You were a role model to many, and you had a bright future ahead of you. Although this tragedy hits everyone especially your family and friends, I believe the most tragic thing is you were never able to live up to you full potential and follow all your dreams.

We will all miss you.

If ever there was a student that we remember with a smile, it is Atul. I know that so many others share my feelings of trememendous loss and sadness, along with unforgettable memories of an individual who brightened our days. Although his stay was much too short, he brought great things to this world and made a mark that will never fade. Lots of love to Aseem and Atul's parents.

When I found out about this tragedy, I was shocked and upset. Mr. Grace was a very respected and got along greatly with others. He was filled with lots of knowledge and was a big inspiration to others. He did an amazing job at Roosevelt Middle School and made Roosevelt a better place to learn. This is a heart-breaking accident that has brought sorrow to many. I wish you happiness in later life and I am very sorry to your family and friends. Tomorrow, when I step into Roosevelt, I will be very gloomy to see a amazing person gone out of my life. R.I.P

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.
