I can not even find words… So sad…
This is by far the saddest story I have read in a long while.
My most heartfelt condolences to the bereaved, I am so very sorry for their loss.
Such a tragedy, and though it's awful for any family. It couldn't happen to amore beautiful, loving family. He was the apple of their eye, and a joy to know. A sweeter child cannot be found.
She was gentle, sweet, loving and so caring. Just to be 1% of the woman she was.
May God comfort the daughter, mother, father, rest of the family and friends at this time.
Tell your loved ones that you love them every day.

Beautiful family! That lovely lady, grandma, held that little boy’s hand tight just walking in the car park. She is holding him tight now too. We miss you both and love you all very much.
"According to a police spokesperson the family had requested that the RCIPS does not release the names of the child who died Monday or his grandmother." I don't blame them, it is too disheartening for the public to know and gossip their names. No one can imagine the grief and loss they are experiencing. Two love ones loss in one week. The grandmother must have died from a broken heart. For this entire year, I have not came across such sad and unfortunate news in my life. My deepest condolences and may God see the family through this difficult time.
Amen; I affirm all you say.
Just too tragic for words. Deepest sympathy to family.
Condelences to the Family such a sad sad situtaion.
No other news has affected me lately like this story. It is absolutely heart breaking and I'm so sad about it. Lord please be with the family in this terrible time. This is so tragic and me in particular don't know how I would cope losing both my son and mother days apart. RIP baby boy and your grandma!
I am so very sorry to hear this news. Such sadness for the family.
