<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Hi r/relationships, I wish I was coming for advice in a better situation 

Earlier today I spoke with my dad who informed me of the death of a classmate from elementary and junior high. He was apparently murdered a few months and I don't think the person responsible has  been arrested yet. I'm not sure if the details and there isn't anything online besides an obituary. 

My dad heard about this from my classmates mom. She asked my dad if I would be willing to visit her at some point over Christmas break. Her son apparently had a crush on me throughout the years that we knew each other and she just wants to talk and reminisce. 

I'm planning on going and bringing any old pictures that I have. Is there anything else I should do or say that would bring her comfort? I haven't lost too many people close to me and I'm not sure of the best way to handle this.
<bot>: a friend/classmate from childhood who liked me was recently killed. His mom wants to meet me. Advice and words of wisdom appreciated.
