We know the Fuller Family from School and Church.
Jenny, whom my son Travis and I love dearly, was Travis's
5th grade teacher and what a blessing that was for him.
Kristi holds a very special place in my heart and I am
praying for you daily honey. My husband Jon also had the
pleasure of praying with Kristi on the day she was baptized
and what a special day that was. Walt will be missed by so
many but as followers of Christ we all know what an amazing
place he is in right now. By the Grace of God you will
all get through this. God Bless you guys.
All our Love,
Tammy, Jon, Travis and Austin Gerlach

I knew Ron Grace as Coach Grace. He was a physical education and U.S. history teacher at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox school in Northridge before he moved on to RMS. He developed the sports program at the school. I can still remember him writing his notes on the black board for our history classes. He made history come alive. I was just talking about him this week with friends. God bless you Coach, you inspired my love of history that flourishes today. You will be truly missed. St. Nicholas Class of '85

Hey Mike...I know you will be forever in everyone's memory.
We shared many great times together in the Comic book store and collecting action figures, always looking for the the elusive error or special edition rare. Your smile and laugh was infectious. I will miss you!!!
My thoughts are with your family.

My prayers are with the Remata family.

Donna was a beautiful person, always so professional, kind and helpful in her position. She was the epitome of customer service.

May God strengthen and comfort each of you.

I'll never forget those Christmas's at Grandma's house. You never had any trouble convincing us to go out and play some football in the church parking lot. No matter how cold or how snowy, we were out there having a great time. Even in the snow on that slippery ass blacktop you could outrun any of us.
Your quick wit kept us all on our toes, your brothers and mine. there was nothing better than a night of picking on each other and telling stories of the stupid things we did growing up, it was all good fun.
My prayers go out to Aunt Donna, Uncle Roy, Heath, Shaun, Sharon, Samantha, Katie and all of the other family and friends you had touched the lives of.

You will be missed Chris, We love you.

Mr. Grace was my counselor from 93-95. He was caring, compassionate, and had an incredible amount of patience. I remember him on two occasions. 1)He called me into his office to fix a quarrel I had with another class mate and would not let me leave until we resolved it. 2) He helped my mother and I out when I became pregnant in 9th grade. He knew I would do great and believed in not only me but everyone of his students. He was also my daughters counselor in 7th grade and he helped her succeed academically, he was a man dedicated to his students and he will never be forgotten. I'm grateful my family and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Grace during our lifetime.
