Karen,
Bob and I have fond memories of the Bible studies, youth groups and school events that we attended with both Paul and you. We also recall the meals out and the Christian concerts where we could just be friends and support one another. We shared in the power of prayer until Devin was born. We miss you Paul! We love you Karen & Devin.

Greg was in my class at Beardstown High School. I didn't know him well but I can see by those that did that not knowing him was my loss. My condolences to his family!

Dear Uncle Larry, Larry II, and Tiffany,

It may have been years since we've left California, but I will always have memories of Aunty Donna smiling. Our recent family reunion shows that we can always come together as one, through the good times and the bad. Even with the two Tiffanys hanging out with each other like good friends brought a smile to my face. Our condolences to you, Larry II, and Tiffany. Aunty will always be with us in our hearts.

Love,

I too have very fond memories of riding the Metrolink with Buck from 1992 until I moved away in 1995. I recall that we usually made a bigger deal when Buck joined us than we did with most others, and we'd all gather at the window and wave and yell to him when he got off in Simi Valley!He was a lot of fun and will be missed. I am so sorry.

She was an amazing woman that did lots of amazing things. She shaved her head for childhood cancer awareness and donated her hair to locks of love. I hope that her family deals with her death in a good way and understands that everything happens for a reason. She was one of the nicest people i have ever met.

My heart goes out to Nikki and Tina. My heart aches knowing Beverly is gone. Tina you said it best "she was a survivor..and had no regrets..". But most of all she was the BEST mother to the both of you. She saw the both of you through a lot, I know because I was there part of the way. I know your mom is very, very PROUD of the both of you. The last time I talked to her she was beaming and she had gushed how happy she was to be your mother. Rest assured she will be in our hearts forever. Her smile and gentle quality will be missed.

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.
