We just want to let you know that our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief. Please take good care of yourself.

As the days turn into weeks, and the initial shock has subsided, we continue to miss Jerry for his wonderful spirit. His presence is truly missed. His absence has left a void in our hearts. We go about our daily business, yet we are not whole. We know that things here will never be the same. We are thankful, though, for the time he spent with us.

I was Jerry’s math teacher from his 3rd grade year through his 5th grade year. To be a teacher was always my dream since my childhood and Jerry was one of my first students during my teaching career. He was considered a smart and talented kid in my classroom. He always loved to draw comic stories in his math book and it made me laugh. He would always do wonderful jobs in my class and I enjoyed working with him.

I want to share some words from Helen Keller:

What we once enjoyed
and deeply loved
we can never lose,
for all that we deeply love
becomes a part of us.

I knew he is in God’s house now, surrounded by all the angles. Jerry was the gift from God to me as a teacher. I am so proud of being his teacher and love him. I will remember him, deep in my heart forever.

Deep sympathy for your loss. You want Jerry to rest in peace, you need to stand up soon. I am sure he wants to see you happy in another side. You will see him again someday. While we are still alive, take good care of yourself and family.

Jerry was always a very humorous kid. We met in preschool and we had many fun times together. I have had many memorable times and one of the funny ones would be on my fifth b-day where we were...ahem... running around somewhat naked in my back yard. Another time was when we went to Lake Tahoe together and we had a contest on who could find the “best” rock. Jerry, being a collector of rocks, found the best one naturally.
Like Shotaro said, there will always be a spot on my funny people list that will always be blank. We always made somewhat impractical jokes, shared them and we would laugh anyways not only because they were funny, but because we were friends. During lunch, before the breaks, we would say some form of "bye" and Merry Thanksgiving in April, and on certain day, we would all try to steal each other's lunch items and see how long it would take before they found out. We would laugh a lot about the stupidest things like the school bean burritos being “bat barf baked at 150 degrees.” I would eat it anyways and sometimes he would watch in amazement. Another thing we did at lunch was listening to Wonton, aka Winston, make funny stories. We would laugh our heads off in stuff like “Dom Dom and the three little mosses”. They were usually based on other stories, that one being based on the three little pigs, just that Dom Dom ate the mosses and got a stomachache at the end. Moral of the story? Never eat mosses. Jerry would do his funny laugh thing and we would join in just like that.
When I found out about his death, it was at a math class I go to. My mom didn’t speak to me until I got home at around six pm. She called me up to my room where she told me about the tragedy. I denied it for about a half an hour before I finally realized they weren’t joking. On Monday, I still didn’t really get over it yet and I was looking forward to meeting him in the usual place we sit. When I got there, everyone was really quiet, especially Robert. None of us really wanted to talk abut him so we tried to get on with the normal schedule. It was really hard since we were missing one of our group members not through an absence but through a passing. I would like to say to the Hwang family that Jerry was a very amiable person and I feel very honored to know him. I am very sorry about his death and I know that if he had a normal life, he would be very successful. We need to remind ourselves that he is only gone physically but not in our hearts. May Jerry rest in peace and his spirit live on forever.

I posted a poem, just because you just never know what to say when things like this happen. But Jerry somehow touched many of peoples hearts. Jerry was a patient in our office. We see so many kids /teens everyday. I didnt picture his face right away, but when the girls told me that he and his mom both are seen by us, my heart sank. I tried to hold back my tears but as a mom I can only imagine the deep pain and sadness his parents, family and close friends are feeling. No words can take away the pain of losing a someone, let alone your child. I hope the family feels the prayers to help give them strength through this tough time.....
You will be missed Jerry!

Connie De Luna

March 22, 2008

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am sad because Jerry was a good friend and he would always be cheerful and make jokes all the time. It was fun being right next to him but now there is only a blank space in my "funny people" list. Jerry would always be happy and laughing about anything from pankakes to air. There was an advantage being next to him, he would always give you a guarenteed laugh. Once in fourth grade I got the Kidney infection, and I thought it was bad enough and I thought everybody else was lucky not to get it. But now, after Jerrry died, I would always feel luckier, because of Jerry. I will always remeber him, because when he died, I learned that life is full of luck and not greif, although it happens, something about the person always heals it. In my case, Jerry left the sign that all life is lucky, and that fills up part of the hole and the rest are Jerry's Jokes about playing "dumb". For example, I would say Merry Christmas in summer vacation, Happy Thanksgiving in March, and mix all the other breaks and it would always leave me a good thought, since we used to do that from third grade at Williams Elementry. When I heard about that I was hoping it wasn't a Jerry I know. But it turn out it was.... Althought I didn't show my feelings I was sad. I hope Jerry has a good time in his afterlife and wait for me, because then we could see each other again. I would like to congradulate his family that he was a very good person. Also I would like to say, although the experience with him was short, he was a likeable person. In the end I have to say that I wish if only he had a full life like most of us...and it is hard to accept that this is true and I hope he has a good next life.

When I heard the news on last Saturday, I didn't immediately picture Jerry with his face, then I remembered him. I rememeber when he was 5 and took the community center class with Belle and Nora. My heart was broken. I started to remember him came to our church with Robert, in art class, in chinese school... Everywhere I go, I remember to see him in there before. I am so sorry...

Jerry must've been a great son and i know he always will. We wil pray for Jerry and cherish him.

Dear Jerry and the <3 family:
Im in jerry's core class in BHMS. Though, he was always quite we all know that he was the kindest boy anyone could know. His benchmark writing test about Mr. Flanagon was a very good and it was so touching formr.Falangon. it was like he got touched that he never got touched before.

I am deeply sorry for Jerry`s death and I hope you feel better soon. I was in his class before the incident happened. It was very sorrowful. He was a nice person and so quiet. After we started playing hockey in Mr.Walker`s class, he was so good at it and then it just happened. Everyone heard the siren at our school and no one knew it was innocent Jerry.

Suzanne Widdowson

March 19, 2008

My students are greatly saddened by the loss of their friend and classmate. I find it difficult to remain upbeat, but I know I must. I look into the tear stained faces of some of his closest friends, and I feel their pain. There is not an hour that goes by when Jerry is not outwardly remembered in class. I know this will continue, and I will encourage my students to express their grief and to give voice to their fond memories. Know that we honor his spirit, and by his own example remember him with the dignity and respect he has earned in his very short time here on Earth.

Jeremy Lee

March 19, 2008

I am very sorry for your loss. I was friends with him in Williams and Bret Harte since second grade. He was always up-beat and very cheerful. I do not remember Jerry not smiling for more than a few minutes. I also remember his beautiful drawings and his spectacular art work. He was a perfectionist and he was almost never satisfied with his work and strived to make it better. I will always remember him in my heart as an excellent role model. May God bless your family.

Jerry Huang was in five of my classes at Bret Harte Middle School and I have just recently met him at Bret Harte. From the few months that I have known him he was one of the most sweetest and respectful people I have ever known and when I heared the shokcing news I cried the whole day, at one point me and my friends were balling so much we went to see the counslers. I wish all hope and luck to his parents and i know he is in a better place.

Jerry was one of my friends at Bret Harte. Although I did not have any classes with him, we talked and laughed during lunch almost every day. When I first heard of this news, I simply could not believe it! Here I am, sitting there and doing everyday business, and this tragedy hits me like a bolt of lightning, zapping me right into shock! I thought that friends only die elsewhere, an anonymous person. But "that person" was a person, and Jerry was too. Alas, all people die, some time or another. The fact I could not accept was that Jerry was not even thirteen years of age yet! It took me a long time to accept this fact. I am truly sad about this tragedy, and I will never forget him. My condolences to him and his family.

I cried all day when I heard about Jerry on Sunday . I tried to comfort his mom but I couldn't because I felt like he was my son and the only thing I could do is crying .Jerry was born in the same hospital ,same city ,only couples weeks earlier than my son who is also 12 now. We were visit the family on Christmas vacation 2007 from the east coast and we had a very good time and my kids(12 and 10) like Jerry so much .They were very sad when they heard the news. Jerry is not alone, we will remember him .

I was the Cub Master when Jerry was in the Cub Scout. I knew Jerry for years. Jerry was a very energetic kid, and willing to offer his help to anyone around him anytime. I feel very sad of loosing him in our community but I am very sure he is in haven now. I wish the best for his families.

I am one of Jerry Huang's friend. He had a great sense of humor and serious when needed. He had very good drawing skills and he was in my troop. This is the only way for me to remember him. May his spirit be with you.

Although I may not be a student at that school, I know the feeling of losing a loved one. Time flies and ticks life away. Each person's fate ends when it does. Where ever Jerry may go, he will always be in Heaven by God's side. He is not a lonesome spirit, a wandering boy, or even any regular child...he is now God's child...

Jerry was one of my friends at Bret Harte Middle School, and I was absolutely shocked to hear of his death. Death was simply unthinkable when it came to my friends, and yet this tradgedy occured. You think that things like these only happen to someone else, and yet we are all "someone else" to someone else. May God guide Jerry's family through their troubled time. My condolences to Jerry's family.

As I was in his Troop, I am sad of this energetic kid's sudden death. He was so young, yet fate has claimed him as his own. I hope that he is happy wherever he is.
