What tragic news to hear & what a sad loss. we just lost a bochur 18 month baby in Lakewood today who caught a sickness & a 10 week old baby yesterday from queens left in the park alone. is this not a tragic mageifa from Hashem waiting for us to return to him through teshuva or is this coincidence?
Please let us repent & return to hashem. so this time of sadness can come to an end
May his soul rest in peace
