I am so sorry that this has happened and I can not begin to understand. This does not boil down to one child's mental problems. It boils down to society's mentality. This behavior of violence and ignorance is being taught at home. There are so many children that except each other and then there are just as many that do not understand individuality. If someone took my child's life due to the fact that she was just being herself. How could I go on? She is my life. I am so sorry for your life lost. The King family will be in my prayers and heart. I see how much he was loved at home and now you know how much the world loves him too.

My thoughts are with your family.

True love never dies. Bless Larry and send him on his way. Bless also the young man who did this and pray that he finds his way.

So sad to hear of this tragic loss. No one can tell me that we are teaching our children to hate someone whose different. We need to stop the madness and let everyone live in peace, however they choose. God bless this young man's family and may you find peace in your memories of Larry.

i am so sorry for your loss. please stay strong. my prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss and for how Larry had to suffer due to the ignorance of his peer. He was a beautiful child and after viewing the slideshow, it is obvious how much he was loved. My thoughts are with him and with those who loved him.

I wish that I had the ability to have the strength that he had. I didn't come out till I was 27 because I was afraid. I wish he had the opportunity that I have now to be 40 and be strong and gay and happy and proud.
Love to all who loved him.

To the King family--
you and your loved ones are in my prayers. i cant even comprehend the pain you must be experiencing. it is a sad thought that this can go on with children of such a young age. My heart is extended to you all, and i hope you find comfort in knowing that Lawrence will always be in your thoughts, and in your hearts. Lawrence had the courage, and the strength to be exactly who he was, and we can all learn a valuable lesson from him. he was much more wise beyond his years, more that he probably realized.
-With all my heart,

I just wanted to express my sorrow and send my condolences to your family and friends. It is a tragedy and I know I'll never forget reading about this angel.

Tonight i prayed for Larry that he is now free and in a place that their is no such thing as hate.I lite a candle as well and i prayed for Larrys family that they are able to always live there lifes in a way that would make Larry proud and that they would begin to fight hate crimes so that no family is ever split up like this ever again.
I am so sorry for the familys lose and i am also sorry that somebody else felt they needed to take it this far. I hope that the person who did this finds God.Because its clear that a lamb went stray from Gods herd and commited a horrible act.
