When I saw Gabby on TV I cried. I pray each day that God be with
The Magdaleno family during this time of great sadness.

I worked with Spree a number of years ago when she was hoping to be a Police officer. We that worked with her knew her dedication and commitment as well as her big heart. She is an outstanding person, a free spirit and my heart breaks to have someone so full of life gone from this world. God now has an angel that already earned her wings. Fly Spree!!! God bless you!

God Bless you my friend.

I was at work when I read that Donna Renata's life was taken in such a tragic way. I read about her daughter's beautiful tribute to her mom in the Los Angeles Times.I never have met Donna but a loss like this affects the entire MTA family. I would like to extent my condolences to the Renata family and especially to her children stay strong and always know that you mom's love for life has touched everyone here at MTA.

Pete was a kind man that you never had to question his faith. His faith and love were evident to all who knew him. He would always smile when he talked about his wife or one of his kids. I know next to God, they were the center of his life. His kindness will truly be missed. My prayers go out to the whole Kish family. Peace, comfort and blessings be upon you all.

I know that in this society, the TV is quick to be the judge and the jury because people want answers. I hope that everyone reserves judgment until all investigations have been completed.

My condolences to Mr. Sanchez's family and loved ones.

I am very sorry for your loss. I don't not personally know Jacob, but my deepest sympathy goes out to your family, friends, and others who knew you. It is a sad thing that I will have never gotten to know you.

I'm a mom of an 18 year old son who just started college. I cannot imagine how the family must be feeling now. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Kari,
You do not know me, as a matter of fact, I hardly know you. However, you have changed my life. You have changed the lives of several peers and friends forever. You're presence is missed and we will always remember you, your warm spirit, and positive attitude. Hart couldn't have a better guardian angel.
May you peacefully rest forever in eternity.

  • The coroner's office reported a 26th victim the afternoon of Sept. 15, but a few hours later said the tally was 25.
