Spree was a kind, genuine and sincere person. She was also a dedicated, hard working and trusted police officer. She had a beautiful smile and a quick wit. I worked with Spree for several years at North Hollywood and always found her to be a quiet but strong soul. When Spree asked how you were doing, you could tell she meant it. To Spree's parents, Laura, family and friends, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know there are no words to say that can quantify the feelings of sadness. Unimaginable, I am sure. Spree, its time to "walk a beat on Heaven's streets, you've done your time in Hell." Thank you Spree.

my heart goes out to you seeing a mother lose a child is the most horrible thing god chooses our fate why we ask about his choises but we dont get any answers but its gods wish

I don't know the Villalobos Family, but I'm just so sadden by the loss of Maria. She was so young with a promising future ahead of her. I have many nieces and nephew that it breaks my heart to see young people pass. My husband graduated many years ago from FIDM and he too use to commute on the train. Maria may you rest in peace.

I remember when I first met you Kari..You were coming to Barnes with your sister for our study group. You were so lively and cheerful, a really nice girl who made everyone feel so comfortable. I will never forget you and your smile. Hearing that you are gone is unreal. Bless you.

I never had the blessing of meeting this man of God in person. but I have been greatly blessed to have know his children, my friends. I have grown up in the church, and you can almost always know what a man is like by observing his family. and Doyle was very clearly an amazing, encouraging, devout man, who I will one day get to meet. his children know that he would want even his death to be a testimony of Gods grace and loving mercy.
Romans 8:38-39 tells us how not even death can separate us from our loving father. and now he is with our father. amen!
my prayers, and those of many people are with the entire Souser family!

Gabby and Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Aida is such a beautiful woman and I'm sure she's at a better place now. I can't sleep because I have nieces and nephew around Aida's age and it breaks my heart to see such a young life be taken away. I couldn't help but to go on myspace and read more about Aida. God Bless.

His caring and kind nature showed all the time. It saddens me to hear that a saint like Mr. Grace had to leave this world. We need more people like him. My condolences to his family and friends.

i did not know Mr. Grace at all.
i didnt even attend roosevelt.
but for some reason i feel like piece of me has been torn away.
from skimming through this page, i get tears in my eyes
lots of love to his family,
and may this wonderful man rest in peace.

remember everythign happens for a reason, this is definitely not pleasing but there is hope for all left to come to us.

Thank you for all your love and support to our family during this time of transition. We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family.

The loss of my husband will be difficult, but I find strength in my wonderful children, family and friends.

There are so many that have been touched by this horrible accident, please keep them in your prayers. The rescue workers, volunteers, red cross, LA County Mayors staff, and the 100's of everyday heroes helped to make the 20+ hours of waiting, praying into a bearable process.

We bonded with many of the families that have also lost loved ones, we were one of six families at the end. It is horrible to lose any loved one, but the loss of a child is pretty near unbearable. Those families left after us where all parents awaiting word, some had to go to the hospital to identify their teenage daughters. Those amazing parents took time away from their grief and suffering to reach out to us after we made that horrible march to the clergy office.

My father and I wiped our tear stained faces, promptly placed our sunglasses in place, leaned on each other and planned to make a bee line for our car. We opened the door and there stood all of those amazing families, peace officers, volunteers, firemen, and the Mayors staff. They had left there safe Auditorium Room and walked that walk
with us, we didn't even know they where behind us. The biggest group hug began and the healing began.

A kind Sheriff named Paul followed us all the way home, and our pastor and small group joined us at home to break the news to our family. The amazing support has continued.

Broken hearts are nothing compared to those 100's that are and will be physically broken for a long, long time. Please keep them and their famiies in your prayers. We too have been through that process and after the dust settles, the media hype dies down, they will still need all the good will we can collectively give them.

Let us never forget God made us a people of choice. Our choices in life can and do impact others, all those who belong to this amazing network have the power to create change, to motivate and uplift each other...Dean believed in creating change through bringing cultures together helping to teach that no matter the color of our skin,
religious preference, or economic status that being true and understanding others was a path to peace.

The best way we can honor the loss of this amazing man (ok I am a bit biased) is to walk our path with our heads held high, and think of the impact of our choices.

We look to have a celebration of life party the Sunday after next. I will post the time and place as soon as we have them.

Thank you dear friends...Kim

Dear Juan, Gabby and the Magdaleno Family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you. I had Aida in first grade and I will never forget her beautiful smile and generous spirit. I remember Juan and Aida stopping by our school to say hello a few years ago and I was so impressed at the amazing lady she had become. It makes sense that Aida would choose to become a social worker and give back to her community, just as all of your family members have done in some capacity. She was so lucky to have such a wonderful, loving, supportive and hardworking family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
