We heard of this tragedy today and wanted to express our sympathy.There are children just like Larry across the country.Larry was brave enough to express his felings openly.Hopefully this will not stop other children and adults from opening up.We need to educate everybody that "coming out" is not a bad thing.Please believe me that what Larry did will never be forgotten.He was brave on earth and will be more brave in Heaven.

its very heart breaking. your family is in my thoughts & prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss of your son. I too have lost a son, when he was 12. Please help something good to come of this senseless loss of his life! Hate is never right!

I am so sorry for your loss. People just show no compassion for each other these days. Having lost a child myself, I know how difficult it is. Larry was a beautiful child and regretfully his life was cut way too short. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Larry seems to have been a lovely young man.

it is the worst thing in the world to have to bury your son..but he was A TRUE person and i hope that a least can easy your pain. I hope that something good comes from this tragic loss. my son is the same age and i talked to him and ask if someone gay was around school what would you do?? he said mom i dont care and that is not enough to hate them. please parents just talk to your kids teach them not to hate or judge their peers.
with love and respect for your GREAT SON he did the right thing

You've loved your son, unknown to us but living now as an example of love and courageous expression. I'm so sorry that he met such fear an another, and that his time here has ended so brutally. Thanks for sharing, and for reminding us to be aware daily of our love for our own sons.

Larry was braver and more in touch with his feelings than many people I know. I admire his strength to listen to his heart, instead of being stopped by ignorance, fear or intolerance. I wish everyone peace and love. I wish his family the strength they so badly need. May dear brave wonderful Larry rest in peace.

Sometimes children are taken from us suddenly. It can be tragic to ones left behind. But those children have a purpose in heaven, to become a teacher of innocence and tolerance, and sometimes to become Angels to help those left behind.
I hope that Larry's death can help change the world to be kinder in life.
I give you my heart and prayers and hope for peace in your heart.
Love and Light,
Theresa Douglas
