Dear Larry
Where were we when you needed our protection.
Our eternal shame that we have not done enough to end the protection society gives to such hatred.
Our most inadequate and heartfelt apologies for letting you be hurt.
Your death is our death.
Go with peace where your journey takes you now - free spirit that you are.
Oliver

It's really tragic when 15 year olds have access to fire arms and try to resolve disputes/disagreements through murder. This shows the mental state of our world. My deep sympathy for both Larry's family and for the family who raised a murderous monster.

There are no words...

I am so proud of Larry for living an authentic life, and so sad it ended too soon. I know he is at peace now. I am sending prayers to his family and friends.

To think that such a young, beautiful life was cut short becuase this young man tried to be himself and others could not appreciate the majesty of all human life breaks my heart. My soul cries out with love and remembrance to this young man, and I offer my sympathy and solemn respect to his family. Requiescat in pace.

Although I did not ever meet you I admire and respect your courage and your beautiful spirit, and I am sorry for your having been taken from us. God bless you, always.

Oh what can an old man say...it is so difficult to find words when such sadness swells within me and tears fill these eyes of mine.
A young boy..with the courage to be free, and brought to his death because he dared to be authentically real...Go in peace, young man and may we all learn something from your brief and treasured life.

Larry, Your life was cut short due to ignorance and fear. I celebrate you for being true to yourself.

am so sad to hear of this. It breaks my heart to see this happen. I am sure Larrys heart beat just like the person standing next to him, he has the same soul. Although I did not know you I will fight until the day I die to end this horrible violence. You my friend are an amazing person and may you rest in peace. Until we meet in heaven I will be on earth trying to change one person at a time to end this violence.

How awfully sad that this tragedy took place. Rest in peace Lawrence, and know that thousands of us will not forget you.
