To the Sanchez family:

There is no need for you to continue reading these postings! Surround yourselves with the people who can recall all the good days you and Robert had. Many people are sympathetic and want to express themselves here! Know that most of us feel so sad for your loss! But every so often, a hurt soul will use these postings as a way to let their feelings air out! Don't be troubled by them. They are simply hurting, like all who knew Robert. I can't blame them either. But if you personally knew Robert, or are a family member, the rest of the messages after this one will be similar to all the ones you've already read. Go hug someone you love, and let the internet be the internet. What's real is what you can touch and feel!

Though I never knew Mr. Grace personally, I have a great respect for him. He was always known as the "nice" counselor. Devoted to sports, his school, and most of all, his family. I kno that as i write this your in heaven smiling down. Mr. Grace, i want you to know that you were a great inspiration to all, your students, colleuges, and family. I will miss you very much !

Mr. Grace was not only an intelligent and caring counselor, but he was a great man. I remember the endless hours I would spent in his office pleading for him to change my classes. Not only did the staff and administrators love him, but all students adored him as well. We will miss you dearly, Mr. Grace.

Tears are running down my face as I think back of the memories of having Mr. Long as my 7th and 8th grade English teacher (i think homeroom too :)as well as reading all these memories from other former Grace Brethren students and teachers. He was a wonderful example of an ordinary yet, Godly man who used his gifts and talents to touch the lives of hundreds of students throughout his teaching years. He introduced me to Christian Rock too, back in 1987. I always thought Christian Music consisted of old church hymns but nooo, Mr. Long introduced me to Petra and Michael W. Smith :). Mrs. Long and Devin-my family's heart and prayers go to you both, for the peace that transcends all understanding, which only our Heavenly Father can give.

Mr. Grace was not only an intelligent and caring counselor, but he was a great man. I remember the endless hours I would spend in his office whining for him to change my classes. Not only was he loved by the staff but all the students loved him as well. We will miss you dearly.

Wow! RIP when my high school teacher told me about this accident I was shocked! Mr. Grace was the best counselor Roosevelt middle school ever had he was like the heart and soul of the school anything you needed help with Mr.Grace would help us. He was always joking with us and being our friend. What can I say may god be with his family and RIP.

By the way that you care for your students I can only say that my deepest sympathy goes out to your family for the passing of your son.

ILOVE U CUZ I NO YOUR WITH UR DAD NOW, I WILL SEE U SOME DAY IN HEAVEN.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She seemed like a beautiful person, inside and out. I wish you peace in this time of sorrow.

My dear Roger. I will miss you. My deepest condolences to his entire family. Sincerely. Roger was one of the sweetest and most endearing persons you would want to ever meet. He was immensely easy to converse with as he wore his heart on his sleeve.

I worked with Roger at Anderson Printing in the mid to late 90's and recently rekindled the relationship as we happened to meet on the Metrolink in January '08. We would talk about the "old days" and carry quite a few laughs along with our conversations.

I have read all of the comments posted here and they are a true testament of whom Roger was, I truly appreciated and respected him as he will be with me for the remainder of my life.

God Bless you Roger, please keep heaven as organized and happy as you kept us and your profession, you will be missed dearly.
