So sorry for your loss. Another life taken in the name of homophobia. And some people say that hate crimes laws give us "special" treatment! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers, as are the thousands of other LGBT teens who experience harassment and brutality on a daily basis as teachers and adults choose to look the other way.

To Larry's Family: My heart breaks for your loss. What a horrible senseless waste! May Jesus wrap you in his arms and give you the faith and strength to accept this tragedy. Larry is in the Lord's hands now, and will be hurt and tortured no more.
I will hold your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply saddened for your loss. We can only hope that more people become aware of the ongoing problem of hate and violence that seems to be prevalent in the world today, and take a stand against it. May you find peace through the wonderful memories that you have made with your son. Know that he was a gentle soul that made the world a better place. May God send you the grace to cope with this tragedy. God Bless You and I wish you peace!

I am so sorry for your loss. This hatefulness need to be put to rest. I wish you love light and peace!

My heart goes out to Larry's family, friends and teachers. I pray that his senseless murder will not be in vain and will mobilize people from all walks of life to finally get off their asses and TAKE ACTION to stop all types of homophobia!!! We need someone like Martin Luther King, Jr. to mobilize Americans to be intolerant of hate, simply because of someone's sexual identity. Where is that leader now? God willing, it could be Barack! I know I will continue my efforts on my high school campus where I'm the only "out" teacher and advisor of the school's Gay-Straight Alliance. We need everyone to take a stand. Come on people!!! DO IT FOR LARRY AND THE MILLIONS OF OTHER GLBT YOUTH WHO ARE BEING TORMENTED ON A DAILY BASIS! PLEASE!!!
Blessings and Peace,

May God Bless Larry and hold him in his arms while his family grieves this horrible and tragic life which has been lost to hate and un-necessary violence. THE HATE MUST STOP!!!!! PLEASE....Teach your children NOT TO HATE BECAUSE OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION!!!!!! WE ARE ALL EQUAL!!!

I may never have known, however, I have a boy your age who went through what you did. May you know that you are loved and that you will be missed.

Sorry to hear about this. We are holding a vigil here on Long Island on Wednesday. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

The unbelievable bravery of Larry will always be remembered by me, although I was not fortunate to know him personally. My thoughts go to his family.

Larry's tragic death breaks my heart. However, he continues to change this world. There is a large and powerful movement in his name against the intolerance that opresses so many who dare to be themselves.
Larry's death, as tragic as it is, has sparked a movement,
let us join in this movement on earth and with Larry in heaven!
