To the Larkin family,
I taught Tyreek when he was a freshman and a junior at Hodgson a few years ago. Whenever he saw me he said hello and smiled. He was always respectful and made me laugh. We had a good student-teacher relationship. Once he graduated, I was fortunate enough to still see him here and there as he picked up his sister Tori from school every day as I was picking up my daughter. I am heart-broken to hear of this tragedy and offer love, hugs and prayers. God has just gained an angel. Spread your wings Tyreek...you will be missed!

To the Larkin's family especially to his Mom and Dad. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dear son. I can only imagine your pain and still not to the degree that is even close. It hurts me personally to know of another tragedy such as this. My grandsons knew Tyreek and what sadness we feel. Please know that our Creator knows your pain and he is there to help your through this difficult most difficult time..

After Glow

I'd like the memory of me
To be a Happy one.
I'd like to leave an After Glow
Of smiles when my day is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the wave
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the Sun.
Of happy memories that I leave
When my day is done.

Tyreek we love you.

I am so sorry for your loss. No one should ever have to go through what your family is going through. R.I.P Tyreek.

June 28, 2016

Tyreek, I haven't seen you since Thanksgiving Day 2014. You sat at the house all day and told me you'd be leaving when dinner was ready. I told you that you were welcome to stay but if your Mom was cooking that you should go home. You said my Mom is still cooking and waiting on the family so can I get a little plate?Then you had another huge plate! I said your Mom is going to get you. Now you're full and sleepy. I'll never forget you and I'll always think of you at my table on Thanksgiving. I love you. RIP and I'm rejoicing because you are a child of the most high God and you know the Lord.
Deepest Sympathy,
Ms. Veronica

There are not enough words to express how heavy hearted I feel over your loss. May God continue to comfort your family in your time of bereavement and fill you with his peace and mercy continually.

Rori, words can not express how my heart bleeds for you and your family at this time. This world that we live in today can never be explained. But we have to believe that God has the final say and we just have to trust and believe in his direction and know that he won't give us nothing that we can't handle. With the comfort of your friends and family this too shall pass and the pain that you and everyone who knew Tyreek feels now will become comfort knowing he is with his father and will be forever protected.

Tyreek Larkins was one of my all-time favorite students. He was a bright, hard-working, funny, and respectful young man. At least once in every class, he would make me smile or laugh in some way. I am heart-broken to hear about his passing, and I will miss him dearly. Tyreek's family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers now and always.
