Chatsworth Metrolink Crash Comments > Page 27

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.
remember.... forever!
As I scan my memories of Chris I realize that they are all positive. All happy. All fun. Chris' warm heart and quick smile put everyone at ease. He is missed dearly by everyone that had the good fortune of knowing him.
My condolences to the Hefter family and all the family that lost thier love ones on that fatal train crash. I am all the way here in Japan and I had just learned about this horrible news. Even though this happened 3 weeks ago, I had a sudden sadness I felt in my heart specially after reading Jacob's girlfriend's comment. I just want to let you all know that even though I am all the way right here in Japan, I will pray for all of you. I am from Los Angeles too and used to take trains to go to work and back home. May God bless all the family that lost thier loved ones back home. And may God give you strength to go through this tough times.
REST IN PEACE TO ALL THAT PERISHED....YOU ALL ARE NOW IN GOD'S HAND.
Careless needless someone said WHY?
Because the man had fun on his mind shame on him
he took care of his dog better than the care of his
train mates. I'm angry and what a waste of such beautiful
trusting soul. Mr. Sanchez did in fact cause this accident which could have been avoided.Wake up world and watch your neighbors if and when they are doing wrong please.
She was a very sweet and caring girl. I enjoyed working with her at Henry Mayo Hospital. Kari, I wanted to say thank you for helping me for my work. Thank you for making me laugh and hannging out with me. I remeber you, your sister and Pacilla came to my baby shower. I miss and love you. I wish you could see my baby before this happen. You were such a blessing to my family.
May you rest forever in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
It was early morning when I learned of the train crash. I was up feeding my newborn baby. I knew several people who took that train and immediately prayed for everyone on that train. Fortunately, two close friends decided that afternoon to take a different means of transportation...out of the blue. My mom called me that afternoon and asked me if I remembered a Mr. Long from Grace Brethren School. I said, "oh yes." She then told me that he had died in the train crash. Tears poured down my face. I just couldn't believe it. Mr. Long was my English and Algebra teacher at GBS. I attended Grace Brethren from 1980-1989. Mr. Long was a very caring and compassionate man who loved Jesus Christ. He was an honest and fair teacher. I vividly remember his Michael W. Smith and Petra posters hanging on the walls. He introduced all of us to Christian Rock (there were only about 75 students in the whole school at that time). We all were a tight-knit group of kids. I remember the skinny ties that he wore and that he always, ALWAYS brushed his teeth after his lunch break. He would always come back into class with toothbrush and paste in hand. He will be missed dearly on this earth...but for those who believe will see him again one day!!!
Sitting on hold at work writing this. Thanks for such a great memory I really relate to the baking the cake part. Sounds like I would have really liked to know him. My heart aches for this family and wishes them all the best. Find peace. Keep dreaming.
My sincere condolences to the Grace family, friends, community; I graduated from Roosevelt Jr. High School in 1988, and just a few weeks ago I was thinking of Mr. Grace. And today I learned of the tragedy. I will always remember Mr. Grace; how his personality, smile would just light up the field as he would walk across the field, with his clipboard in hand. He was a wonderful human being, a considerate, soft spoken, always with a kind greeting, a kind word, a kind and dear man. God He will be dearly, dearly missed. I am lost for words. He was a Great, Great Man.
Though we all may have lost someone who is a big part of our lives and our hearts and we are not able to replace or fill that emptyness that our love ones have taken with them when they left this world. but i hope that maybe we all can come together and allow each other to come into each others lives since i know that we all share the same pain. when my father passed in that metrolink 2008 crash my life has not been the same and its been very difficult, my father left behind his wife and 5 children and so many grand children, and we all miss and love him so much but talkin about him with my family and remembering all the good times we had with him helps us with our pain of losing him. so i just would like to let you all know i am here if you need to talk or just someone to listen to you. my email is

my hearts and prayers go out to you.
