Dear Bailey Family,

We did not know your son Richard, but we live on South Lake Avenue and were horrified to hear of his death. We have been saddened each day as we drove past the small memorial erected in Richard's honor. We extend to you our deepest sympathy.

Bailey Family, As a mom from upstate with a daughter going to John Jay in Manhattan I feel your pain. Your son sounds like a very special kid who will be greatly missed. You and your son are in my thoughts.

Dear Bailey Family,
I can not express my sadness when I heard what happened to your beloved son. It is so unfair. I pray for your family that you can make it through this difficult time and your son gets justice for ending such a promising young life. There are so many people that care and pray for you now.

My deepest sympathy to your entire family. Words cannot express how sorry I am. My son, Paul played Red Devils Football and Central Baseball with Rick and he was the type of kid who always stood out. He was an excellent athlete and a really nice young boy.Its been a long time since I've seen him, but it sounds like he matured into a great adult. I am sincerly sorry. The Gruber Family
