I send my deepest sympathy to the Londergan family. I know the family through their son, Mike, who has taken several courses with me at Bentley College. His most recent course was to Senegal, West AFrica, where he was a great help and steady participant. He spoke of his brother and clearly loved him deeply.

I remember hearing about you going to BHS this year and how excited everyone who knew you was. Everyday i see things that remind me of the joy you could get out of simple things anyone else would have overlooked. Everybody always gets a laugh out of something that reminds us of past memories with you. We will always remember you for your original personality that put a smile on anyones face. I'll remember you as a leader and brother who was always available for any of his friends.

Unfortunatly there are no magic words or deeds to ease the emotions felt during this kind of grief. Please know that I still see that little boy smile, taking his sweet time as he walked home from Ross while I waited to cross him. And all the time Chris spent with your boys as well. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

Its hard to lose a friend, but Richard was more than a friend to us, he was our brother. Rich was a great person and a great friend. He was loved by everyone for his hilarious jokes and strange drawings. He could make anyone laugh and could always make the most serious situations hilarious. He was my closest friend. I hung out with him all the time, and those times are now the fondest memories I have in my life. But Richard is not gone. He lives with each and every one of us in our hearts. I love you Rich, and you will never be forgotten.

It feels so terrible to loose a friend like Rich, I can't even attempt to act like I know how you must feel in this time of tragedy. Rich sat in the desk in front of me in Latin, and next to me in Homeroom all this year, and even when I was having a bad day he always found a way to make me laugh. Your son, your brother was a great kid, and an awesome friend... I'm going to miss him. You're in my prayers.

Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".
