Gentlemen,

Please release our statement.

This Story

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Aguilar family for the loss of their son Quirinius "Rain" Williams. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our daughter. Desiree and Rain have been close friends since Desiree started at Forest Park. They spent hours texting daily and looked forward to being together when they could at the movies on occasion or at school. It is tragic to live with the thoughts of what could have been for two such promising children and is difficult to understand what would push two young people to see this as the only way to be together. Perhaps our loss will serve as a reminder to all of us that outward appearances can be very different from what is going on inside the mind of someone you love.

Bobby and Pamela Patrick
