HI, MY YOUNGEST SON IS GAY AND I COULD NOT LOVE HIM MORE OR LESS THAN MY OLDEST SON WHO IS A MARRIED HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER WITH A YOUNG SON. THIS IS THE WORST TRAGEDY I HAVE EVER HEARD. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU. YOUR SON IS STILL BEAUTIFUL. HIS SENSLESS DEATH WILL SERVE A PURPOSE TO ENLIGHTEN PEOPLE ON LOVE & ACCEPTANCE. THIS WORLD NEEDS TO LEARN A LESSON FROM THIS TRAGEDY. LARRY DID NOT DIE IN VAIN. TAKE COMFORT FROM KNOWING THAT, PLEASE. GOD BLESS YOU. I KNOW YOUR HEART WILL ALWAYS HURT FROM YOUR LOSS.

To the parents of Larry: I am just learning of your tragic loss. It has saddened my heart to read Larry's story. No matter what anyone thought of him, no one had the right to take his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

people r different but who cares. u and i live our lives as we want 2 so let others do the same! i have gay friends and i love them 2death. this is such a horrible tragedy and my prayers go out 2 the family. god has a wonderful angel with him!

I have just finished reading the article posted on MSN this morning about your son. I am deeply saddened that we live in such an intolerate world. I have a grown daugther and a son a year younger than Larry. Even in the South there are parents like myself who are trying to raise our children to be accepting of others and love others no matter what the differences may be. Your son's life is a true testimony and will hopefully enlighten and educate so many around the golbe. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and know that he didn't die in vain. The story has touched my life this morning on the other side of the U.S. and I will pray for your family daily that God will help comfort you in these trying times.

iam sorry for your tragic loss . you have a beautiful son . my thoughts and prayers are with you .

i didnt know Larry at all.Just found out about this horrific incident and it makes me very sad.
just know that Larry is in a better place now and i will keep him in my prayers

The tragic murder of such a beautiful boy with so much to live for is just heart breaking! I cant help questioning why people are so ignorant and heartless! My thoughts and heart really go out to the family of Larry and although he is gone, he will never be forgotten! I didn't know him but his story really has touched me and as I have read from these comments, it has had the same effect on hundreds of other people. Rest is peace angel and god bless xxAimeexx

DEAR LARRY KING,
IN SPIRIT, YOU WILL GET MY MESSAGE.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BUT AFTER READING YOUR ARTICLE SIX MONTHS LATER IN THE NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE, I COULD DO NOTHING BUT CRY.
I HAVE CRIED SO MUCH FOR YOU LIKE I KNEW YOU THAT IT AIN'T FUNNY!
WHAT IS EVEN MORE SAD FOR ME IS THAT YOU PASSED AWAY ON MY BIRTHDAY AND IT HURTS ME EVEN MORE, SO BAD!
EVEN THOUGH I AM A LOT OLDER THAN YOU ARE, LARRY, I TRUTHFULLY FEEL THAT WE ALREADY KNEW EACH OTHER.
I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW AS I WRITE YOU THIS LETTER AND THE TEARS WON'T STOP COMING AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY.
IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE CRIED LIKE THIS AND THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DO RIGHT NOW IS TO SIT HERE AND WRITE YOU THIS LETTER.
I WISH I KNEW YOU.
I COULD HAVE HELPED YOU SO MUCH AND BEEN YOUR BEST FRIEND.
LARRY, YOU WERE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BOY AND MAN AND STILL ARE.
MY GOD, WOULD WE HAVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS IF I ONLY KNEW YOU.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU...
