Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry, just read this article trying to find Law Riskin. I remember what a great child he was. With sweet memories, watching him as a child Marlene `Fisher´ Holayter.

Hello Sherry, I was watching dateline, and saw you, at first glance, I watched because you stuck me as being a very beautiful woman, then I listened to the story, im so sorry for your loss, I know it's been a while, my wife passed away this March, I know it's nothing compared to what you are going through, just wanted to reach out, Todd, from Boston Ma.

I don't know why I've never written before. I never had the privilege of knowing Law Risken in life, but I was most certainly affected by his passing. I was the teacher who took over as an interim until a credentialed special ed teacher could be found. I was there for nearly two weeks. It was profound to sit in his chair and experience his life through his students. Mr. Risken, through your tragedy I was able to grow as a teacher, to become a better teacher. After that...

Mr. Risken, I will always remember our crazy conversations on the USS Duncan.

Hey Larry,
Happy Birthday to you and Mom. Hope you two are behaving yourselves up there on your birthdays. We are still holding out hope for answers and will always hold you close to our hearts.

Love,
Sherry

Larry. It has been two years since you were taken from us. You are loved and missed by many. We have realized a great degree of justice in your case over this period. I think we will see more. Love, Dad

Two years tomorrow Dear Larry,
and we miss you more each day.
Yours was a life of love and service,
cut short April 18, 2006, even as
you were in the ACT of HELPING
others. WE REMEMBER. R.I.P. Larry

Mr. Riskin, I just wanted to say thanks to you for your time with our students and to your family for their generous gifts in your name. Two CBI students have already been picked out, and we will give a scholarship to all who you touched, and more!!!

Morning Larry,
I'll bet you enjoyed yesterday's Superbowl, from your 50 yard +++
seat up there alongside your Mom
and Brother. That's good but I am
struck today with the thought of how sad it is you are not at LHS,
to help your Special Ed Students
sort out tomorrows CA Presidential
Primary, on Super Tuesday. Your's
was a Love and Talent to show them
how to disagree, without rancor and
hard feelings. We miss you Sir.
