a prayer.
Lord Jesus, We come here today to remember a beautiful soul you have created that someone took so young. He had a destiny that you made for him.. You made him who he is.. and what he stood for in a world that is filled with hatred, very unloving. He stood for rights that he believed were true to his heart. I pray father God that he knew you and is sitting right next to you, laughing with you. Father God, i pray fopr the many people out there that has hatred for others and don't care but for themselves. I think if we could all just Follow you the right way... the world would be a different place......You died for our sins, wasn't that enough? I think so. Bless his family. Fill them with so much love and compassion and more so... forgiveness.... Thank you Jesus for all you do for each one of us and especially for your love and compassion with Larry! I bet he was one amazing kid!
Amen!

As an educator I can only hope that I as I continue to teach about hate and intolerance and how we need to erase it from our culture. I cannot even imagine the pain Larry must have suffered in his quest to be himself. God Bless you, Larry. May you never be forgotten.
