Gabby, I saw you on the news Friday when they first interviewed you. You did not know what was going on at the time. Since then I was thinking about what happened with you and your sister. I am so sorry for you and your family having to go thru this nightmare. My prayers are with all of you and I wish you the best in fulfilling your sisters dreams.

For Atul the sky was the limit. He excelled in everything he did. His laughter was infectious and was an incredible communicator. An unforgettable individual that left an impact with every acquainted person. Truly Atul had a boundless potential for greatness we all could see. Atul you will be sorely missed.

My deepest condolences to you Aseem and your family.
Please know my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you.

It was an honor knowing Roger. His humor and cheerful ways always filled our work place with laughter. I enjoyed talking with him about our mutual passion for trains and soccer (his beloved Chelsea). I will greatly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I'm a former student at Roosevelt and Mr. Grace was my counselor and wow. It's just such a big shock that he was part of this crash. I know hes looking down at all these posts from up above in Heaven. He'll be GREATLY missed and will be forever remembered by us all. SO LETS ALL PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY AND THE OTHER FAMILIES OF THE OTHERS WHO PASSED AWAY FROM THIS CRASH.

On July 29th I lost the love of my life, suddenly and tragically. Believe me, I know what you're going through right now. I cannot offer any words of comfort, because I know that there aren't any. You just live with the pain and it becomes a part of your life. I just wanted you to know that your are not alone. There are others united with you in your terrible sorrow, others who have asked the same question.....WHY? So much to live for, so many dreams and plans. I know and others know and share your deep sorrow.
I'll hold you in my heart.

Keep in mind
  • The Times initially mispelled the name of Michael Hammersley and Beverly Mosley.
  • The coroner's office reported a 26th victim the afternoon of Sept. 15, but a few hours later said the tally was 25.

Chatsworth Metrolink Crash is the Los Angeles Times' database of fatalities from the Sept. 12, 2008, train collision.
