My thoughts and prayers to you and your family, even though this is the hardest thing you will ever go through I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that many people are praying for you at this time and all will be there with you in spirit.

My daughter is the same age as your son, and I'm in constant fear of the violence in school. Your son did not deserve this, not in this day and age when it is more socially acceptable to be yourself. My heart and prayers go to you and your family at this unfortunate time in your lives. He was such a handsome young man and I can tell he was loved very much, just from the photos. Keep that love for him and never lose it.

My heart goes out to this child's family. He did not deserve to have his life ended in such a manner. I pray that he knew how much he was loved. May he rest in peace and his soul and spirit abide with God. Family - stay strong, God will wipe away your tears!

Jesus loves ALL the little children. God bless Larry, his family and all that knew him. And thanks for sharing him with us.

may god grace strenghten you in the difficult time..

I am so sorry that this happened. Although Larry wasn't dressing in typical boy clothes, he shouldnt have been discriminated against, and even though he did ask Brandon to be his valentine, it really shouldnt have escaladed to that degree. How did Brandon even get a gun? there really needs to be more supervision and communication between adults and young teens, and acceptance should really be taught. Also, if harassment or discrimination is occuring it should be reported ASAP. I hope that Larry is now resting in peace in a place where he is accepted loved eternally.

what a sad day this has to be for you. as a mother who has lost a child i can say i know how you feel . you and larry will be in my prays always .

I am so sorry for the loss of this beautiful person. I am so sick of the intolerance and violence of this world. May he live on in everyone's hearts.

I would just like to say how sorry I am for your loss your video and poems brought me to tears, no one should ever have to go through what you are going through, no one should ever lose a child for any reason. My thoughs and prayers are with you all-God Bless Kathi Meyer

larry's story has touched my heart deeply. I only hope that schools across america and across the world will teach to no accept hate crimes, especially ones like these. there is no tolerance for any hate crime, and this story clearly shows what happens when bullying goes under the radar at schools, work places, and even commmunities. larry was a unique individiual who did not deserve to die for being who he was. i myself will pass this story along, especially to my school, to make people aware that henious hate crimes like these do happen, and to make people aware that they must do something to stop them from continuing. my heart goes out to you and your family, may larry rest in peace .
