Missy and Family,
I will never forget Manny's big bright smile! Missy, I know he looked up to you too! Hang in there girl, may you and your family find the comfort you need through the memories he's made with your family.

I remember Paul from Shiloh Community Church in Moorpark many, many years ago.
He and his wife were always so kind and he so energetic.
My condolences to the family for your earthly loss of him at this time and my heart rejoices in the assurance that he personally knew Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Hugs to you!
Sincerely,
Janet

Paul was a man of great compassion who loved Jesus, his family and his students. He was a servent committed to Christian Education and a co-founding teacher of Grace Brethren High School in 1987. May his students never forget the Grace he lived out before them everyday and keep their hearts and eyes focused on Jesus Christ. He will be missed.

I hope to one day say from the bottom of my heart that I forgive. I just can't right now. I am angry. This was not an accident it was a bound to happen. For each of us that text and talk while driving put so many at risk. Someone somewhere had a responsiblity with that many lives at hand to make sure minds are clear. I pray that Mr. Sanchez's soul is at peace. I also pray that I am able to one day visit his grave site and actually tell him that I forgive him and that I know he would have never allowed himself to get distracted if he knew it was going to cause to many people to die. I also hope that one day I am able to visit the gravesite of my family member and that I am able to be there and remember all the good times we had. To the Sanchez family. You are not to blame, I understand that. But please give me time to "get over it" right now its just too soon. One day I pray that I will honestly be able to send word to you that I do forgive. May God and faith get you though the next few weeks and that you find time to heal. I don not blame you, I am still angry.

I am truly saddened to hear about Paul. He was my teacher at Indian Hills Academy in the early 80's. Mr. Long always had a way of connecting with his students. I had not seen him in over 20 years until last summer when I went to his church. It was good to see both of them and to actually be remembered after all of these years have passed. I am so greatful that I had the opportunity to reconnect with Mr. & Mrs. Long. I know that Paul is with the Lord. I hope that Mrs. Long and their son heal from their injuries. The loss of their father/husband is an emmence pain that I cannot imagine. With faith, I hope that they will persevere. All of my love and prayers to the Long family.

Media is a circus at times. Let this man RIP!! Like everyone else, do not blame, just pray for all touched by this horrific accident.

Donna's definition of a friend was -

"A friend is someone that reaches for your hand and touches your heart."

Donna was truly a friend of mine. I will miss her.

My sincere condolences to Donna's family.

My Brother is a conductor on a different line. He speaks highly of you, Mr. Sanchez. My heart has been breaking since 4:50pm last Friday evening, when my Husband who works two miles from the crash site called me at home to alert me, thinking it was our Brother's train. This accident claimed the life of my Husband's co-worker and friend; we are waiting to hear if others who have not shown up to work were also on the train that day. I'm saddened and sickened to see the rush to judgment publicly displayed in the media. Until it is proven, beyond a reasonable doubt the actual cause of this immense tragedy, I hope the media refrains from publishing "theories" which are not helpful to our community, nor the families of those who, along with you, perished...

I pray for you, your family, and all the VICTIMS of this ACCIDENT.

Although I have not seen Buck in many years. I did have the priveledge of spending the majority of my childhood with the Buckley family. Diane and I were Best Friends growing up and Tish and Buck always treated me like family. Buck was a wonderful and caring man, I will never forget him. My heart goes out to all of the family. My thoughts and Love are with all of you at this difficult time.
