My Daughter was in Mrs. Fuller 5th grade class in 2006-2007. Knowing Mrs. Fuller and her son Casey who would come into the class to teach on special days. Christine would feel very blessed to have both teaching the class. With my son still attending the same school I look forward to seeing her smiling face. So I am sure that her husband Walt was and will always be just as special as his wife made us feel.
Our thought and prayers are with her and her family.

Gaby,
I dont know you or your sister but I saw you on TV prior to knowing your sister had passed and I was so moved by you. I prayed to God your sister would be found safely, I kept watching the news hoping to hear good news, and last night I found out Aida was gone. I cried at your loss and cried for this senseless ordeal has cut your sisters life too short. If anything can give you peace...please know your sister was meant to move on and do bigger and better things in her new life with God. I am truly so sorry and you and your family are in my deepest thoughts and prayers. Remember...God only selects the most beautiful roses for his garden...that is why he needed Aida. Bless you mama...and Aida.

I walked behind Maria when we graduated this past June. It is so heart breaking that even though I spent a couple lunches with her, hung out with her at a birthday party, and walked the halls of school a couple times with Maria that I didnt really take the time to get to know her on a different level. She is in my prayers and will forever be in my heart. Don't take life for granted, know the people you surround yourself with, you will regret it.

Dear Gabby,

My family and I are so saddened by your loss of Aida. I was so deeply moved to see your desparate search for your sister on Friday night--and I kept listening to the news to see what had transpired. I can't imagine how helpless you and your parents felt, but know that all of LA is behind you and your family.

Your relationship with your sister and your family is one that you obviously deeply cherish and one that others should live by.

May Aida's memory live forever in your hearts and minds.

Our prayers are with you.
