My prayers and thoughts have been with Gabby and her family constantly this weekend. They are a beautiful family. Please God, bless them, watch over them, and take care of their Angel.

Sitting here thinking back I remember him for the laughter and what a good friend he was to everyone. Heaven has a special place for him. I am so sorry for your loss and he will be missed. I will pray for all of you. (R-H Alumni class of 1989)

I am in shock to hear of Dean's passing. Kim and Dean Brower are owners of Pulse Drumming in Ventura Ca. I had been out of town and received via e mail from Kim. I have no words as I sit here typing this Kim except love, support, courage in your time of deep deep sorrow. I met Dean once, a beautiful loving person. May your family find peace today, may the comfort of God cover you and hold you in this time of loss. My drums are silent they drum no music. For the silent is sorrow, and pain for you, Kim.

I lite my candle for Dean and Kim and their family.
I pray that peace will comfort them.
Let us all pray for Gods Hand to hold this beautiful family as one, as they travel into sorrow.
Always remebering the love of this wonderful person
Always remebering that God and his Angels are with Dean.
May you find peace in the coming days
May you always know that we all love you and our prayers are with you today.
God holds us
God gives us strenght
I love you Kim

Gabby, I don't know you but I am so sorry about you and your family's loss. It broke my family's heart when we saw you on TV. We were hoping that she was safe would call you soon, please know that our prayers are with you. I have a 19yr little sister too and I cried when I saw the pictures of you both on TV. Please know that nothing breaks the bond of sisters, not time, not space and certainly not death. She will always be with you until you both can be together forever.

This is beyond my understanding, but I can say from a truly heartfelt place that Atul had a spirit about him that just burst with love and compassion. We haven't seen each other since high school, but I distinctly remember the laughter and smile you brought to those around you. You were such a profound thinker with an even bigger heart! It is a combination you do not often find in others, and I am eternally grateful to have had the chance to cross paths. I send my deepest regards to all the family and friends.

Remembering back to the day Chris was born and how much joy he brought to the family that day brings a smile and a measure of comfort to my heart. It was only the first of many days that he brought joy, laughter, kindness, unselfishness and so much more to so many during his almost 39 years. He will be dearly missed. Sweet memories and love are the precious gifts he leaves to all those that knew him.

A great guy since day 1 at college. He wouldn't have been a great doctor only for his brilliance, but also his genuine kindness and empathy. Not to mention he is easily the best smash bros player I have met in my life. The Cabrones will miss their brother deeply.

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