My heart breaks for Larry's family and friends. May God comfort you the rest of your days. I have a son who was beaten at school because he is believed to be gay. He chose not to report the incident after being punched in the head and called the f word. This hate can no longer be tolerated in our society. Everyone must take a stand and speak out against the fear, ignorance and hate. Larry sounds like a very special child. His short life represents all that is good. This precious little boy will remain in our hearts and our conciousness forever.

when i read his story it broke my heart. many prayers to his friends and family.

Dear Larry,
Your courage to stand tall for who you knew yourself to be at such a young age is amazing. Tho I did not know you, I will remember your bravery always, and be inspired. Walk peacefully among the angels now, and know your life on earth mattered to many.

I am so sorry this had to happen to him and your family. My heart goes out to you. I pray for a more loving world.

Dear God, what will it take before EVERY school adopts a zero tolerance for ANY type of bullying? Each school year should start with an assembly on the subject followed by a week of campaigning & on an ongoing basis to encourage any student to come forward at the slightest threat or indication of bullying. The matters should be dealt with immediately & include the students involved & their parents. A student should feel that their school is a safe haven where you can stand up for yourself, for others & there will school policy, staff & peers to back you up. One student may feel week or fear retaliation but, a campus standing together represents strength. Larry's death will NOT be in vain. We must see changes, visible changes. Having rules & policies just sitting on the books, do no good. We must see action & the sooner, the better.
My heartfelt condolences to the family. May knowing that you & Larry have so many people who care, comfort you in some small way.

THIS YOUNG INNOCENT VICTIM'S LIFE TAKE WAS ONE OF IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY, AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BOTH LARRY I AM SORRY, AND MY HEART GOES OUT TOO ALL WHO KNEW HIM. MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU.

I was sad to hear about this tragic situation, I pray that the peace of God would bring comfort to you during this difficult time not only for the family but, for the staff and students at E.O Green school. Also for the officers and investigators at the scene, coronor's office too... Only God and time will heal, and rest assured that Larry is with Jesus....

Little one, you are in the hands of God now and forever in his light. We will not forget you. Your life was brief like a firefly and just as brilliant. Your life matters more than anyone can know.

LARRY, IT SO SAD FOR OTHERS TO CHOOSE TO TAKE AWAY A LIFE THAT IS NOT THERES. YOU CHOSE TO BE WHO YOU WANTED TO BE, SO THAT MADE YOU A VERY STRONGE PERSON. YOU WILL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER...
YOU GO GIRL.... LOVE ALWAYS R.I.P.

I THINK ITS WONDERFUL THAT A FAMILY CAN SUPPORT THEIR CHILD EVEN IF THEY DONT NECESSARLY AGREE WITH WHAT THEY FEEL. I FIND WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SON TRAGIC AND HEART BREAKING AND IT AMAZES ME HOW SOMETHING SO SAD CAN HAPPEN TO A BOY WHO SEEMS TO BE SMILING IN EVERY PICTURE. OUR SYMPATHY'S GO OUT TO YOU, FOR NOW YOU ARE LIVING THE FEAR OF EVERY "DIFFERENT" CHILDS PARENT. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LIFE CUT SHORT. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS! MAY YOU REST IN PEACE LARRY.
