Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lascoume

Dear Mr and Mrs. Lascoume,

I met you yesterday. My name is Carmen Derouin.
Tristan was in my class. (6b) He was a wonderful member of our class.
I wasn't able to get to know him but he was really nice. I am very sorry and I think about you all the time.
Even my mom is very emotional about the whole thing. One time in theater class he was in our group and we had a great time. He was very funny and I want you to know that even though we weren't close all of LILA is just one big family and we need each other to survive. Tristan was hilarious, sometimes he would make jokes and he knew when to be serious. I am sorry to disturb you, I just wanted you to know how much he matters to us. Especialy you.
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tristan,
I wish that i could see you again and i wish that you could some how come back. Things at school are going pretty well and everyone thinks of you. The school set up a table with flowers, a book to write letters to you in and of course a picture of you. Almost every day people write tuns of letters in the book to you. I know that i didn't know you very well, but you were still in my class and you made me laugh. I will write to you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: We will always remember you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your friend Devin

Hello mr. and mrs. Lascoumes

Hello Mr. and Mrs. Lascoumes,
I don't think we have ever met, but my name is Samantha Dier. I am Katalina Dier's Daughter. She might of e-mailed you about blood donning. Well, I was one of Tristans friends. I was in his class. I never got to visit him because i was planning on visiting him last, last thursday but couldn't go because i had a i stomach ache and then the hospital last thursday wouldn't let me go. This is a hole different subect but i'm from the Pasadena Campus(that used to be Monrovia), and I met Tristan in the THIRD GRADE when the monrovia Campus went to go visit the West Valley Campus. So i've known your son for a while. I heard that Tristan had two very nice older sisters. I bet they were two very nice older sisters to Tristan. I'm sorry about what happended last thurday, but I know Tristan was such a great friend and he was soooooooooooooo generous and hewas always very happy and perky. He would light up someones face when you would just even glanced at him. On his locker, we put a school picture of him and Tyla Salley put a big memorial sign saying how we loved him so much and how we are happy he didn't suffer and how he was such a great friend. Any way i just wanted to say that your son was the nicest guy i have ever met and we are dying here because he passed and we are very sorry. Well, thank you for bringing tristan into the world and for making him so kind, polite, generous and perky. We give you all our thoughts.

SINCERLY YOURS,
Samantha Dier

TRISTAN

Im so sorry. Tristan you are the funniest, coolest, happiest, best kid. Hope you are in a better place.
