As a parent I am devistated for your loss and also as a parent I recognize the need for all parents to teach our children how wrong it is to hate anyone not only gay people but other religons and races as well. The loss of this innocent child is heartbreaking!

I am so sorry for our loss. I'm 15 and i can't tell you how many times i here people refer to something as "gay". The kids im talking about don't even begin to comprehend what they are actually saying, and that doesn't even begin to cover it. i will do everything in my power to make sure that nothing like this ever happens ever again. I promise.

I hope you are up there looking down on us. The love you had will always shine for all to see. you rest in peace and be happy

May Lawrence rest in peace. This has got to be the most horrible hate crime i have ever heard of. It is ashame and heartbreaking to know what this world has come to now. No longer are words harsh enough to bring a child down, it has come to the point were weapons have to be used. May he rest in peace and watch over everyone even those who are against his beliefs. God Bless You Lawrence for being unique and wonderful in your own way. No one can ever take that away from you. May those who acted against you be in our prayers and help them. You will be missed by those who were so fortunate to have been apart of your life.

Your life is an inspiration to me, young man. I am humbled by the legacy you have lived. I am a much better individual because of your true self. To you, I am grateful.
Namaste.

May you rest in peace you sweet and innocent child. You will never be forgotten, your memory will live on..this story has touched me more than what words can say. I will never understand why this had to happen..why people are so afraid of people that stay true to themselves..and when is it ok to kill someone because they are gay?? when will this sensless killing stop why does an innocent child have to die out of someone elses fear...may you smile down on us larry, and know that you have a strength that not many are able to find in oneself. You did not die in vain..I did not know you but know that I Love you...and may you rest in peace...

I just want to say that his death will not be in vain. I know that this hurts really bad right now but just think of how much of a man you raised in that little boy. He was and will always be SPECIAL.. Much love

Another little angel arriving in heaven too soon due to ignorance and hate. My condolences go to Larry’s immediate family and friends, and to all the other families who have been victims of hate.

I write this through tears. This seems so senseless. How can this EVER happen! I only hope that from this horrific tragedy, the outcry will save others!

We ALL have prejudices and those that think THEY do not scare me. The ONLY way to reduce our prejudices is to educate ourselves and stop judging what we do not understand. We have to do this as the human race or we are no more evolved than then any animal on the planet.
