I didn't know Mr. Fuller but his wonderful daughter, Kelly Loftis, is my teacher. She is a great person and we miss her dearly this week. In reading these posts about her father, I see so many qualities of Mr. Fuller in his daughter. She makes us laugh and she is full of life even as she teaches math.

And now that Mr. Fuller is in the most wonderful place of all with his Lord, my heart goes out to his whole family, especially Mrs. Loftis, and my prayers are with you all.

I went to Roosevelt 3 years ago, and if there was one thing i remember about Mr grace it was the fact that he was an all around genuine nice guy. always polite and never sad or angry in any way. i remember him changing my math class, talking to him after school, and just seeing him around school saying "hi Mr grace." i just cant believe such a thing has happened, my prayers are with his family. Rest in peace Mr Grace, you will never be forgotten.

Roger our brother in law was a loving, caring and generous gentleman. Rest in peace. Our love and condolences to Tiz, Matt, Chris and familes from John, Ev, Clayton, Simon and familes from Down Under Australia.

I did not know Roger, but rode in the same train car he was in every morning. I enjoyed listening to his "English accent", and he was always friendly to everyone. My heart goes out to his family.

Manuel was the greatest friend that anyone could wish for. He was always there for you! He always put everyone before himself. Manuel taught me so much as a Marine and as a person. He taught me how people should live their lives. He taught me to look at the good in all people no matter what. Manuel you are going to be missed by many people, but I know I will see you again. Bless you and your family.

Kari--

I will always remember your gentle, kind spirit. I will always remember your hard work and committment to the people and activities you cared about. I will always remember how concerned you were for the people around you.

You're one of a kind Kari, and I am sorry that I will not see the great and beautiful things you would accomplish here with us. I can only figure that God has some super important work for you up in Heaven because it's certainly not fair that He'd take you away from us this soon!

My love and prayers and with you, your family, and your friends. Thank you Kari for being a blessing to us all.

I never knew Maria but reading her story and all these commentaries was so heart-wrenching, I broke down in tears. All the victims' stories are heart-breaking but this one in particular, as a bright, ebullient young woman with a promising future ahead of her was cut down in her prime. I can only hope that the family, along with other victims' famillies will direct all their grief and anger to push for stronger safety measures and better rail design to prevent such a crash from ever happening again.

Atul was the most humble, generous, and intelligent human being I've had the pleasure with whom to be acquainted. His impact on my life, though I knew him only briefly, is truly deeply felt. All the afternoons and weekends we spent in aca deca will be remembered and treasured. Thank you for making me a friend Atul. I miss you.

I joined car #1 everyday in Chatsworth. Donna was there and got off at the next station in Simi Valley. I sat in the same spot, most of us on Metrolink had our spots. Mine was at the back of car #1, next to the door where Donna got off the train. She always had something nice to say. We did the chit chat about the weather, the weekend and the day that was behind us. My daughter had called me early in the week from college, very sad and very homesick. So at the last minute I bought a ticket and instead of going home on the train that afternoon, I flew to Colorado to see my daughter. My feelings run a mix of emotions, and I had hoped that by some miracle Donna would have been OK. My heart broke when I saw her name, and the names and faces of my other train buddies. I don't have the words that can make your hearts feel less pain, but I want to thank your family for letting me share just a short time with you. I will miss you and all the other faces and smiles on 111. To your family, she was wonderful. Be proud, she was a true good human.

Mr Sanchez, God Bless you and your family. I could never imagine you wanted this to happen and it is terrible that you are being perceived the way you are after this accident. Just remember ALL humans make mistakes and that is how we endure and move forward. The only people that you have to answer to will be in heaven with you now and one day and I am sure they will love you and forgive you for any mistakes as you would them. God Bless. God Bless your family.
