I read everyone's comments and I have to say that it is sad to see all of the anger people are expressing to one another even after the fact that so many lives have passed on and so many people are in pain but to lash out to eachother is not the right thing to do. Life is too short and u just never know when it is ur time and we all know that this world has enough of bad things so do something to make this world better. To those that lost a loved one do something to remember them and pass it on leave all the anger behind because it will take over u and that is not what ur loved ones wanted for u. Let god judge and without a fact yes Robert made a horrible deccission that cost so many lives as well as himself but dont post bad comments because it is not his families fault they lost someone too. I mean no harm to anyone but the way i see it the whole world is in pain over this so dont add to anymore pain and suffering then they already feel. Rest In Peace to all the people on 111 and god bless u all. Nothing will ever take away the pain and emptyness to the families that lost someone on September 12th so have respect for everyone. I leave you with this "Here today but could be gone tomorrow"!!! Love ur friends and family now dont wait till tragedy strikes.

Mr Grace was such a nice person, always there to help the students and parents even when he wasn't the student's counselor. My niece and nephew graduated from Roosevelt Middle School and he helped them more than once. Glendale School District lost such a great counselor. He will be truly missed! Our heart and prayers are with his family.
MAY HE REST IN PEACE!!!

Atul helped bring everyone around him up to his level. I'll miss the days of high school that seem like they were not so long ago. He was a great friend and amazing person. I'm saddened by the loss but find peace knowing he is in a better place looking down on us and making sure we continue to strive. Each of us now has another angel above us keeping us strong for the rest of our lives. Rest in peace to my friend.

The entire Fresno Taxpayer Advocate office was stunned into silence and profound sadness. Greg has been to our office many times; he assisted all of us with our complex cases and technical issues. He was bright and professional and a great help to us in Fresno. We looked forward to his visits and chatting with him about baseball and his family. Whether in person or over the phone, he was the ultimate technical advisor. He will always be in our hearts and memories.

Dear Bev, there are no words that can describe how much I will miss you. Our working together on the most challenging issues/cases, our talks, your unique ability to understand without judging, your caring and ability to give undivided attention, your wisdom and patience, your perseverance and positive attitude, the lives you touched, the positive difference you made - the list goes on and on... You truly left an indelible mark. You will live in my memory album and in my heart forever.

Beverly: We only knew each other for a little while, and shared jokes about getting each others mail. On behalf of the Labor & Delivery staff, nurse midwives and physicians we thank you for your unfailing grace and charm. We will never say goodbye to you friend, but God be with you until we meet again. Our thoughts and prayers to your family and friends who will miss your terribly. I believe today and everyday that each life is a journey, a privilege, a blessing.

  • 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.
